Problem after recovery/reset
HI all,
I think I partly created my own original problem by changing the name of the computer.
Shortly after I was no longer an insider, "Get Insider Builds" had a box underneath with
"fix me", and pressing this gave an error 0x80310052.
Some kind of no-mans land, activated, but not in the program.
To cut a long story, I ran recovery/reset. This reinstalled Windows. I wasn't sure what it was going to do,
but it reinstalled from within, I didn't give it any media. When It was done, according to the info bottom right,
it says "evaluation copy build 10525". (Which I think it was before).
According to settings/update and security, I'm an insider again,
no errors that I can see. (although no new build has yet to appear)
The second thing that happened after the "reset" is that my older OS, Windows XP, is no longer accessible
at boot time. Before I did all this, , a screenused to appear where you either
select WIndows 10, or "Older versions of Windows". This screen no longer shows up. Instead there is a grey
screen for about 3 seconds, then it goes straight to the logon screen for windows 10.
Now the only way I can boot XP is to use a floppy and boot from there.
The first thing I thought of was bootrec /rebuildbcd . But that's for older versions of Windows.
Anybody have any idea about this situation? Thanks for any info.
Dave
