True, but I wasn't talking about a BIOS install.  I could have done a legacy
install, but I wanted to keep Windows 8, which meant keeping the GPT partition
layout instead of a DOS layout, which means no standard install.

Only reason I'm keeping Win8 is...well, you never know when something could
come in handy down the road, and why trash something that expensive? :P
