Hi,
I have recently been using Linux mint 14 on my computer but after hours of trying to get used to it I have decided to get windows 8. I bought it from a shop, so it's on a disk not downloaded. But when i try to install it, I choose settings, enter the product key. And then I am given two installation options.
The first is upgrade and it gives me this message;
The computer started using the windows installation media. Remove the installation media and restart your computer so that windows starts normally. Then, insert the installation media and restart the upgrade.
The second is custom and gives me the option of drive 0 partition 1 and drive 0 partition 2. No matter which one I choose, it gives me the message;
Windows cannot be installed on this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as ntfs.
Windows cannot be installed on this hard disk space. The partition is of an unrecognized type.
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to convert my hard drive to ntfs format? If so, how?
