Guys can anyone help me... the lapi I am trying to install win 8 on gives a blinking cursor when made to boot from a pen drive and nothing more...
Is this machine good for W8? If cpu does not accept 8, it won't install even coming from a stick or wherever.
found problems exactly with installing inside. Case was cpu which didn't accept 8. Did this with CP and RP version and went fine but when doing it finally with RTM > no way. Please find out and report
Try original windows 8 iso from microsoft (google it) & Windows7-USB-DVD-tool Turn Floppy Drive off in bios (If its there) ace2.
You will need to check if your processor supports PAE, NX and SSE2 at least. To check it, follow these steps: Download CoreInfo tool from Sysinternals. (Direct download link here) Extract the zip file and open Coreinfo.exe through command prompt. If you double click the executable file, it will open and disappear. So you will need to open command prompt and run the exe file from there. An easy way to open the file in command prompt is to first open the command prompt, drag and drop the file to the command prompt window and hit enter. This will open a list of features supported by your CPU. You will need to find these three features PAE, NX and SSE2 and make sure they are supported. Checking for compatible processor features for Windows 8 installation The star (*) in front of each feature in the list will show that your processor supports these features and Windows 8 can be installed on your PC. technize.net/how-to-check-if-your-processor-supports-pae-nx-and-sse2-for-windows-8-installation/ By the way, the easiest way to make sure that Windows 8 RTM will work is to use the upgrade assistant as suggested by Shenj.
first formatted pd... then copied whole win 8 setup files... then using cmd entered boot directory of win 8 and using command below added bootsector to pd Code: bootsect.exe /nt60 G: G: was the drive letter
Which method you use to create bootable PD? Either use manual command line method or tool mentioned above by ace2.
the basic problem is the person wan't to install win 8 is somewhrer else with his lap and yesterday I was using teamviewer to operate his lapi... and I didn't try that Edit:nope custom install doenot work... it doesnot let me start the setup saying that the application is 64bit and will not start on a 32bit windows
I just tried using upgrade assistant and it shows a few apps to be incompatible... but these apps have nothing to do with drivers and other windows core requirements
Remove hdd attach to a different Pc install windows 8 than Replace to (lapi) If not work reinstall windows 7 ace2.
Why are you even trying to put 64bit W8 on it, i doubt that notebook does even have more than 4GB RAM, if it doesnt have more than 4.. go straight with 32bit, there is just no point in 64bit with 4gb ram, even x86 can just handle it fine, x64bit will only need a bit more resources, but in the end will not improve performance
