You're not kidding!
That's as neat as a neatly made, nicely folded neat thing that smells nice.

It's all there.

Now I really think I will set some sort of regular back-up timer thing. I have...

D'oh!
Nope. I don't even have a drive that small.

1 terabyte I meant to say.

Okay, so I've now made Rescue Media on an 8 gig flash drive, I have a Disk Image on a 1...

I've done it.
Macrium downloaded and installed and my very first backup done and on a 1 gig external hard drive.

And it was easy.

Thank you all for that advice. You guys absolutely rock.

Thanks Caledon, I did.

It took a whole night to reload documents, download programs, input product keys and then to re-customise icons and shortcuts but it's done and I'm happy with it. Then I...

Will definitely do a backup once I've reinstalled various things. :cool: Thanks again!

It's done! I gave it a quick format and applied the change and presto! It now appears in Explorer as a functional E Drive. And it's become primary too.

And there's only the one version of W 10?...

Okay, thanks. I'll give it a try.

Okay, it's Version 1909. OS Build 18363.592

And here's an image of the partitions.

As the title says......my E drive has now vanished and............I think somehow there might actually be three copies of Windows 10 on my computer now.

I'd been having trouble installing it...

That did the trick. Thanks you. You're right.......no prisoners!

The computer, the big desktop which had Windows 10 on it last month is the problem.

All of a sudden, there are partitions and none can be created. I'm probably going to have to buy a new hard...

What do i do when it can't locate an existing partition or create a new one?

I REALLY don't want to give up and stick with Ubuntu!

Fortunately I have a laptop with Windows 8 on it.

I should have used it for the ISO thingy in the first place.

ETA - the USB doesn't seem to work. Can't locate partition or create new one.

I...

I'm trying to download the latest Windows 10 ISO on an Ubuntu-cursed computer (long story) and I have the option to save to file or open with disk image viewer or burner or something.



I've...

Thanks guys. That's great.

I'm only semi-literate with Windows issues.
How do I download the latest ISO from the media creation tool?
Microsoft won't demand money if I reinstall Home Version in this way?

I've decided to return to Windows 10 after almost a month on Ubuntu.

The Windows 10 disk I have was one I bought from the same shop I bought my computer components from when I assembled the...

Thanks. I'll suss that out in the next couple of days. Right now I need to focus on getting some work done so I'll put up with Ubuntu for a few more days.

It turns out that the keyboard was the problem all along.

I bought a new keyboard. It's great. This whole nightmare could have been avoided if I'd just bought the new keyboard in the first place....

Well, this has been an absolute blast!

I tried the refresh windows 10 thingy, lost all my programs and the problem is still there.
Did a clean install and the problem is still there.
Installed...

I thought of an absolutely dandy solution. Purge Windows 1/0 and go back to Windows 7. That way I don 't have to spend any money and I know that Windows 7 works and when I was using it, it never...

The driver troubleshoot thingy alleges that the driver is working.

I tried uninstalling the driver anyway a few days ago with the result that the keyboard didn't work.

So, I turned the...

The thing is, I hadn't used it until yesterday afternoon. Trust me, I'd LOVE THAT to be the problem because then I'd have the problem nailed down, identified and comprehensible.

Once you know...

Thanks guys. I
have already tried all of these things again and again and again and again and again.

Yesterday, using Crap Cleaner seemed to fix it instantly. It was great. Then I went to work,...

For five days now my keyboard keeps on changing to some weird configuration.

apostrophes are transposed, closing parentheses have a slash - eg /)
question marks have a plus - eg +?

and it ' ...

I had a problem where apostrophes would transpose and question marks would have a plus sign in front of them.

It was absolutely doing my head in.

I glanced at something that suggested WINDOWS...
