Hi,

I am trying to install 8.1 from the DVD ISO download into a Hyper-V virtual machine.  Whilst the DVD boots and I can traverse the menus (configure the disk, select the ports etc), the actual installation is failing with a "device not defined or unavailable" error.  The system then reboots automatically.

Booting the disc into the non-ACPI mode seems to get a bit further but then the installer gets to a stage where it appears unable to write data to the disk.


Cheers,
Tim.
