    Hello!

    I'm trying to install Windows 8 Consumer Preview on an Acer Aspire 6930G, Dual Core 2GHz, 4GB RAM, 120GB SSD and 320 GB HDD. Updated BIOS in the weekend.

    I have tried installing Windows 8 Consumer Preview for a full week now, but no luck.

    I have tried several different USB sticks and DVD's, I have checked the hash sum on my downloaded ISOs, but it always ends up with the same problem:

    BOOTMGR IMAGE IS CORRUPT.

    I get this error every time I try to boot from a USB or DVD. If I install Windows 8 over my Windows 7, then I get the message after the first reboot after what seems like a successful installation.

    I have even tried to first make a bootable Win 7 USB, then delete the three folders, sources, upgrade and support and copy over the same folders from the Win 8 installation disk. This then boots up, installs Win 8, but still I get the Bootmgr image is corrupt error on first reboot.

    Anybody can help me here? Please, I really want to use Win 8!
