If I use Windows USB/DVD tool or Rufus to burn the Windows 10 ISO to my USB drive, would I be able to use the USB drive anymore, i.e. deleting files and putting other ones?
View 3 RepliesI have a SATA-1 TSSTcorp TS-H653 (not sure whether it is an F, G, H etc.) CD/DVD writable drive in an Inspirion 537s. I recently upgraded to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 Ultimate, but the drive is not recognized by the OS. However, the drive does show up in BIOS. I have searched and cannot find a driver for this drive.

View 1 RepliesI burned one with Windows 7 and noticed it seemed to burn at full speed. Is it worth using a program like imgburn which allows you to select slower burn speeds, perhaps resulting in fewer installation problems?
View 9 RepliesI just bought a new 850 EVO and i am trying to make a clean install of windows 10 pro through my optical drive, not a usb drive. I turned bios to AHCI and everything seems fine. At least everything worked fine with windows 7. So the problem is that after the installation asked me for first time to restart my pc and i removed the DVD, then bios showed me that there is no Hard drive in my system, after making the AHCI checks.

View 1 RepliesI have two drives. One is an SDD, which is where my windows installation is. The other is an HDD, which is where I keep a lot of large files. Whenever I delete something on my HDD, Windows copies it onto my SSD before deleting it (by moving it to the recycle bin). I do not want this to happen. I want it to either move the recycle bin to my HDD or don't copy it into a recycle bin at all. How can I do this?
View 1 RepliesSo I have a 128gb 840 evo ssd as my C drive and then a WD caviar Blue as a mass storage drive . So with windows 10 just coming out and it being free I thought I would duel boot it with windows 7(currently running) and went and cleared out a bunch of old games and programs and ended up the 47 gb free so I would have space to make a partition and have a little room after that. then once I tried to shrink the volume it says the maximum i can shrink it is 129mb. so I tried on my HDD and it worked just fine being able to shrink it 600GB(the remaining storage).
System Specs
i5 4570k
EVGA GTX 760

I've a dual boot Windows 8 and Windows 10 pro 64 bit notebook. I've lost - after having installed an application Screencamera - the possibility to boot to Windows 10 (even in Safe node!) so in order to regain access to it I'd try to make a repair installation; the tutorial I've read here is for a repair from within windows; I wonder how to do the same (or how to fix) from outside it?

View 4 RepliesI 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.

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?
View 4 RepliesIs there any way to make an installation disk for Windows 10?
I have my backups and such, but I want a disk where I can scrub the hard disk and reinstall from the beginning.
When I open Media Player it asks me to connect an external burner. I thought you could burn to cds with Media Player, previous system Windows 7 Home.
View 9 RepliesDownloaded MemTest and when I right click on the .iso to burn to disc the option is not in the menu. I downloaded it on another Win10 machine with the same results, right click on the .iso does not have an option to burn to disc. Another .iso file in my downloads (Decrypt) has the burn to disc option on right click.
Both files are .iso and show as disc image. Why the memtest .iso does not have a burn to disc option? It's downloaded on two different computers so that pretty much eliminates a computer problem and another .iso file will burn to disc on both machines.
If I was to make a complete image of my system warts and all. What would be the best way to create it?The media creation tool kit or something else?

View 9 RepliesI've tried using the "Create a Recovery Drive" and have tried making my own installation media using the "Media Creation Tool". Both seem to do nothing, just constantly search. The Media Creation Tool stays on the "getting a few things ready" screen for upwards of half an hour then I'll close it and it'll say "setup is cleaning up before it closes" and it'll stay on that screen forever. Even task manger won't close it - it will not show up as a process any longer, but still on the screen. EDIT: I have to shut down the computer to close the window.
Create a Recovery Drive, when choosing "Back up system files to the recovery drive", does pretty much the same thing, a screen with a green progress bar going left to right for hours. I'm trying to put it, either way, on a 32gb USB flash drive.
Its a new computer no software has been installed by me other than the MCT and a tool to find the windows product key. I'm very new to Windows 10 coming from XP.
I have a dell xps desktop. It came with a standard HDD with windows 10. I added an SSD when I bought it and have used that for the OS and applications, I was able to set it to boot to that drive, I formatted the HDD that came with the computer and used it as storage. This has been the case for around 3 months. Yesterday, the storage drive (the one that came with the OS and whatnot) was wiped with killdisk, not just re-formatted.
Once the kill disk was completed I was still using the internet as usual with the SSD, since I had it as primary. I noticed I didn't see the storage drive listed under computer, so I rebooted. Now, It wouldn't boot to the ssd because I assume the original HDD has the boot manager on it, but the whole disk was zero'd. I installed 8.1 onto the HDD. I can now see my 224gb SSD in disk management. I just want to know how to make the ssd the exclusive drive that runs the os, boot manager etc on this computer. Here is a pic of my disk management ....
I have just upgraded a machine from windows 8.1 to windows 10 and I can't make a rescue disk that will boot.
The creation of the disk goes perfectly, right to the end. And when I reboot the machine it says the disk is not bootable.
I tried other boot disks I have here and they all work. What am I missing on this Windows 10 system?
Now that my XP machine has died I am using my Win 7 upgraded to Win 10 and having issues with burning music CD's.
Receive this message as disc is ejected: Windows Media Player cannot burn the files. If the burner is busy, wait for the current task to finish. If necessary, verify that the burner is connected properly and that you have installed the latest device driver.
Some of the things I have tried/verified with no luck:
Latest driver: check (~10 times)
Busy? I don't know what would be trying to use it - no files in explorer waiting to burn
Connected properly----would hope so but not opening it up just yet
Ran the onboard troubleshooter which made it the default disc player (only one in laptop)
No, have not tried another Mfg. disk yet
Have tried to burn a 'data' CD with no luck
Just tested making a DVD (Roxio) and does not show up as a DVD when reinserted.
Was able to play a commercial music CD even rip it.
