I clicked on unallocated space, files copied and re-booted Ok, Win8 Started FINALLY. Why? THIS TIME the Windows 8 setup process started from the Windows 8 Setup and not within Vista Setup.Īfter ALL the above steps i booted again from within tha Win8 USB Setup and this time partitions were detected and presented. In the next Boot it gave me Boot Configuration Data missing or invalid. I selectet the unallocated space hit enter and Windows 8 copying started. It displayed the HDD ppartitioning info but a message bottom down in status told me that i can only see it and not re-partition it. Inserted Windows 8 USB and then initiated the Windows 8 setup process Rebooted, pressed F8 and selectted "Start in Safe Mode with CMD support" I started the install with Vista Setup for to see the hdd, when i switched usbs from vista => 8 then Vista setup should have been complained about this and not start copying and expanding files giving me the impression that it will manage to install 8. I was so happy that 8 files were copied successfully and expanded to the drive but boot fails. When 5920g get sits 1st restart a BCD error popup mentioning that Boot Configuration Data is invalid or missing. I Remove the Vista USB and i insert the Windows 8 USBĬopy begins and all fiels successfully expanded. When HDD being presented i delete partion and i leve a big unallocated space Problem solved but i'am not sure how this happened.ī) No Intel F6 Sata controller drivers needed to be downloaded. Make sure the ISO you had is the untouched version, compare and verify the ISO checksum, use a proper tool to extract the ISO into the USB disk and. Please consider to doing so and be careful when doing something related to the BIOS.Īnother thing is. Show me where to locate my serial number or SNID on my computer. The advise from MDLs seniors to you are pretty much appropriate. Enter your device serial number, SNID or model number. I just took 10 minutes to setup 8 without a single hiccup.Īs far as I know, 5920G was released in mid 2007 and if the BIOS never been updated before, doing so will makes 5920G not supporting the newest whatever driver or something new inside the 8 setup. BIOS version was released early 2011, that's the most current and I think there will be no more updates after this as that rig is an obsolete piece of hardware.

Click to expand.If Vista setup disk could recognized your hard disk, 8 setup disk should have no problem doing so either and it supposed to be more flexible.Ĭurrently, I'm on an old rig setup (2008), most of the hardware inside my rig only supported up to Vista.
