unable to install Win8 from image given in downloads

[tukull]

The operation is not supported on removable media. <— USB2 is intented for external hard drive/ portable hard drive only. (warning all data on your portable drive will be erased) so please make backup first.

 

you will need a USB hub with AC power to provide enough juice for the external hdd.

take caution, when i installed fresh windows 8, the diskpart accidentally remove my android partitions, i don’t know how it happened.

now my android is gone, but i can live with it, more space for windows, 16GB free !

Hi,

 

Thanks for  that feedback. I can find a free external drive but I don’t want to lose Android partition. How can I keep it and restore Win8.1 ?

In fact, I have an Acronis backup of my Windows partition. But I can’t boot Android rescue media. How can I ?

ok.  problem solved.

1. I’ve installed Acronis 2014 and Media add-on.
2. Then I installed Windows ADK
3. Created WinPE files from ADK.
4. Then I used the Acronis 2014 Win PE ISO Builder to create a 32bit Acronis rescue media (ISO file)
5. created the USB rescue disk with Rufus app.
6. With this rescue disk I am able to recover my disk to the position before I installed Win10. (even the recovery partition)

can you please tell me more, i mean the details?

i’m eager to flash windows 8.1 again to this tablet. i’m done with windows 10, too much cpu resources wasted and buggy wifi.

 

thanks.
