Hi All,
I've just signed up to this Forum as I have downloaded and created a Windows 8.1 Enterprise DVD. My current OS is W7 Ultimate and I have Ubuntu installed on a separate partition, I wish to install W8 onto the Ubuntu partition. If I boot the DVD from W7 I have no options to choose a partition for the install. Booting from start up also gives me no option other than to replace W7.
Is there any way I can install this copy of Windows 8.1 onto the partition that does not hold my current Windows 7 install? Obviously I want to evaluate Windows 8.1 before buying it to replace W7 and I wish to have the option to boot from either, as I currently do between W7 and Ubuntu.
