So F8 during boot doesn't offer a menu to choose safe mode. And as I noted above, choosing any option (including #6 'Safe Mode Command Prompt') from the menu of 9 Startup Settings which now presents...

axe0 there is only 1 HDD - disk 0 under 'list disk', partitioned as listed above. My usb shows as disk1. That's it.

Ok axe0, I backed up the registry hives (to H:\regsave) before overwriting them with the ones I found in …config\regback. As you can see, both that directory and the files were created on Feb 1 at...

dont know how to delete this duplicate post........?

So I was surprised to find the mixed memory, and I understand your concerns axe0. At one stage I transferred a matching pair of 2Gb sticks from my computer just to see if it made any difference, but...

Been a busy few days... but, as I suspected, the tests reveal no hardware issues.

Hi everyone. My partner's Win10 Pro PC presented with INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE error last week. No idea what brought it on, although I note that recent January updates have affected other TenForums...

So easy! Thanks axe0.

But its thrown up one thing. I...

Hi Guys,

I have yet another Win10 BSOD problem.
Haven't previously had any success with getting up and running with all my apps and settings intact.
Have had to completely reinstall Win10 three...

So now I can get on with the business, and hope to successfully follow Brink's Clean Install...

Thanks for the MSDN link, Superfly. It's the same one I followed before, and when I click on the 'Win10 1511 FeaturesOnDemand' file, I can't get the checksum details without logging in to an account...

Hi folks. Today I downloaded the Techbench ISO, and, after numerous restarts, I finally have Win10_1511_1_EnglishInternational_x64.iso successfully saved. Before I burn a dvd I'd like to verify it,...

Thanks for the reply NH. My Win8 Pro discs do have a product key. They are NFR discs I received direct from MS, after I had been dicked around by a suspected software pirate. ("DVD NFR DSCHLDR", ...

Thanks, Brink, for another great tutorial. I knew that if I didn't respond hastily to the insistent Win10 upgrade reminders that someone would discover a way to achieve a totally clean install. But I...
