duel boot on Acer fail
Hi guys,
I was reading How to get Acer laptop to boot from CD? and seemed to be making progress, but unfortunately the discussion fell flat and my problem persists.
I recently purchased an Acer Aspire V5 Touch which came pre-installed with Windows 8 Single Language. Unfortunately I need this Laptop to run Windows 7 Professional for work. In the past I have played around with Duel booting on my Desktop, however this Acer is proving to be quite a challenge. Thus far I have managed to create a new Volume using the disk management application in Windows 8. I have also managed to set the first boot device in the (F2) bios to the CD/DVD rom by configuring it in the Boot tab as first boot device. Now in theory the Laptop should boot from the Disk while restarting, which doesn't happen.
I have also spammed F12 trying to access the boot menu, to no avail. Every-time the the laptop just boots straight into the log screen.
The ideal would be where I would have Windows 8 and Windows 7 duel boot when booting the laptop.
Please assist
