stuck Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I have been trying to follow this guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293574-beginners-guide-to-uefi-tripledual-boot-os-x-windows-and-linux-kali-on-an-single-true-gpt-ssd/ to get a dual boot Mav/W8 installed with clover on my S3-391. The Mav and clover install was no problem. But when I go to install W8 (I'm using a W8 Core OEM that I could find) it won't let me install. I get the same errors as Frankie on page 2 of that thread, When I use the same method as him (dism method), I can install windows 8 but it keeps on thinking it is the Pro version. I have hashed the iso's that I downloaded and they match the Core OEM versions that I find on the web everywhere. So now I'm stuck with not being able to install a W8-core that I can activate using the key in the bios. Can someone help point me in the right direction. I too am pulling my hair out one at a time, very sloooowly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuck Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Any help? to summarize, I have verified my ISO is legit from Microsoft, this is the one I am using (although named different, hash matches):File Name: en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440.isoLanguages: EnglishSHA1: 1CE53AD5F60419CF04A715CF3233F247E48BEEC4All of the multiboot guides I have found don't work as stated in those guies. (eg.This one, or this other one)The install recognizes the bios key and I don't need to enter the key. But I always get errors like "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one..." or if I create new partitions in DISKPART, then try to install using the GUI installer, I'll get 0xc000005 when the installer tries to copy files.Then I try to use the DISM Method to install W8 but it always thinks it is a pro version, and my bios key is the core version.

Titokhan Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 You need to specify the proper index when using DISM method Instead of this: dism /apply-image /imagefile:D:\sources\install.wim /index:1 /applydir:C:\ You need to use this: dism /apply-image /imagefile:D:\sources\install.wim /index:2 /applydir:C:\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
