Great BIGBEARBEARD, Many thanks for your comprehensive response. I am however expecting to return to the vendor (as suggested by vendor). It is packed now ! All makes sense. Don't have data to retrieve - I was in process of transferring from OLD machine (which I am using now)

used chkdsk c:/f etc. No resolve - am going to return unit Thanks for suggestion.

WIll try and advise later. Have managed SAFEMODE previously but not done CHKDSK. Do you suggest both the SSD & HDD - for CHKDSK & possible replacement (sort of assume the SSD)?

I have seen other references but typically with older Windows. This is Windows 10 Pro which has just been delivered to me on a (new to me but refurbed ) PC. Athlon CPU, 8gb memory, 250 ssd and 500 gb hdd. I have been trying to create a functional PC for about 2.5 days. When I got the PC I...

Think I have done as you suggest and had apprx 180 entries in the CSV file which I have copied to USB drive and then deleted but only represented MBs not GBs . Also found some 'Roaming' storage and now have created a further 5 gb of space but still around 20 gb not accounted for. What started...

Hi, I seen a few posts relating to disks with less space than anticipated - but think I have gone through the suggestions. I have an older ACER X1301 which has been upgraded to W8 then W10 and with an SSD instead of the HDD. When I installed the SSD I thought I had a 'C' drive with approx...

I have an Acer X1301 with 256 ssd with Windows 10. I normally use Firefox but kept crashing ..so. I tried Opera and also randomly (appears to me) crashes I have tried looking in the event viewer and there are many warnings / errors but I don't really understand what I am looking at. The last...

I spoke to early! The first spreadsheet I opened worked just as expected. Very simple The next spreadsheet is somewhat more ecomplex and I can see all the 'references' appear to have dissappeared. The code is present but the Botton referring to that code has gone. The attached screenshot...

Read a solution at stackoverflow when I tried to find MSFORMS.* from the search programs and files - nothing found but using windows explorer I typed in %TEMP% then found folder excel8.0 and deleted it. I tried running a .bat file but access was denied...
