I installed Windows 8 to the secondary slave. Lots of problems, but I finally got everything working. I have a XP on a primary master. While booting the computer, I choose from the bios boot menu which operating system to boot to. I upgraded the XP to

the Eight, used Clonezilla to clone disk etc. etc. I have done updates to the Eight. For example the first update after upgrade, the huge update, it went almost with no problems.But today the Windows 8 update broke the both hard drives! I believe the update wrote to the primary master (there is the XP). Fortunately I have a fresh clone of the XP & Eight made with Clonezilla.Does the Eight think that it is the only System on Universe? Did the Eight write to the XP drive?
