Hello.
I have an HP laptop that needed to be upgraded to windows 10, having Windows 8 originally. The owner updated on his own, but the system halted every time with a BSOD making reference to an AMD driver file.
I installed Windows 10 almost clean, meaning, wiped out all the partitions except the HP OEM Recovery just in case.
Turns out, the problem with windows 10 is the driver for the AMD board, and it does not seem to have a fix yet.
Now my biggest problem, I cannot for the life of me boot from the OEM partition to restore Windows 8: I cannot set the partition to active from windows 10, and other 3rd party tools also don't give me that option. I've run out of ideas, there's no recovery disks from the owner and I am starting to feel the pressure. In all the time I've had installing operating systems I've never came across a situation like this where a simple driver makes impossible to install the system.
Does anyone have any tool/recomendation to force booting from the OEM partition?
Thanks in advance.
