Hi ,

          I also got this problem. Because this model bios for w7 and if we want to install w8 it must me UEFI bios. I tried to upgrade the bios but i can't upgrade.

I can confirm that anisin84's solution described here
http://community.acer.com/t5/Acer-Notebooks-Netbooks/Cannot-Install-windows-8-on-Brand-newAO-725/m-p...
solves the problem. It has nothing to do with the BIOS. The error is caused by an incompatibility of the Atheros Wifi card installed in the affected Acer models with the default driver that comes with Windows 8. Removing the card during install, updating the Atheros W-Lan driver via a download from another computer once Windows 8 is running, then replacing the card and rebooting twice is the fix.

Note, however, that opening your device may void your warranty. Make sure you know what you are doing!

I solve that problem, you have to disable the atheros driver from regedit. Entering cmd mode recovery windows 8. Is the only solution, rather than descaonectar wireless card and warranty void.

If you want my help can contact me: garupumper@hotmail.com

Not very good my English but I do what I can.

Can u tell me how to disable the atheros driver please?

...I already encountered that problem and i successfully solve by loading first the wifi driver before installing...How to load?

In winows 8 intallation there is and option there to load the driver first but be sure that the driver cd is in the CDROM DRIVE and locate those folder where the wifi driver is located and if you don't have installation driver cd just download it from the acer website and put it on a pendrive...

I wish it could help...
