How to install Windows 8

Click here to Step 1

Step 11 

You will notice that you have 3 partitions. Partition 1 is system reserved. Leave this partition alone. Partition 2 is 30 GB primary partition that was created in the last step. 

The third partition is unallocated which means it is not being used. You can however format it and use it as a second storage drive.

This can be done after windows installation is finished so I will leave it for now.

Choose partition 2 (Primary Partition). This is where I will install Windows 8. Click next to continue.
