Blank Screen during Windows Installation

During a Windows installation, you might encounter a blank screen if there is a Linux partition present on the hard drive.

Workaround

1. If there is a Linux partition on the hard drive, run the wipedisk utility to erase the primary boot partition before you install Windows.

   The wipedisk utility is available on the Tools and Drivers DVD by accessing the Erase Primary Boot Hard Disk (option 5).

2. Install Windows.
