Installing Windows 8 Consumer Preview on Dell Precision M6600
I had some bad experience installing Windows 8 Developer Preview on office machine DELL Precision M6600. To be specfic, it did not work.
With Windows 8 Consumer Preview, I want to give it another chance, so I started by pressing F12 during bootup. Interesting enough, there was 2 option: legacy booting DVD drive, or EFI booting DVD drive. I started with EFI boot, and found that I can't use the 100Gb available space to create the 4th boot parition. So I rebooted the machine and chose legacy booting DVD drive, and got the installation going.
At all the drivers were installed properly, but at least the Windows 8 Consumer Preview is running on that M6600.

Do you have the M6600 with the Multi-Touch display? Just wanted to get an idea of how well the touch screen works on Windows 8.
