Win 8 installed okay. And I found another Intel video driver that allowed setting my display's aspect ratio. Few apps I've added work, but most don't. The smaller x64 version apparently doesn't come with all the new developer apps.
My single drive was divided into two partitions C: & D: before installation (under XP & Win7). After installing Win8, D: partition changed to "RAW" instead on NTFS. Win8 offers to format the partition when I try to access it, but I'd rather not lose the data.
Win8's command line tools Diskpart, Bootsect, etc, so far are unable to change D: partition to back NTFS. However, D: partition is visible as NTFS, with data seemingly intact, when booting from a Hirens CD.
Hirens boot CD's disk tools probably can save the files, although I haven't tried. And I could format the partition from Win8...wiping all data, but I'd rather fix the problem without laboriously moving the files.
Any suggestions?
