Edit: Yup. I'd doubt that the MS basic video driver would even attempt to run on hardware that old. Uh, what are you guys talking about? Windows 7 will drop down to Aero Basic, and Windows 8 will either drop to Aero Basic or run Aero using software rendering. Like I said, Windows 7 is already running happily on the machine with the old Windows XP video driver and Aero disabled.

Windows 8 can do one better since it includes a basic display driver that can run Aero Glass in software. The video card isn't the issue here, and in reality, is actually less-relevant to Windows 8 than it was to Windows 7.

Edit: Also, the fact that I can see the full-resolution x Windows 8 animated boot graphic means that it has already successfully loaded and is currently using the generic Microsoft VGA driver for output. Something else is stalling the boot process Last edited: Mar 8, Are you trying to install it on the main partition?

This might help you , i've tried to make more than 1 partition on my pavillion dv5 and even tho i got 90 gig free doesn't let me shrink and make a third one.

Most likely it's a partition or boot issue. Joined Feb 19, Messages 18, This issue could be if the touch screen has an internal USB connection. Also the trackpad may be on the USB Try unhooking the trackpad and try the installation again.
