Ok, I see that. When I attempt to dual boot after the first OS creates a GPT partition on a wiped disk, I get on warning upon installing the 2nd one that "Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style." Therefore I choose the MBR type. On this rig anyway.

Any explanation for that or am I doing something wrong?

Not all flavours of Windows can be installed on GPT. Seven can't not sure about Eight.

I'd check to see if there's maybe a newer version out. If not, ask if it really makes that much difference. If not, one less proggie taking resources.

The version I was running was the latest. And the BSOD said the problem was caused by the Samsung Magician Rapid Mode. It has failed to start several times and I would have to rescan it.

Sounds like an AHCI issue. Might want to look here and see if anything pertains.

That's very true, Tony. Which went on first? And second?

Good Morning Josey, your computer is possessed as I've been running Magician for years without any problems. :)

My PC is 8 years old?

I did all that when I installed the 850 EVO some of the problem may be that all of my stuff is SATA II or USB II . When I get back into the RTM, I will recheck it
