That would wipe all data on the partition. The ideal situation is to rescue the partition.

I'm sorry this is where I am confused. According to the Microsoft website, my version of Win 10 (Home Edition) does not use Bitlocker. Also, it indicates that a Windows Recovery Key is stored in the same Microsoft account, if disk encryption (Non-Bitlocker) is used, that was used to set up the...

It boots me into this menu after failing an "Auto-Repair"

If I understand "EFS enabled" correctly, that isn't what was used on this device. It was Device Encryption in the Update & Security menu. Under normal circumstances how would one recover the encrypted user data in such a situation? As best I can tell Win 10 Home doesn't use BitLocker so there is...

Thanks for the reply. I guess my confusion is if I can select Win10 in the bootloader and it is "booting", albeit with errors, isn't it in the Win 10 environment at that point?

Thank you for the reply and assistance. Much appreciated. The computer boots with no issue into the bootloader (Grub2). Both OS's (Win10 and Linux Kernel) are given as options to boot. The problem occurs when I select Win10 to boot into. When Win 10 boots...it starts the Diagnostic auto-repair...

I have an issue that I hope the experts on the board can help me solve. The short version is that I have a Win 10 Laptop that I wanted to use as a dual-boot Win10/Linux box. I used a Linux LiveUSB to attempt the install. Now I can not boot into, repair, or rescue the Win 10 partition. I am...

No that was a question I was asking based on the initial answers provided. I forgot the question mark. Sorry about that. I don't understand how the information in any partition manager can be useless given that it shows exactly what is going on with a disk. Nothing is hidden.What will the...

yes it is a laptop

Thank you all for the assistance. I prefer as much detail as possible so don't worry. So let me see if I understand what is being said. sda1 is the boot partition for Windows 7. sda2 is the partition that would be listed as the C: drive in windows. sda3 is an extended partition in which the...

Sorry about the flash. There were two more photos below that one without it that were clearer. Not sure if you saw them.

This is a 1TB HD with Win 7 pre-installed on a 100GB partition (C:) and a remaining 809GB or 811GB depending on what I use to look at it on a second partition (D:). I would like to partition the remaining 811GB (D:) however I ran into a confusing snag. Even though Windows shows only 2...

I don't think this is a support question per-se so am posting here. If incorrect, mods feel free to move it. I want to do some partitioning of my hard drive and ideally would like to reclaim the space used by the recovery partition. If I copy my recovery partition (20GB) to an external HD or...

I contacted Samsung customer service. It took them quite a long time to get me an answer but the short version is "Yes you can do it". However it can only be executed if the PC is reset to it's factory state. That can't be done by the recovery media provided but by a tool that Samsung has...

I have purchased a brand new laptop with an OEM Windows 7 Home Premium. On the first boot it runs that wizard asking you to select locale etc. After doing some research I see that supposedly only Win7 Ultimate will allow multiple languages which is confusing since Home Premium is allowing me to...
