Hi, if anyone is interested, I can give full instructions on how to install windows 8 with out sighted assistance, and with out using a silly live disk, and also how to create and restore system images as a complete guide, if interested please say so on the list and I'll be happy to help. This is a pretty much fool proof method, and can also be used to install windows 7 and xp multi boot right a long side windows 8. I can also bring back windows mail in windows 8, although some discourage this because you have to use files from windows 7 and vista, but it works flawlessly. We can also get back sapi four voices in windows 8 and the windows 7 sounds and so much more, so if you guys need help, I've been working on this for a while and am ready to share. Thanks: isaac
