Hi,
I have samsung np370r5e-so5in laptop. My laptop came with Windows 8. When i bought it i don't like windows 8, so i converted my hard disk from GPT to MBR and installed windows 7. Now i want to install windows 8.1 in my laptop, i want to convert my hard disk from MBR to GPT. To do that i have created Hiren Boot CD in USB. The problem is when i boot from my pendrive the hiren boot is showing only 4 options instead of showing the option to boot the mini xp. The following options are displaying for me.
1. find/menu/lst, /boot/grub/menu.lst, /HBCD/menu
2. command line
3. reboot
4. halt
If i click the first option, the following message is displaying. "Minimal BASH-like editing is supported. For lists possible command completions. Anywhere else completions of a device/filename. ESC at any time.
grub>
Moreover, i have secure boot option in BOOT. If i enable secure boot, my system is not booting. It shows another error message "All boot options are tried, press F4 to continue are something like this..... Please tell me how to convert my hard disk from MBR to GPT, and tell me how to enable secure boot.
If it is possible please tell me any location to download OEM Version of Windows 8 because when i try to install new Windows 8 from Microsoft site it says the key is for OEM version and not for retail version. I don't have the original backup image.
Moreover, currently i have installed windows 8.1 in MBR disk, but it takes long time to boot into the OS.
Thanks in advance!
