    Good day

     

    1. What error message are you getting?

    2. Try installing while the  SATA mode is set to AHCI or IDE.

     

    Regards,

    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/6155#M1645
    solves the problem. 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 had this same problem too on my V5 431P. I did manage to install Windows 8, by downloading the Atheros Wifi driver and adding this to the Windows 8 installation. For details on this, visit: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-system/windows-8-clean-install-error-0xc0000001-on-a-new/f1430e1d-9ef3-4b17-aadd-79bc65365b05

     

    Now Windows 8 runs just fine, except for one thing: the vga driver doesn't work. I run into this problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JOIdAK4kS4. Does anybody have a solution to this?
