Hi i have ACER ASPIRE v5-431 laptop.
i have installed Win 7, ubuntu, xp, vista.
But when i try to install Windows 8, it just doesnt install.
it gives me following error :
*i50.tinypic.com/4t7rxe.jpg
i Tried everything.
i performed a Clean install {deleted all partitions & installed on a new partition}
i even used ACER just UPGRADE ASSISTANT.
But still all in vain
The OS doesnt install.
i tried freaking 15 times just trying to install that OS but still it just doesnt install.
Can anyone pls help me out how can i install this OS ?
are ypu using the final RTM build ( reatil version ) or the upgrade/beta/Rc version ?
You can update but you can't do a clean install from what I have gathered. Win 7 should be installed previously on the machine when you are trying to install win 8.
Checklist :
1. Make sure you have the latest version of Bios.
2. If possible set the HDD/Stat Controller to IDE mode ( instead of AHCI ) in Bios.
3. Remove all USB device(s) from laptop.
THANK U EVERYONE.
i Finally managed to install Win 8 on my Laptop.
i Still dont know what the error was or how the error was created.
i Ran the Setup in wiNdows 7 of windows 8.
Then it asked to keep Everything or nothing, i selected Everything.
& then the process went smoothly.
& finally i have Win 8 running without any error.
i also installed all the drivers of Win8
i Dint require any tool whatsoever to do this.
But i still dont understand few things
After instAlling , when i try to install it once again from BIOS on a new drive it once again gives me the same error.
What is it that is causing this problems, still.
That it can only be fixed by UPGRADING & not by ClEAN install ???
PLS Guyz shed some liGht & help
Its an error related to paging memory. Might be due to incompatible drivers.
Its thrown Generally when IRQL level too high.
yep, some chip of Op's mobo/hardware component is not compatible with windows 8 ( may be win 8 install disc has no necessary driver for this ) and when he chose install win 8 by upgrade instrall process the windows 8 uses the driver of win 7 for that particular hardware component/chip.
one way to perform a clean install may be slipstream all the available motherboard drivers into win 8 install image and make a bootable disc with it..
