Hi!
I am requesting help with 'Windows 8 Pro 64 bit', ( 5 weeks) Can i say Windows 8 works fine at the moment.
Windows 8 64-bit, i7, 1 TB hard drive, 8 Gig memory,
I have tried-separately- 2 backup and recover utilities and both have successfully backed - up my hard drive C: to another local external hard drive (2 Terabyte). But both have same problem. Both of the backup and recovery utilities I have tried require a BOOT MEDIA (dvd/ cd) to take over from any future faulty windows 8 Pro and then allow me to access the recovery menus on the boot disk and this will allow me to restore the operating system from the external hard drive back on to drive C: I have tried all that I can think of but to no avail.
Its something to the secure boot sequence that's blocking the boot media from taking over.
Even the Windows 8 Pro boot disk will not function.
I have tried Paragon Hard Drive Manager Suite 12' and 'Acronis True image'. Both are certified Windows 8 compatible.
Please any help will be gratefully received
