In that case I guess I need to break out partition magic. Thanks for the heads up. I might still give VM a whirl just to see if I might have different luck. It could totally happen!
VM Workstation 8 did the trick.
I'm not pleased with Windows 8 at all really. This is really aimed at touch computers, mouse and keyboard feel weird in an enviroment like this, and really, even inside the desktop "mode" it just doesn't feel right anymore. Heck it's even lacking a proper start menu.
If its not broke dont try fix it.
I'll be sticking with Win 7. At least for now unless something extraordinary comes with Win 8 that is worth the dollar
May download it to try it. I'm a sucker for new Windows builds and beta stuff. Although I'm not all that interested in it due to the tablet based approach
What's the difference between win7 and 8? :O
Even if I install Windows 8 and it turns out to be utter garbage it still makes my inner super techie nerd happy to have a new toy with which to play. It is win-win no matter what as something to do to pass the time.
I've never understood the exitement about an opertating system, really, whats the point? as long as it doesn't crash and its compatible with evrything I don't give a F**k
