Yeah, I know-- old thread, however...

If you just want to stop a bad driver from reinstalling, especially on an older machine, just go into system properties>hardware tab>Device Installation...

How do you then boot to it?

Also, why are you having Windows place those two folders onto the USB when you're going to overwrite them with the ones from the Surface image?

Does something else...

Well, I've tried that + everything else I could find here at TenForums and elsewhere. Always returns an error of some form or another.

From the sheer numbers of people who run into this, I see...

As I stated, I've done this using the drive letters required and it reports no issues. Chkdsk, the same. I ran Memtest too and no issues.

Is there a way to wipe the system reserved and replace...

Attached.
Looks the same as the first one. I realized that it's looking for klelam.sys in the 508mb recovery partition (F:, when booted to RE USB). Btw, I ran sfc /scannow (off boot E: & Win C:...

"Hi all, doing this for a friend. I did the initial install a month or so ago and it's been great. A day or so ago, he reports that Windows did an update overnight and ever since, it's stuck in the...

As I said, it's not there. How can it be corrupted if it doesn't exist?

Navigate to C:\windows\system32\drivers and rename the klelam.sys to klelam.sys.bak

There is no file of that name in that location nor could I find it looking through basically every other...

What is the command to do this? I'm not familiar and I have just searched and there's nothing specific (which I find odd). I see lots of other "answers" about bulk rename, folders, iso's, etc, just...

Megahertz: no, not GPT.

FreeBooter: log attached, but doesn't look very helpful.

I run Linux Mint as my everyday. I can copy out the entire SRT folder if that would help? It's only 4mb total.

I'm going to say MBR and likely not UEFI (older Toshiba laptop). How to confirm if it doesn't boot?

*11pm here, and off to bed. I can follow directions if there are particulars you need me to...

Hi all,

Everything works perfectly except two things:

I had to revert to Synaptics 15 to get the scroll to work.

Oh, and that bug intro'd by MS where your screen brightness is F'ed. The slider will...

I generally try to backup what's on the original drive, if possible, but this time I was going 32 to 64 bit, so they weren't right. Add to that Sony dumped a whole lot of drivers (& I cannot find...

Okay, we're back in business-- they replaced the Evo for a Sandisk & I tried the DSIM installation just to have a go. It cuts down on some steps- but I had quite a few more "windows/prompts" to go...

I wasn't impatient, I waited 5 days before giving up, & the owner needed a working computer. I thanked lx07 for their input & thanked you all, as well.

In looking online, there are quite a few...

I kind of expected a "few" Win 10 hardware gurus" here....Still no answer. I'll try elsewhere. Oh well, thanks anyway. :)

No-go. When I swapped the 860 drive back into the Vaio, it just hangs at the circle of dots. I booted install media & tried all of the bootrec cmd's + sfc/chkdsk....Next, I used Macrium to do another...

So, the Sandisk runs in the Vaio perfectly. I cloned to the 860 & it booted, but slowly. I installed the Samsung Magician software and it couldn't initialize a few of the drive optimizers. I noticed...

Okay, the 120GB Sandisk installed fine, it's about to boot to the desktop for the first time.

I wonder if it's something to do with the Samsung controller or (maybe) the V-Nand? I have no idea,...

Yeah, I tried that, too-- just a while ago. I found that while I could go through the entire install & have it run on my laptop, if I did the old switch-a-roo at restart, it just came back with "no...

Here's an easy thing to try: create another admin-user account. See if you still have the problems there. If so, you know it's system wide. If not, you can delete your current profile opting to keep...

EDIT:

I just tossed the Evo into my own laptop and used the USB media I'd created & it installed without issue--- so I KNOW they are good.
I meant to say that the Vaio doesn't...
