Ok, I am awear of this.

But one thing. I suppose the code reagentc /enable comes after leaving diskpart, so still in command prompt, and before re-installing windows after 'next' pressed. (As...

As it says in the title diskpart was used for set id.

Of course this required also creating the EFI and C: (These are fine).

The partition type is 'basic data' as it could not be changed to the...

Hiya,

I have erased a hard disc and re-partitioned it. This is for UEFI and GPT along with a new installation of Windows 10 Pro - the most current version.

I created all of the partitions...

The factory recovery option sounds good. I will see if the file exists on my current set up, and if it is possible from BIOS - but this is unlikely as the BIOS options are rather basic.

Running...

As I did mentioned WinRe does supersedes the OEM recovery. But I am more curious than anything to know the possibility of the diskpart script for the OEM and it's only an option. Sure it is now out...

Thanks both of you. I knew a clean installation was on the horizon. Just trying some last minute options, as I made some minor changes elsewhere.

I had already used chkdsk on the HD before you got...

I knew I had to use bcdboot ... from the start; before post 2. But in expecting issues with this due to other problems with the pc. I was checking the entries, along with looking for the omissions,...

Hi Megahertz,

Thanks for these. However I am aware of all of them; you know of good links - best source but not comprehensive.

Others, please consult first post.

Hi There,

How's it going?

Due to some corruption I have to create a new BCD file, that is along with installing a new boot folder on the windows-boot partition. (My set up uses MBR).

I know...

Hiya,

I am going to install clover bootloader whilst clean installing windows 10 for BIOS UEFI (but the BIOS UEFI are 32-Bit). So after I have set up the partitions (shift + F10 before installing...

Yes, the pc is using UEFI as said last time too.

And, it is not a Samsung, as said before.

I did have the 64-Bit MBR combination for a while, an intermediate stage.

But I also want to use UEFI and GPT. (As this gives me a chance to test this out for one thing, it is more secure, more...

Restore not needed.

The problem is so far windows has not automatically set up the partitions. Perhaps this links to the 32-Bit BIOS/UEFI?

Thanks. I have tried all of this. This is what the previous posts are about. And it is not possible for this particular configuration and the 64-Bit version of Windows 10 without the BIOS/UEFI being...

Got my other pc working, but not exactly as I first wanted. (More - well the same - partition information would have not helped with this.

Tried a few things at first.

1) MBR2GPT

i-...

Sounds interesting. But will Macrium work in this scenario as UEFI setup is not specified? The BCD problems must be this. Bcdboot has been added to the EFI partition, but this change cannot be...

Where is all this heading too, let me know? The DisParInfo.bat repeats all done before.

MBR2GPT worked for (1) converting to GPT, (2) partitioning but not for the (3) BCDBoot. I have tried to do...

Seeing the computer cannot shutdown, and only restarts. All I see is the normal desktop etc. Everything works fine. Even diskpart sees the new system partition, the conversion to GPT. But, .... if I...

Hsehestedt,

Talking about the older BIOS now. It made no difference with NTFS, Fat32 or even DOS. It would not boot off any external media.

However, I do like your dual system approach. Both...

Bree and Hsehestedt,

Previously (older BIODS) a UEFI boot off external media was impossible. Now (updated BIOS) it only boot in BIOS. For UEFI now need to setup that fourth system partition.
...

NavyLCDR,

Does this method only convert MBR to GPT? Diskpart does this anyway.

If it is only converting, then a new partition (system) still needs to be created as well as bcdboot copied to...

Berton,

I agree but it did not. (This may be due to this. Under UEFI it was not possible to boot from any external media as not recognised. So once BIOS updated I had to use legacy mode to...

Hi to all,

I have to reconfigure my hard disc to allow for UEFI booting after a clean installation. Is this all I have to do:

1) Convert MBR to GPT.

2) Add another partition, System as...

Ghot

Thanks for the Samsung contact information. (I am aware). But it is no use getting them involved, well at least at this stage.

(1) Their troubleshooting assistance is somewhat diminished...

Great. Thanks worth a check.

Ghot you got it, bang on target.

Berton, not possible via USB yet due to legacy etc. Hence the BIOS update.

Many thanks.
