I take it that by being in Windows 10 Environment I need to be in Win10 somehow. According to diskpart the only partition on the HD is an "x" which I think is the RE. I can do a DIR from an Admin command prompt window which is as close as I can get to accessing the HD. except when I boot off the flash drive I get a dual boot screen with the only option being Windows 10. When I click that it goes to the "attempting repairs" loop. I also get the F8 option which again goes to the "attempting repairs" loop.
I've also tried my Recovery Disks but their Win 8.1. That didn't help.
Don't have that capability.
When I burnt the ISO file to USB how big should the program take?
The article recommended a 32GB or larger Flash Drive, it only used a bit over 4.
Also I tried the 64 version, perhaps I should use 32?
The ISO is about 3-4GB large.
Using 32b brings limits with it, it would be better to use the 64b version.
How big would it be when extracted to the USB?
Opinion, do you think an original OEM Win10 CD/DVD have the capability of fixing this situation?
That depends on how you're planning on using it, there are some possibilities you could do with it although such is mostly used for a clean reinstall of the OS, but yeah it may solve the problem.
