Wow. Doesn't look like you have any other system type partitions.
Are you running any raid or storage spaces (Windows or other third party)?

i'll give it a try.
BTW, just installed on an identical machine (hardware and windows built from same image). Same problem.

i am not running raid, scsi or anything like that. this is how it has always been configured.

the samsung has a system partition.
Yes it does. I was looking for other disks with system reserved or efi partition or other partitions marked "Active".
Have you you chkdsk against all volumes?
Have you ever booted with just your boot disk?
i've been at this since the 80's. so i am a chkdsk[er]. so yes.

yes. i've physically detached all of the other drives.
Several observations after running windows 10 with 2004 update:
a. my machine boots slowly: ~2 minutes. evidently i am not the only one. there are many, many posts in various forums pointing to the same issue. i am going to live with the update in the hope that this issue will be resolved in the future.
b. once booted the machine runs well without error.
thanks for everyone's help.
new wrinkle.
learned to tolerate 2.5 minute booting.
but after this Tuesday's update to 2004 i can not longer start the computer by tapping a key on my keyboard (after a "shutdown").
i go back to pre-windows to os/2. never had so much trouble with an update (to an update: 2004).
thanks.
