Hi Joan, Greetings from Texas. Is there a Eightforums desktop icon available? Thanks, jm44jg39

Try going to Device Manager and click on your Ethernet adapter and choose power options and uncheck Wake Up on lan/Internet action. This worked for me.

Ok, thanks. I will try it. Will this procedure create a "system reserved" partition?

Yes. I have a retail Win 8 pro disk that I purchased from MS.

I believe my problem is that I don't have a "system reserved" partition on the ssd that Win 8 is installed on. My Win 7 ssd has a "system reserved partition". This may have been placed on the Win 7 ssd when I installed Win 8 pro. Is it possible to create a "system reserved" partition with a mbr...

I am having a problem with this tutorial. I believe I have followed the above process but I still boot with the Legacy screen. I have Win 7 hp 64 bit on one SSD, this installation includes the 100 mb reserved partition at the front of the drive. The Win 8.1 with all the latest updates , is...

Thanks, I will check this out. Right now the drive uses external power.

I am running Win 8.1 Pro 64 bit. I have a WD "red" HDD connected externally in a NexStar-NX box. The NexStar supports USB 3.0 and eSATA. The USB 3.0 connection works fine and shows up in WIN 8.1 disk manager and all files are accessable. When I use a eSATA cable (have tried 2 different ones) the...

Hdd won't allow Win 8.1 to finish loading. Thanks for the advice. I did what you suggested with one of my non boot hdd's and it allowed Win 8 to load. However, I tried an older (6 years) Maxtor 120 gb hdd and this drive is ok with Win 7 but won't allow Win 8 to load. I deleted the partition and...

I have a dual boot system with Win 7 and a Win 8.1 and all works well. I am using two SSD's with Win 8 and the other with Win 7. Asus Maximus v Gene, i5 3570k and 16 gb ram. When I boot into Win 7 with an additional internal hdd plugged into a mob SATA port all is ok. However, when I attempt to...

Thanks, Brink.

I am having a problem creating a USB recovery drive. The problem is the "copy contents....." box is greyed out. I created a Recovery Partition C:\RefreshImage and I want to copy this Recovery Partition to a USB bootable recovery drive. I formatted my Kingston 3.0 USB 32 gb using Fat32 (long...

I was having a heck of a time yesterday because my "store" never had the Win 8.1 Pro free upgrade. I had upgraded previously up graded the "8.1 Preview" via a downloaded ISO. I had installed all of the updates available, still no link to 8.1 upgrade. I left my computer on last night in the hopes...

I will check on the trim function. Since my operating systems are on seperate ssd's does that mean I'm really dual booting? There is no indication of that on either operating system. However, the Win 8.1 pro does list the Win 7 system in the restore point configure window. I will try configuring...

Thanks for the fast reply. I have two ssd's, one with Win 7 64 bit hp, and one with Win 8.1 pro 64 bit. I am using a Asus Maximus V Gene and a Intel I5 3570k along with 16 gig of ram. Also installed is a Asus/Nvidia 660 graphics card. I am not dual booting. The operating systems each reside on...

I am running the new Windows 8.1 preview (64 bit). The computer keeps deleting my Restore Points. I have set the configure setting to about 10% of my SSD space (10 gig or so). I can create the restore points, however, after a day or so and some re-boots I either have no restore points or maybe...
