You can actually get Droid Eris tether usb drivers on Windows 8 to work by turning off driver signing. Once you are in Windows 8 after disabeling the driver signing, the driver goes right in for the usb connectivity. Just use your type of installer for PdaNet x86 or x64, and PdaNet puts the correct drivers in for the ADB conflict in device manager.
1. From windows 8 control panel choose General –> Under “Advanced Startup” –> Restart now.
Now the system will restart and might take some minutes to show up the boot menu. Wait for It patiently.
