Hi again Prateek -

The error is almost always a bad installer.

Download the ISO again and burn to DVD using ImgBurn at 4x speed.

I used Windows 7 built-in ISO burner for both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 8 CP. Just right click the ISO file and select Burn.

Please don't dual boot a Beta OS. Get yourself a Virtual Machine software program and install Win 8 in that. You will thank me when it is time to remove it.

actually the problem is that i m having 32bit windows8 developers edition iso, so a 32bit windows can be run on a processor of 64bit ????, , or for running 32bit OS the processor should be of 32bit only ,!!!????

i m able to install linux mint of 32bit, but on booting and after selecting linux, nothing appears (black screen remains), ??

so i m confused in 32bit and 64bit OS and their compability with processors of 32bit and 64bit !!!!!!!!!!

You can run 32- or 64-bit on a 64-bit processor.

I've already told you the error is a bad installer. Download another ISO and burn to DVD using ImgBurn at 4x speed.

Thank you, Jan.

I saw that but I have been helping Prateek in several other threads here just now and wanted to continue being helpful. He also specifically asked in his reply to continue being
helped here.

Should I stop helping when OP is referred elsewhere?
