I've just built myself a potentially sweet gaming rig. Potentially, because I fail to install Windows 8 on it. I've tried a few different things already, different disks, USB booting with Plop Boot Manager, nothing seems to work.
I just end up on
I do indeed have my optical drive as primary boot device, and SATA Mode is on AHCI. My purpose is to put Win8 on an SSD and have all my other stuff on an SSHD. The SSHD is unplugged for now, I was planning on plugging that in after everything installed.
I'm going slightly insane, since I've built this thing yesterday, went to sleep, went to work, came home and 6 hours later I'm still nowhere.
I have noticed though that when I put in a Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM, it did want to boot -that-.
