[QUOTE="PityOnU, post: 4715611, member: 309097"] Sorry for the delay - not subscribed to this thread. I don't think this is possible as Chrome OS formats the drive using GPT, but when booting from an unverified OS you are using a BIOS, which requires an MBR drive. You need to completely wipe the drive to change its type like that. However - I have read that a Linux distro out there (possibly Ubuntu) can be installed alongside Chrome OS, so if you could figure out how it is manipulating the partitions on the dirve to be able to do that you can repeat it in Windows. (Please post back here if you try, for other people in the future.) I haven't tried it, but here's another idea: If Windows 8 can detect the SD card slot when installed (never checked myself as I never had a card handy), then that means it includes the drivers by default. That means you could *potentially* use the installer to install Windows 8 directly onto the SD card instead of having Windows to Go. This would also require the BIOS to support booting from SD, though, so it's hit or miss. Can you install Windows 8 on a USB drive in the default manner? I have no clue as I've never tried it. Chrome OS is still a pretty bug work in progress, so your issues don't really surprise me. Haven't experienced that myself, though. I think trying a hack of a hack is making life very difficult for yourself. Cool idea, though. Let us know if you try it! [/QUOTE]
