![]() ![]() I CAN install Windows 8 from Intel USB 3.0 IF I use the modified drivers pack AND use the /forceunsigned parameter when merging the modified drivers into boot.wim. Let me make the other point again very clearly. I have mentioned this so often to drive home the point that within Windows 7 Intel provides a functional fix but within Windows 8 Intel has elected not to provide the same dedicated coverage. I do not know if you skipped most of my posts but I have said over and over that I need to merge Intel's dedicated Windows 7 USB 3.0 drivers into boot.wim to make them work. If your ports work in Windows 7 then they are different from mine which will not work in Windows 7 without loading the USB 3.0 drivers. ![]() This would be like me telling Ford that my wheels fall off at 65 MPH and them telling me to drive less than 65 MPH. I am sure that I could force my USB 3.0 ports to work as USB 2.0 ports but that is a hack, not a legitimate fix. ![]() You USB ports show to be 3.0/2.0/1.1 compatible. This same problem takes place when I try to install Windows 7 but unlike with windows 7 there are no dedicated drivers to meet this request. I know this because the Windows 8 installer asks for drivers to continue installing. There are universal USB 3.0 drivers in this file but they are not functional in a pre-install environment. I have the latest update, this is unrelated as the issues lies within boot.wim in the standard windows 8 install image. I do not know what it is for (shows GOP), but possibly Windows 8 related. There is a Bios update showing Dec 12, 2012. This works under windows 7 as I can merge Intel's dedicated USB 3.0 drivers into boot.wim. No, I was attempting a clean install from a USB 3.0 flash drive plugged into a USB 3.0 port. Are you using the SSD for any special utilities, like Intel's Rapid Start, or Smart Response? The reason I ask is because my testing seems to show using the Smart Response can make USB speeds appear to be 2.0 speeds. ![]()
