My Thanks to Brink and fdegrove for the clarifications - I do not understand the subtleties of booting via UEFI / Legacy and, as a simple user, I am not sure I should have to know or worry about...
Umm. If that is the case, not sure what happened when I did this then, but I have managed to get round the problem as follows:
After setting my Bios to legacy boot I was able to boot from the USB...
Thanks to NavyLCDR and Spapakons for the suggestions. After playing around with the BIOS for a while I found an option to set legacy boot as 1st boot option which allowed me to boot from the flash...
Following advice on another thread I attempted a clean install of Windows 10 as my HDD had become fragmented with numerous spurious partitions that were eating up space unnecessarily. The process...
I desperately need help! I started the clean install from a USB recovery drive as recommended and deleted all the unwanted partitions leaving a single us allocated disk space. Windows then created...
I really appreciate the support given to try and resolve my HDD issues, but I am struggling: I have a USB boot disk for my current Win10 version 10240, but when I do a search of for BOOT.WIM the file...
I was advised in one of the posts to my HDD issues to use Macrium Reflect free v6 - which is what I installed for home use. I can't see anything in the options supported by this version that says...
I'm afraid I fell at the first fence: tried making an image of my HDD to my NAS with Macrium Reflect, but the program does not recognize my NAS shares. I set up Network Logon under the tools button...
Apologies for what are probably stupid questions, but if I make an image of the entire disk, when I copy this back to the hard disk won't it simply recreate all the partitions and associated data I...
My thanks to Word Man and NavyLCDR for your suggestions.
I will 'bite the bullet' and do a clean install as suggested, but can't spare the time until next weekend - will let you know the...
It would appear that this is the route I may have to take. However, I rolled back my Win 10 a couple of days ago to Build 10240 after the April Patch Tuesday installed Build 1511 that completely...
The Reagentc /info data shows the recovery image location to be partition 8 which in my post to NavyLCDR is the 24 GB PVR_DRV. I presume therefore that I can delete partitions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6...
Had look at the partitions using Partition Wizard Free. I could see the data in all of the partitions, with the exception of the partition sitting between my C; and D: drives which show 0 bytes of...
Thanks for the suggestion - I ran reagentc / info as administrator. A command line screen opens and after a few minutes a bunch of text is written, but the command line screen immediately closes, so...
I have a similar issue - the hard disk of my Win 8 Lenovo desktop was originally divided between a C:\, and D:\ drive and the OEM recovery drive (1000 MB). Since upgrading to Windows 10 the HD now...
Thanks for the feedback - it appears that my issues where part of a long list of problems caused by Microsoft's April updates KB3147461 and KB3147458 (see: MS forum). I solved the problem by using...
I have also had major updates over the past couple of days that have made undesired changes to the way my PC works: Cumulative update to Windows 10 1511 x64 (home edition) - KB3140741 and KB3147458...
Initially when I upgraded to Win10, my DVD drive was not listed under the Device Manager. As suggested on this site I added the line:
reg.exe add...
