Hello,I have downloaded the iso imae provided by you and mount it in windows 7 when I click install setup starts to run and it ask whether I want custom install or upgrade. I have tried both but at time of restart if I press F8 there appears nothing but a blank screen and if I press "enter" windows 8 logo appears and few errors which ask to press power button. If I press "esc" there are two options in boot menu 1..Windows setup 2.Windows 7 If i press windows setup all things go same which i mention above and if I select windows 7 then my windows 7 starts. Hope to get help from you/someone soon
Follow these steps: 1. Have a new partition of 16G or more for install the win8, then mount the win8 ISO. 2. Launch the setup.exe in sources folder. 3. Choose custom install, and choose to install in the new partition. 4. When files are expanded to 27%, it will reboot by itself, do nothing, the error blue screen will show, press F8, then 7, it will then proceed with installation. 5. On the 2nd reboot, it will show "windows setup" and "win7"; either click "windows setup" or simply do nothing, it will reboot into windows setup after 30 secs., and the error blue screen will show up, press F8 then 7. Good luck.
Thanks for reply So I will have 2 os on my system that is win 7 & win 8 Anyway to have win 8 on c drive and make it my main and only os by removing 7. Thanks

Hello,This steps work but my windows 8 stuck to windows logo page.It only shows windows is starting but only waiting circle revolves.Any help please
LOL, I think you have a hardware/driver problem, probably related to graphic card, that's why you only got a blank screen instead of the error blue screen. - reboot, move cursor to win8, then press F8, if you get the menu as shown in OP, press 5 for safe-mode with web, if blank screen, press 5 anyway and see if it could get you thru. If you are able to get into safe mode, try update your graphic card driver. If cannot get to safe mode, I am sorry, nothing I could do at my end.
Thanks for reply Faikee. People who give up does not dare to join MDL I will try and post the result soon.
Can I have the link too? I don't mean to double post but I figured you wouldn't read a post that's 14 pages away and I really want Windows 8.
I have a pentium 4 2.8ghz s478 and I read this topic whether you can give me a direct link to download Windows 8 will work on Pentium 4? tnx
you do not have already made .iso with Windows 8 running on a Pentium 4? or somewhere link for download? is easier
