I'm semi following what was done in that thread as it is similar to what happened to me. Sadly it seems that they never found a solution to fix that posters problem. And yes I do have UEFI BIOS to answer your question
Sorry, not familiar with Linux and this is a Windows forum, not a linux forum. If you are familiar with it good.I decided to use Linux Mint. After mounting it to my Usb I am now copying all my data, making the back up I should have done before hand. But I guess hindsight is 20/20. Anyways I thought I ask is there an easy way of putting back my data, instead of manually placing it back. Like some magical program where if I press a restore button everything will be back where it was before. One can dream right?
Yes I do have UEFI BIOS my motherboard for reference is a asus sabertooth x79
Ah ok sorry. So I downloaded Linux onto my usb and mounted it. I changed my boot settings from my C drive that contains the windows 10 OS to the USB running Linux in order to copy my data from the hard drives onto an external hard drive.o.k., but lost on fact on Linux or Windows 10.
Currently I am copying all of my files onto the external hard drive and waiting for that process to be finished. Once my data is copied onto the external I will do a clean install of windows 10.
Hopefully after that I will be able to place back all my data onto my drives.
Alright, good luck with that process. Make a Windows 10 disc from link for ISO i had shown and burn it to a disk or need software to make a Bootable USB Flash drive if want to use a flash drive to do a clean install of Windows 10.If that process does not work with files, try to get to the advanced options booting from USB or Disc of Windows 10 when you make it. Then follow the link i provided before for this process. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2...dows-10-a.html
Thanks so much jds63!!
I'll keep you updated as to what happens. Crossing my fingers that nothing else goes wrong.
Your Welcome ! Yes, let me know what happens and how it goes, if need more help. If do clean install and if the PC is ASUS can go to that web site and make sure to download all updated system drivers for windows 10 now, making sure to select 32 bit or 64bit system, can also use the motherboard site from ASUS to be able to get updated drivers. Other hardware like Video Card and sound card can be obtained from there websites, as this is important if doing a clean install.
So after doing a clean install and getting all my drivers, my computer is working better than ever. Thank you so much for all your help jds63 I really appreciate it.
