 +
 +
When you see "Please insert operating system recovery disk 1 into drive Y:, insert:
 +
 +
# Insert the disk labeleled "Windows 8 Recovery media for Windows 8 products (1) disk 1 of 2"
 +
# Press F12 while the machine is booting to bring up the boot menu
 +
# Select "Legacy: MATSHITA DVD-RAM SW830"
 +
 +
The following is the disk order for the recovery process:
 +
 +
# Windows 8 Recovery media for Windows 8 products (1) disk 1 of 2
 +
# Operating System Recovery Disc Windows 8 Pro (OEM Activation 3.0 Required) (2) disk 1 of 2

=== Updates ===
 +
 +
You'll need to run Windows update through several 'update and restart' cycles to get to a point where you can install windows 8.1
 +
 +
# Log into the machine. If you're not at the start screen, press the start key on the keyboard.
 +
# Type 'control panel' and press enter.
 +
# Search the control panel (upper right of the window) for 'windows update'
 +
# On the left hand column, click 'check for updates'
 +
# Sometimes there will be an 'install updates' button, other times you'll need to click on the number of updates found.
 +
# Repeat as many times as needed to finish out all updates
 +
# In the start screen, go to 'store' and click the large banner offering a free upgrade to windows 8.1

== Fixing the ICMPv6 Spam ==
 +
 +
When these machines sleep, they begin to spam the network with ICMPv6 packets. It seems that when 2 or more go to sleep, there is enough spam to disable wifi.
 +
 +
This fix is to install version 19 or later of the Intel Network Driver, available at \\fizzle\san\Intelnetworkdriver\ProW.exe (HEFTODO: get the correct link)
