The problem started when I was getting the BSOD. Now I can't even get that; computer only boots into BIOS or into a bootable USB. When I boot into a bootable USB with SystemRescue (a linux distro) I am able to detect my hard drive (using the command fsarchiver) and to mount it. However, when I...

Hey guys, My PC croaked on me what has been 3 years ago now. I tried moving my hard drive to a different computer and that's when I discovered Windows 10 is very particular about what computer it's on with the licensing. Gone are the days apparently of just moving a hard drive to a new...

Hi Thanks for calling in. I thought I'd be clever and 'have a go' at installing Android on my Windows Machine 'not a good idea' as half way through the installation it threw its legs up and decided it was not going to install. Now when I boot into Windows 10 I get GRUB and have to EXIT twice...

So I'll give intro of what I did in windows 10 before moving onto Linux as this is a Linux forum section. I wanted to run a program in windows, I don't know why but I suspected it might have had a virus or malware in it. I had no intention of running it in windows but may or may not have...
