Disk Is Not Bootable
Jan 29, 2016
I have a folder structure (see below) that is created after upgrade from W7 to W10. In my previous question a day ago it was confirmed that it could be used for creating W10 installation media. So I don't want to repeat how it was created. It was created automatically and it is 3GB in size.
My question: I burned files and folders to DVD using native W10 burn files to disk method. The disk is not bootable. The structure on the root of the disk is exact as in Windows folder on the pic. Did I miss the option for making it bootable? Or it should be bootable just by burning the content to DVD?

I have a configuration where win 10 is installed on SSD but the Users folder is on a dynamic disk on HDD and the linking is made by a hard junction link from C: to D. I have removed paging on D as well as protection. Hence, I am able to remove all volumes of the dynamic disk and convert it back to a basic disk and format it.The problem is that I would like to keep all my installed programs (and settings, preferably). I have copied the Users directory to an external disk and copied them back to D after conversion. This seems to lead to a nonfunctional situation where I cannot even add a new user and most programs (even not all windows tools) do not work.What would be the best approach to avoid reinstalling the programs and to keep existing users?

So, after about 2 weeks of experiencing Windows 10 I've decided to revert back to Windows 8.1, since I was more experienced at it. So I followed every step to downgrade the system, waited for about a few hours, then I noticed that when Windows restarted, it somehow went to an "automatic repair" loop. I've tried literally everything there was so I can get it running again, but nothing seems to work. But, there was only one option, in which I feel like an idiot to try out.
I went to Command Prompt and typed in diskpart.exe, then enter. I then typed in LIST DISK, then SELECT DISK SYSTEM, and finally CLEAN. Since I thought at the time that CLEAN works like resetting the PC, I rebooted it again, and I came to an error message saying: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed.Is, or will there be any other way to start my PC in a condition like this? If I'm missing any other details then feel free to ask.

Since windows 10 has been launched and it has already been downloaded on my PC and installed. I wanted to know how to create a boot-able DVD so that I can also install it later, you know like doing a completely fresh installation and having the windows staying activated. Cuz windows was upgraded to 10 from 8.1 and Microsoft didn't gave me any key, so if I install it again on the same device will it remain activated?

is there any bootable file manager out there because I want to do the following things before installing Windows.
1. Format my C: drive with Windows 7.1
2. Move contents from my F: drive to C:
3. Install Windows 10 of F:
This is basically because F: is my old hard disk and I want to install Windows on it.

Had tried to update the BIOS on my son's Alienware Aurora R4 so that we could install an upgraded graphics card (980 Ti).
Used the Dell Support site - and was upgrading from Bios 7 to Bios 9 - would eventually go up to current version 11 before swapping GPU.
Followed all the steps on the Dell site - but afterwards - it acts like my hard drive has died (doubting this - have fairly new Samsung 512GB SSD as the only hard drive).
Computer boots into Bios now - but says "inaccessible boot device". My son had done the update from Windows 8 that came on the machine to Windows 10 - but apparently did not create a boot disk or USB drive.
Can I create a "generic" bootable USB on another computer - WITHOUT REINSTALLING WINDOWS? I do not want to lose info/settings on his machine if at all possible.
Waiting on Alienware Tech support to respond - machine is about 2.5 years old and out of warranty

I have downloaded all ISO images of Windows 10 through Media Creation Tool. Each ISO image is consisted on both versions (x86 and x64) of respective windows.
Now, I want to convert all Windows 10 ISO images in a single bootable USB in a way which will give me the list of selection of installation windows 10 at the time of installation.

I've added a Linux live disk (ISO) to a USB drive using Rufus & changed the UEFI so all the USB boot options are the preferred ones. My laptop still does not see the USB during boot (also the light on the USB drive stays off as if it's receiving no power).

My gamer Laptop (ASUS G55VW ROG) is now upgrated from Windows 7 SP1. It went smooth and without errors.Before fiddle around too much I want to make a bootable USB-key with Windows 10 installaion to make a clean install possible if I mess windows up so it can't boot.But how do I make this bootable USB-key? I know I can "reset" the PC from "settings", but that only works if it can boot .I had the understanding, that it would be possible to make a DVD or an USB-pen to make a clean install? And what about cd-key when cleaninstalling from that bootdevice?

I have been using windows 7 ultimate for more than 2 years and now I want to upgrade to windows 10. My friend recommended a clean install, gave me an iso for windows 10 enterprise, tell me to use a program called rufus and referred me to this tutorial
My question is: Is it better do a clean install or simply upgrade from the built-in windows update tool? Then, if I should do a clean install, is rufus the suitable tool for making bootable usb?

I have been having problems starting up windows. I have a SSD in my laptop and I'm not sure if it is failing, or if my windows files are corrupt.
1.Windows will sometimes start, allow me to log in, but then freeze as soon as I get to the desktop.
2.Windows will start up to the login window and then freeze.
3.Computer will start, have a blank screen, but still have mouse that i can move.
4.Computer will start with error "hard disk (3f0)
Laptop does all four of these in varying order, but most often it would do 2.
I have not been able to get it started into safe mode yet. (freezes up before getting there).I do have a bootable flash drive with Ubuntu on it, but when it boot, it doesn't recognize the hard drive.
