Those new Disk Part commands worked! Installed flawlessly. Thank you and all who suggested fixes.

Will try Berton's post first and see what happens. If that wipes the HDD clean, then I can do the Win10 DVD install. Thanks.

I'm missing something here. I did those commands after pressing Shift + F10 on the first screen during the installation to get into the Win command line. They are the same commands you posted last...

I followed the steps, booting from the DVD drive that had the Windows 10 program.
I did the disk partition command and then the List Disk.
It showed 0-5 partitions, with Disk 0 online with 931 GB; ...

Thanks for your assistance. BTW, I did mention that I followed the tutorial you listed above. Cheers

Thanks, LCDR. Will try it tomorrow. Have had enough "fun" with...

I can't use an existing license to upgrade as the Win10 on my PC is totally trashed and inaccessible. As I've been saying, I want to do a new, clean install using this DVD:

Hopefully I was able to "intelligently" (LOL) explain what I have so far and my end point objective. Please point out any other critical things based on the above notations.

I want to wipe my HDD and clean-install Win10 (1809) as sole OS. Currently have Win10 and Linux Mint 18.3 as dual boot.

The Win10 partition has been corrupted so I won't be doing a restore or...

Yeah, that might be a good option but I've already ordered a new PC. I built one back in 2000 and it was fun, especially putting what I wanted in it instead of a one-size-fits-all. I'm also busy...

Absolutely. I have a Seagate 1TB drive. Most of it contains images, documents, etc. Will do a full backup before playing with the new PC. I don't do any gaming on my PC nor any heavy calcs or...

Thanks for all the info. It helped me decide and I bit the bullet and ordered a new desktop fully loaded. I'll be doing the Win10 DVD install on the old PC.

The updating issue with Win10 was...

Thanks. A further question, please. I don't know the build of the Win10 DVD that's on the way. When I install it, does Win10 skip builds to install the latest version or have to stair step up to...

Sounds reasonable, but will the SSD play nicely with a legacy Bios and other "outdated" things? I do have 8 GB of RAM, need to update my system specs.

My Win10 got corrupted on an update a couple of years ago. Can't repair it, can't even access it. So I just ordered a Win10 DVD with product key.

The desktop PC is now 8 years old with legacy...

I looked at the 8Forums and it appears to be exactly what I need. Excellent detailed instructions with great visuals (I like pictures! LOL). I plan on doing this today. Thanks for the suggestion! ...

After doing the gparted and rebooting, I still get the BSOD with the message that it's trying to repair Windows, shows the percentage of completion, and when it gets to 100% it says it will restart...

I did the reboot sequence per your suggestion and ran gparted again and here's the image. However, the error messages generated from trying to recover Windows while in the boot menu.

I've got a dual partition HDD, with Win 10 and Linux Mint. Screen shot image below. I'm also not sure which partition Win10 is in, although thinking that it's the large partition. Would appreciate...
