Help please!
Situation: I'm trying to install Win 8 on a brand new ssd.
To set up the ssd the directions included say "from the home menu screen go to... blah blah blah."
I can't do that since I dont have an operating system installed, and it wont let me install
windows from the install disc unless I set the drive up first. I'm stuck.
Secondary situation: I also have a second internal drive with win 7 on it (currenty unplugged)
that I want to put in this pc, but I want to keep all my files on it, and am not sure how to
get it to win 8 but also keep my files on it after I figure out the first situation.
- Turns on pc
- "Insert proper boot media"
- insert the Win 8 install disk
- Click Install
- Enter product key and accept tos
- "Which type of installation do you want?" Offers upgrade from other version of windows and
custom install. No os is installed, so I click custom.
- "Where do you want to install?" No drivers found
- Click Load Drivers
- Says to insert device driver for my drive and click ok.
- Only have one disk drive, so I would have to eject Win 8 install disk. Do it since theres
no other option available.
- Inserted ssd driver disc and clicked ok as instructed.
- "No signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct
drivers, and then click OK"
- Its the correct disc, and the one provided with the Samsung ssd.
- I've hit a dead end.
- Go back to main install screen
- Click reset pc
- "Unable to reset your PC. A required drive partition is missing."
- Reboot PC with Samsung ssd disc in drive
- "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a
key" ...
