So I've upgraded to Windows 8 Pro from Windows 7 Home Premium using the £24.99 download.
I was using it for a while and all was working ok until it decided I needed to restart as some Windows updates needed installing. Now the system will not boot. I get to the Windows logo and the spinning dots and then it flashes the unhappy smiley blue screen and reboots.
I got into the 'advanced startup options' and managed to disable the 'automatic restart on error' and the error says 'INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE'.
Safe mode isn't working either.
I've had a quick look on google and some people are getting this error when AHCI is enabled in the BIOS?
I have had this option enabled since Windows 7 was installed, I've tried changing it to IDE mode but it still isn't booting.
Anyone else had this problem?
