I'm doing this on behalf my friend who I'm helping do the dual boot and we have come across errors and messages etcetera such as "the partitions on the disk selected for installation are not in the recommended order GPT" (we clicked OK to proceed) but we finally got windows 7 installed using UEFI mode. However, the problem we're having now is that some kind of Windows 7 lookalike boot loader appears, but it appears in a fancy graphical way such as the white bars at the top and bottom move across the screen slowly and the text comes in at a line at a time. When it does appear it says pick an operating system, but when we try and move using the keyboard is doesn't do anything, so we can't get back into Windows 8 a

BSOD 0x00000124 after installing updated NVidia driver
location:
7forums.com - date:
May 26, 2012
G'day,
I've been experiencing some BSOD's every few hours. I suspect its related to having updated my NVidia card driver to Version 301.42 today. The driver was downloaded directly from the NVidia site after being prompted by the NVidia update utilty that one was available. I use an EVGA NVidia GTX 560 1024MB card.
As an interim measure, I've uninstalled this driver, and let Windows Update find one for me.
Could someone have a look at my DMP file and confirm that this driver was the issue, or whether there is something else going on?
Thanks,
Golden

Ideapad Z570 does not shutdown after installing Windows 8
location:
microsoft.com - date:
March 6, 2013
Hey, I have a Lenovo Z570 laptop and recently installed Windows 8. However, even during installation and after installation the computer does not manage to shut down properly. Though the screen turns bank, the LEDs continue to illuminate and the hard disk
continues to run. I am not sure what the problem is and I have already installed Windows with a clean boot twice. Unchecking the 'Load Windows faster' option does not seem to work. I would appreciate some answers.
Details: The laptop has normal factory settings. (It has been reset and yet the problem persists)

Old dual boot options still available after installing Windows 8 Pro on a desktop Pc running XP, but now tripple options; Windows 8 Pro (On volume 1), Windows 8, Old Windows installation. Anyone who knows how to get rid of the two last options? The only
good thing about it now is that I do not have to put in a password every time I turn on the computer.
