bruinator Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Installing windows 8 on a pc. It installs windows fine. When it goes to getting devices ready it gets to 65% ready, waits about 10 mins, reboots, comes back up to a black screen that just sits there and not do anything.I have been having troubles with my dvd drive. Having to push open button a few times before it opens maybe 4 x before it opens. Could that be causing this issue or would it be something else?thxEdit: unplugged power to dvd and still have the issue. Any ideas guys?

iih1 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Sometime this is due to your bad hard drive disk, scan your disk for errors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Create a bootable USB using rufus in a clean machine Go to BIOS of the machine to be installed and change the boot order for USB FDD Insert the bootable USB that you have created using rufus and try to instal If fails, check your HDD for errors with HDD Regenerator and fix them Now try to instal If fails, Other PC components may faulty. In this case visit servicing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
