Sorry for the delayed response. I had quite a time with this yesterday. After trying the steps you so thoughtfully gave, I was still being prompted to log in as Other User. After struggling with it for a while, I decided to do a Reset and it finally got rid of whatever extraneous files were...
Well friends, it isn't going as smoothly as I would have hoped. My Toshiba laptop has a proprietary app, HWSETUP, that controls the boot order. I wrestled with this when I installed Win8 RP. I was changing the boot order in the BIOS and not getting anywhere. Googling helped me uncover the app...
Thank you both for the responses. I would *love* to assume that the Install will "see" the RC installation and just replace it. That would be golden! I was thinking I would need to format the partition, change the boot sequence, boot from the DVD and do the dual-boot set up. I've googled quite...
Would it be possible to compile a list of steps for dual-booting into Win8 and Win7? It would be amazing if the approach could be tailored for those of us who installed the Preview editions in dual-boot. :) Someone? Anyone? There might be a batch of cookies in it for you. ;) Laura...
Very helpful - thank you! Is it safe to assume that I should proceed using the same method that I used for the dual-boot with Win7 and Win8 RC? IOW, just pretend that I never installed Win8 RC - format the partition that I created for RC and use it to dual-boot into Win8 Builder and Win7 Home...
You are so helpful - thanks again! I'm a tech editor, so I need to be able to access the 2013 apps, but my copy of Win8RC is about to blow up on me. I need to nail this down today if possible. I think what I'm hearing is that I can't save the 2013 unless I do triple-boot and that I should...
Hmm, okay this is a super dense question - is there any way to preserve that Office 2013 install? Can I back it off to DVD or USB so I can reinstall it? Can I keep dual boot with the Win8 retail? Thanks so much for the quick response. :)
I have Win8 RC on my system, set up as dual boot with Win7 Home Preview. I want to keep the dual-boot and the 2013 apps I have installed. I've been reading for hours but can't seem to find a definitive answer - will the Win8 retail copy ($95) install over the RC, without wiping everything...
