Fresh build. Trying a clean install of windows 8.1 from store-purchased DVD onto a Samsung EVO ssd. I have a Pioneer BDC207 blu-ray drive.
My problem is I can't always get it to boot from the DVD drive. Sometimes in the BIOS it will list the DVD drive as "UEFI: Pioneer BDC207" with another avilible drive as "P0: Pioneer BDC207" as well as my Samsung EVO. Sometimes the UEFI version is listed and sometimes it isn't. Even if I havn't changed anything in BIOS. It will not boot if the boot device is the "PO:" version. It will boot from the "UEFI:" version but sometimes that one doesn't show up in the BIOS or the boot selection screen.
If I boot from the "P0:" version, it will give me a message saying "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected boot device and press a key" pressing a key just makes the message reappear.
If I boot with the "EUFI:" version of the DVD drive, it will start up the Windows 8 install process but whenI select begin install I get an error message saying that no device drivers are found.
Hope this makes sense.
