I would like to install on disk 1. Disk 1 is emtpy, disk 0 has 3TB ExFat partition, disk 3 is the Windows installer. If I try to install Windows, it has error 0x80300024. BIOS boot order has Disk 1 on top. I have rebuilt the partition table of both disks. If I have disk 0 be empty, the it...

This discussion is about editing motherboard settings using Windows utilities. Which Windows applications can edit Legacy-BIOS settings and boot order entries? Low Hanging Fruit: I already know Windows applications to edit UEFI boot order settings, there is PA and Easy-UEFI. They can change UEFI...

Hello, Windows 11 on my HP x360 14tea laptop. After creating a backup image, I am trying to restore the image. The image was created and stored on a network hard drive without any issues. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to restore the image. I have a USB CD/DVD Burner that I have used to...

I have a Dell xps 8700 pc with Windows 10 installed. I cloned my new wd hdd from a ssd card. In the bios under UEFI boot the hdd does not show up in the boot order, but does show up in the Legacy boot order. I played around for a few hours with this but to no avail. Any help to get it to boot...

I set the UEFI to give boot options when pressing F12 on boot-up. However that doesn't work. The tablet boots to Windows 10 anyway. There is no pop-up window. I never set a supervisor, but I am he if there is one. I set the boot order to boot to the optical drive first...

Not sure whats going on but for some dumb reason windows 10 is not recognizing my 3TB Hitachi UltraStar 7K3000 as a HDD it insists its a SSD. My 850 evo has to go back to samsung so they told me to clone the c: onto D: then change boot order. Perfect sense, same as always so I do so and now not...

Pardon my cluelessness, but I'm trying to fix up a backup disk for my mother's Win7 machine. I will be installing a second drive that I intend to clone onto from the original. I assume such a clone will be bootable. But how do I tell the system which disk to boot on? As in, at startup, I ought...

About 2 months ago I built my first computer, nothing insanely special, but enough to replace my dying laptop and play games at half decent settings. I got it with a copy of Windows 8.1, and late at night and in a hurry to get int.everything set up I didn't do any research and just did windows...

Hey guys, So as in the title, when I start up my computer there's no OS being detected. Reason being, I had upgraded from windows 7 to 10. Everything was fine, then I foolishly decided to give my computer a reboot, just to clean it up a bit. Halfway through, Windows 10 tells me there was a...

Yesterday, I uninstalled Daemon Tools VHDs in device management and restarted, and after that, I couldn't boot properly anymore, the automatic repair doesn't work, pc refresh is not working because the drive is apparently locked and pc rest is not working either because a required drive...

Hello, I'm trying to disable UEFI on my computer. I did this on some other PC's and it all worked out fine, but I got stuck with this one. The BIOS does have a "secure boot", "fast boot", and "quiet boot" option, but even when I disabled them all I could still only boot into windows 8 (I'm...

Hi My wife has a new Asus X750j Laptop. I've spent the last day and a half setting it up. Now I want to make a system image of the C:\ drive using Paragon. I do this from a bootable DVD, but it isn't set to boot to the DVD first in the boot order. I've looked and looked and I can't find a way...

hi, i am wondering is it possible for me to dual boot windows 8 64 bit with windows 7 32 bit. I already have windows 7 32 bit and want to get windows 8. I understand there are problems with having a 64 bit and a 32 bit os on the same hard drive. I do not have the windows 7 installation cd and...

I just received my new Dell Inspiron 15R-5520 64 bit laptop running Windows 8. It came with a new BIOS that supports both UEFI and Legacy. Compared to the BIOS on my old Dell Inspiron laptop it seems very insecure. I'm referring to access to the boot order. In my old BIOS I could set a password...
