    Which bit version of Windows 8 are you installing?

    Are you using the SSD in a Rapid Start scenario? Since I do not run that, I did see someone that had a hybrid drive and the Hybrid and two partitions, but the 500 G drive seemed to be a complete Windows 7 install. Have you checked into the Intel Rapid Start operation?

    I have been looking around, and it appears HP might be using an mSATA drive for the SSD. If that is correct, I suppose it should install like any other install. If you have it running, you might get us a Disk Management picture with the Snipping Tool and attach using the paperclip on the advanced replies.

    As far as formatting drives, I suppose that would depend on if you have recovery media available after that is done.

    Re: cant install win 8 in HP envy 4-1046TX ..,

    Fascinating thread. I am having a similar on going problem with an i7 Envy.. but, in my case, I have no problem working through the install, but, when it gets to the end and is preparing the OS, it comes up with a message in a black window -:The Computer Restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click OK to restart the computer and then restart the installation".
    There are no other working keys, and pressing enter /restart) will only take me through the procedure again. My partitions are normal, and I am able to install any version of Windows 7 without problems, so it looks a possible hardware driver issue.

    Hi guys,
    same problem here. I think eddy024 found his solution with HP people. Today I've been there and people were really confused. Can you share what you got from HP eddy?

    Re: cant install win 8 in HP envy 4-1046TX ..,

    Have you guys installed the Win8 BIOS from HP? ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58501-59000/
    Not sure which one each of you may need.
    Seems to be the most relevant issue at this point.

    Additionally from an HP employee on another site;

    After installing the Win8 BIOS, go in Win7, go to the Intel Rapid Start and disable Acceleration:


    1. Click Start and type Intel . Click Intel Rapid Storage Technology in the search results.
    2. Click the Accelerate button at the top of the window and click Disable Acceleration .
    3. Click Yes on the Disable Acceleration warning window.
    4. Click Reset to available next to Usage Cache device.
    5. Click Yes when the Reset Cache to Available warning appears.Close IRST window.

    Then, when you boot from USB or DVD, choose the option with UEFI after it.

    Upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8 for HP Envy 17t;

    Hope this helps
