Posted November 21, 201212 yr FPCH Admin i have 4 hardrives in my P.C. all with independant win 7 or vista OS accessible by using the boot menu at startup . I decided to put win 8 on a spare hardrive and connect it up . win 8 works fine, i can see the other drives eventually and with a bit of luck move files around but it isnt as easy to as win 7 however the big problem occurs when i want to go back to a win 7 or vista drive as each time they startup they go into the check disk routine , which takes ages as it always finds faults on the win 8 drive, if i let it correct these issues win 8 starts to start up but hangs and there is no picture or anything on the screens. strangely enough if you leave it alone it will go into sleep mode but still no picture. I have now had to re-install win 8 3 times and have resigned myself to either making a win 8 p.c. or manually disconnecting the drive cables inside the p.c. each time i use win 8 not a good solution.
