I fully understand. Around two decades ago, I looked for answers in Microsoft newsgroups and a member like you answered many questions. I had one peculiar problem in Excel, creating program in VBA, where the macro did record steps, but when running, did not recognize the "\" character (used for...

I wonder why you not host your own blog? At least friends can see your choice of themes, your layout and how you configure your server for max speed etc.? Problem is SSHD, and no one has found any problems yet. Right now even Linux is behaving like Windows and I have no clue.

I am too tired to look into that MiB jargon! When I convert to GPT, UEFI boot entries in the BIOS-UEFI menu are empty and so when we boot I am greeted with the blinking cursor. Also Windows does not allow me to install on GPT partition. It looks you are confused (we are on the same boat...

Right, I thought so. There is no point going further because we both are not aware of how SSHD is calling the shots and what we can do about it. As I am unique, needing multiple boot, and multiple windows, I doubt anyone will have any helping hand. Since you know Linux in and out, it is easy...

My son is 17 and me 58 and I look to keep a watch on what he does, what he downloads and ... the file manager allows me to peep inside his windows. That is one reason. Most of his games put lot of load on windows pc (mine is a laptop with just 4 gigs RAM and an I5). When Win10 was released I...

I appreciate all of the help you provided. I just highlighted what problems I am facing while installing Linux & Windows. Forget about Windows, I would appreciate again if you could analyze the latest boot-repair report and tell me, how can I get my hands wet on Linux. (Windows was never...

Tried installing Mint. I gave 22 Gb for /, 4 Gb for swap, 23 Gb for /home and after installing and rebooting, it says, error: no such partition. I ran boot-repair and I don't how it behaved! Despite all the above partitions, it again reiterated the same message I saw earlier "very less space...

Today, I interchanged the drives and, obviously, neither 7 nor 10 booted. However, after I ran bootrec /rebuildbcd it found 5 installations. But when tried to boot again, it said missing operating system. (Please note that windows 10 was installed on the 1 TB hdd, which I now have as the main...

Wow, you are really going far for me. I appreciate by the heart. for SFC /scannow, I need to be inside the problematic windows installation, because from the 1st windows which is successfully installed and running, this command would do nothing. The link for article on howtogeek is okay, but it...

Thanks for your efforts. BUT Problem is after second install, Windows says cannot find winload.exe and F8 does not even work. I cannot go to advanced options to select startup repair. I have done this a dozen times. Probably the install messes up with drive letters or something because in BCD...

There are reasons for my frustration with Windows (7/10). If an install gets corrupt, the RE says it cannot fix this computer automatically. My son uses windows hence I cannot totally erase it from my laptop. We earlier planned to have two installs of windows, one for each, but SSHD does not...

Somehow Mint is installed as the boot repair disk showed where it was installed and I could not locate it earlier. I updated and after rebooting my laptop, again I get Grub rescue error. the boot-repair disk report is attached here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Nzw3JDGwWv/

I tried everything as suggested but of no avail. Everything fails. Now I am downloading the boot-repair disk from sourceforge, because the SSHD is a bad purchase. My bad

https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/12415/windows-10-recovery-options The above link shows something on Recovery, but in there it says you can reinstall windows. I don't know how to get to the Recovery under Windows 10. Can you explain it a bit?

I will try working on the instructions now. However, I feel the hybrid drive problem is behaving exactly as you said. If you can recollect the link I would like to read because your words "... you have to align it to do so, by changing the letters" is not coming to me properly.

I feel the problem exists with my SSHD because earlier, before I purchased this disk, Mint installed without a hitch, on the same laptop. If you have some info on this aspect, I will appreciate it. I have searched all over, but have not found one adverse comment on SSHD. Looks it is my bad

I had chosen the option of installing alongside windows, the first time around. It met the same fate of not getting linux on boot loader. Next time when I tried to install linux again, the first option was greyed out and I had to choose the last option, doing it manually. I had watched the...

I tried UEFI but Windows won't install on GPT partition. Secondly, boot entries go blank in the BIOS and on reboot there is just a pointer/cursor blinking. I can only work on BIOS right now. Currently I am writing from liveboot of Mint.

Pressing F5/F6 is of no use because there is no entry to move up or down in boot loader. I added an entry for linux using easybcd but when I select the entry in boot manager it leads to Grub Rescue. The link you gave works for UEFI and not for BIOS, which my laptop has. Any other link will be...

Hello all Fed up of Windows, I decided to install Mint Linux on my laptop with 4 GB RAM. I have a 1 TB SSHD running windows 10. I watched the video how to install Linux as multiboot on windows PC and completed all the steps. The installation was OK but when I rebooted, I found no entry in the...
