Actually, a good chance windows can just use some generic drivers. Once in Windows, I am sure a windows update could find something, windows 8 is badass at finding stuff.

There is no Usb port in moto Xoom.

Does it have a MicroSD?

I'm interested to get it working on my Xoom, too. Yes it has an microSD slot. There are also OTG cables that you can mount USB sticks.

Guys, the Windows 8 architecture for the images (and RTM that is out now) is for x86 processors only at this time. The Android devices are ARM based. Won't work.

Windows RT is going to support the ARM architecture, but will be a while (maybe never) before the ability to load it on Android hardware will happen.

Sorry if this has been mentioned but, you do realise you can change the title of the thread your self right? go to edit > advanced

If Arm is currently what the devices are using, you'll need to obtain the current MSDN/RTM edition... Otherwise, if you have USB/MicroSD capabilities, you can install Windows to it and normally windows will find generic drivers but if you can get a windows display, that in itself is good news.

figured I'd bump this thread as I have a slate 7 and I'm trying to get the thing to recognize my usb disk drive. Currently I'm having no luck.

I've tried plugging the usb drive directly into the slate as well as into a powered usb hub and nothing seems to make the device see the usb drive.

The hub is good because the usb keyboard I'm using allows me to navigate the bios with the keys and what not but when I go to the boot menu, where it says usb cd drive it just says ":None" and only lists the internal hdd.

this has worked just fine with several other types of tablets but this samsung is the first to simply not recognize the drive at all. Bios settings are all factory default BTW.

Any ideas?

First I recommend you remove the stick from any device and only plugged straight in the stick.

Also, did you create the USB Stick with the Microsoft USB Stick Creator? If not, try it and also let me know what you used previously.
