    If this doesn't work and I upgrade to pro, would I then be able to downgrade to windows 7 and dual boot both 8 pro and 7 pro?
    You've lost me. What is this backup plan you're proposing?

    We don't accept failed installs as some mystery of the universe. We have never had an install fail to complete where the user worked with us in tens of thousands we've helped with here.

    This is the forums where most of the fixes and workarounds for WIn7 were developed. MS Forums haven't even caught up with most of them.

    Oh my friend I don't plan on this failing I just want to know if that is possible or if plan B is an option, unfortunately I have 2 day until I leave for vacation and I wanted windows 7 on here before then and I have been messing with this since yesterday.

    What is happening when you boot the flash stick now?

    Now I am getting a new error:

    file:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD
    status: 0xc000000d

    So you downloaded a new ISO for your version, moved the file as shown in Option 2 Step 11 in UEFI Bootable USB Flash Drive - Create in Windows?

    Double check that the file now appears exactly as Saltgrass says in this link i provided. This is what hung me up on a 64 bit Win7 UEFI install with similar errors.

    Yes I redone the process again to be sure I done it correctly but no dice. It has to be something small that I am missing.

    It looks correct to me. I'll ask SIW2 and Theog to look at this.
