Hi guys! So I finished a build and I've been troubleshooting for a little while now. At first I just booted everything up, ran my Windows 8 cd and installed Windows. I noticed that an error occured, but didn't think much of it. I was running windows and decided to update windows, when I got stuck in a crash loop. It tried to fix windows, but failed.
So I decided to reinstall Windows again. This time I watched it closely, and it crashed again. "files could not be installed, etc..."
I checked out the google, and found a few posts discussing the Rampage IV and Windows 8 install. They were talking about switching to UEFI mode, because the standard mode won't allow you to install the proper Windows SATA drivers. Now I'm a bit stuck...
My hard drive is a 128gb SSD, connected w/ the 6 gb/s SATA cable into one of the RED Sata connections on the Rampage.
In the BIOS for the Rampage, one of the sites recommended switching to UEFI... they have a picture of "Boot Option #1" and in their picture they have 6 or 7 options for possible boots. Mine unfortunately, only has two. HL DVD-r (My optical dvd drive) and Samsung SSD.
I'm going to google some more to see if I can find the problem elsewhere, I just thought Reddit might be able to help me out. Thanks in advance!
