Can't install win 8 on ssd with asus g75vw
Took out original hd, put in ssd in slot 0. Install win 8. Reboot, black screen.
Nothing. Attempt to repair via cd, and I get cannot find boot device, missing boot options in bios.
I've installed a least 12 times with no luck. After the first reboot, the win installation is present in recovery command prompt, it just won't boot to it.
I've done th bootrec, bcdedit, etc. even went back to win 7 to "prep" the boot sector. Nothing works with win 8. The win 7 install was perfect.
The win 8 DVD is good, used it yesterday on a diff system (with a diff key - I bought 2 from ms)
so short version, 1st reboot after install black screen, then try repair options, and all fail, with can't boot, no OS, etc.
Help!
