dual boot preinstalled windows 8 laptop with windows 7
- by sarathi
I am having a hard disk in gpt partition style and Windows 8 is pre-installed in uefi mode.
While trying to dual boot using usb bootable disk(using rufus,gpt partition style,fat32),it displays "Windows is loading files", then while displaying "Starting Windows" it hangs.
So, I tried to install it inside Windows using setup.exe. Everything was running fine, but when it gets self restarted again, it got stuck at "Starting Windows".
When restarted in Windows 8, it showed a htm file stating that "Windows cannot be installed on a computer using battery power. If the battery runs out of power during the installation, you might lose data. To continue the installation, plug in the computer's power adapter."
I am sure that power adapter is connected.
I Googled a lot on this, but I didn't get solution.
