Just built my new computer and the BIOS shows everything is recognised. Put Windows 8 OEM in the disc drive and the blue logo comes up. It stays like that for a while then a blue screen flashes quickly (before I took out an old hdd it came up with windows 8 recovery not working). Then after that it resets and tries again.

Any idea what to do?

Pieface · 15th Jan 2013, 22:57

The message that pops up is

Recovery

Your PC needs to be repaired

The operating system couldn't be loaded because a critical system driver is missing or contains errors

File:\windows\system32\drivers\sdbus.sys
Error Code:0xc0000098

GoodBytes · 15th Jan 2013, 23:22

Hmmm... to be sure, you did a clean install, right?

dullonien · 15th Jan 2013, 23:59

Sounds like the hdd you've got in there already has a installation of windows on it, but since the hardware has changed it can't be used.

Are you trying to install a fresh copy of windows? If so, make sure that your optical drive is set as first boot device in the bios and press any key when prompted. Or is the error message coming up when booting from the DVD?

kenco_uk · 16th Jan 2013, 00:03

Do you have an sdcard reader plugged in? Maybe using one of the usb mobo headers? Try unplugging it and see if it'll continue with the install.

Pieface · 16th Jan 2013, 07:20

Trying to install a fresh copy yeah. Should be a brand new SSD. And the optical drive is first boot

sniperdude · 16th Jan 2013, 07:23

remove all other drives you just want the ssd and the cd drive connected

Pieface · 16th Jan 2013, 07:44

That's all that is connected

Pieface · 16th Jan 2013, 08:02

Just had a look at the disc to find 3 scratches all along the disc on it :/. My nail catches on them as well

Is there another way to install it on there using the same Microsoft code? As I don't want to have to wait a week for an RMA

Cozmo87 · 16th Jan 2013, 09:17

hi I been playing around this morring with windows 8 preview. I did a fresh install, same message, I reinstalled it but where you delete that drive you must then make new and then format, not just make now I think, worked for me on second boot. hope it helps

I don't get that far. I get the windows logo without the circle loading thing but then the message comes up. I can't do anything

sniperdude · 16th Jan 2013, 09:48

what version of the disk do you have mate?

aramil · 16th Jan 2013, 09:50

Unplug all the sata cables and drives and then reconnect dvdrom and the drive you want to install to and test again.

Also make sure your ram is seated propperly.

Ok thanks. Ill try that when I finish work and hope lol. I did notice the ssd kept not wanting to connect to the cable so it might be that (I hope)

steveo_mcg · 16th Jan 2013, 10:04

Can you get an *ahem* borrowed copy to install then put your valid licence key in?

Pieface · 16th Jan 2013, 12:29

Nobody I knows has a Windows 8 OEM disc

Pieface · 16th Jan 2013, 17:36

Tried it through a different disk drive and now it flashes up Your computer ran into a problem then restarts over and over again.

I just want to play on my new PC

Any idea whats wrong?

GoodBytes · 16th Jan 2013, 17:47

So it's a new PC!
Try Windows 7.. we need to know if it's something wrong with Windows 8 not liking your computer, or hardware fault.

It seems like the gtx580 didn't want to boot it, so therefore I used the onboard graphics and it worked hallelujah

Thanks for all your help everyone
