  Probably caused by the EFI/GPT installation of W8. You need to install the WHS2011 Hotfix that fixes this problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2781272/en-us

  Thanks for that info Phil. I had been searching around and had not come across this hotfix. That might fix my issue :)

  Could you confirm if the hotfix is run on the W8 PC or the WHS11?
