Anyone feel like spotting me .013 BTC to be paid back by this weekend? My LBC transfer took longer than anticipated, and with the market fluctuation overnight I was short just a little of what I need. Don't want to do another bank deposit for 4 bucks in coins if I don't have to. Planning another BTC purchase this weekend, and will pay back this loan off that.

If nobody can swing it, I understand. This is the first time I've ever asked for spare change

I can cover ya, mate.

First off, you must change the boot order in your BIOS settings.  Look up how to access your BIOS from initial boot, then change the order to whatever drive you will be booting tails from(I'm assuming that this is what you're having trouble with).  Once the boot order is changed, and if you're using tails on a USB, then plug the USB into computer and restart it.  Once restarted, go to advanced startup options(Search bios, or advanced startup in the Win 8 search bar).  When in advanced startup menu, select restart/boot from USB(it will say other as  well e.g HD, or CD).   From there you need to select to boot from the Hard Drive. Once you select that, it will reboot your computer and tails should load.  Hope this helps, and that I didn't miss anything.  Booting tails from Win 8 is a ridiculous first procedure.  Message me if you have any problems.

Best of luck.

That was actually a pretty impressive write-up. Only thing is if secure boot is enabled, advanced startup options within Win8 still wont allow for a boot to Tails.

Fluff - What PII? The model number of the computer? Hardly identifiable.

Look up the model number of your laptop. See if it contains a TPM. If it is one of the tablets, I think holding volume up or down plus the power key can clear it. Depends what laptop you are using.

Currently running:

Windows 8

Gateway NE71B

+DOSEO

You bought that brand new?

still happily married to xp

Then good luck with the divorce on April 8th.

What is the community's opinion on the Message time? Do you like it having an exact date/time, or do you prefer the old "1 hour ago", "5 days ago"

The exact time/date is less convenient but tells you exactly when it was sent.. I think I prefer the latter..

Agreed. The latter...The old way was rather unclear.

Go ahead and boot into Windows and open TPM management. Clear the configuration then reboot.
