ISO corruption , very annoying.

You have been very helpful, it's not you at all . I get extremely frustrated with myself for not understanding this stuff, i got so disgusted i decided to start over and refresh Win 10 again before i saw your latest post.

Well , what a nightmare that was , when i have done it in the past no problems but not this time . After nearly an hour Microsoft informed me i had an error and just kept shutting down and restarting in a never ending loop , the error message was "no bootable device" found .

Big trouble , only thing that saved me was a Win 7 repair disk and a Win 7 image i burned before attempting Win 10. I had Win 7 back in no time , i am in the process of downloading Win 10 again using the "media creation tool" and i am hoping this time for a trouble free , corruption free version.

Will keep you all informed , if this new one starts to give me crap i'm heaving my whole system out the window and am going to take up bowling instead.

Too much aggravation lol.

Win 10 downloaded OK and said verified and was about to install and then all of a sudden a popup shows and says (something went wrong) thats all it said .

Where would i find that file , i don't see it anywhere ?

I'm glad you didn't say take up golf - I understand that can be a very frustrating game.

Ok, you have a fresh download and you put it on a DVD?
You were booted to Windows 7 and you ran setup on the Win10 DVD?

I'd like to see you Disk Management again.
Download this zip file (contains dmDskmgr-vd.mmc)

dmDskmgr-vd.zip

Extract the mmc file (dbl click the zip to open, then extract all)
then dbl click the decompressed mmc file to run it
You'll get an output similar to this:

Press Alt+PrtScn to grab a snapshot of just that window
Open Paint and Ctrl+V to paste it, then save the image
Attach the image to a new post.

Thanks,

Bill

I already challenged my machine to an all out brawl to the death using prehistoric weaponry , it hasn't responded yet but one of us must die . Will update everyone unless machine wins of course.

When i refreshed Windows 10 it got to 99% refreshed but stopped at 99% and then developed into a nonstop loop that said no boot device detected. All signs of Win 10 were gone .

I had to use a Win 7 repair disk to boot and used a Win 7 image to get Win 7 back up and running . I then attempted to download Win 10 using the "media creation tool" .





I got a message saying (something went wrong) just as my Win 10 download was about to install (no joke) , that is all it said . It was a brand new download using the media creation tool , after i got that unhelpful message i didn't know what to do .

I saw that Windows update was again prompting me to install Win 10 again so thats what i am currently waiting on to finish , i will let you know how that goes , it's on 50%.

I already updated to Win 10 this way the first time but when i got back to Win 7 it's letting me do it again.

I'd still like to see the disk management screen I asked about in post # 43.

In addition, between frames (bowling reference) could you also post a screen shot of your C: drive?
Before grabbing the screen,
Navigate to C:
press the blue FILE menu on File Explorer
select Change folder and search options

press the View tab
select Show hidden files

press the [ OK ] button

Then grab the screen shot - I'm looking for any hidden folders that begin with $ or ~$

Thanks

Good luck in battle ... machines are not very smart, I'm certain you will be victorious.

I was critically injured in battle , machine won but decided to spare my life , how thoughtful , was in the hospital in a full body cast so sorry for the late response , here's a pic .

I hate that message! No kidding something went wrong - thanks Windows 10 for the detailed information

Tell me about it, that has got to be the most useless message ever , very reassuring , what a joke.

I wondered how the battle was faring
Glad to hear you were spared and have recovered.

So where does the project stand now ... your here's a pic did not come through.

I'll look at the other images and see what I see.
