Need help trying to dual boot win7 /win8 separate HHD's
Thx for all your help earlier with telling me to load OS separately with 1 hdd disconnected.
My #1 HD is working fine and has Win7 HP on it.
MY #2 HD is where the problem is when i go to Install Win 8 Pro with a retail (upgrade) disk
History of #2 hd
This HD can from a older HP system that I had that originally had Vista on(its a WD 640g drive)
I upgraded it to Win 7 pro
my bios does see this drive
I can load the Win 8 disk and get to command prompt :
Using diskpart my disk looks like this:
list disk
status size Free dyn gpt
* Disk 0 online 596 2048kb
Disk 1 no media 0b 0b
Disk 2 no media 0b 0b
Disk 3 no media 0b 0b
Disk 4 no media 0b 0b
Disk 5 no media 0b 0b
