Hello. I do a lot of cloning on all my machines, so far so good. I recently planned ahead and got a new laptop, to be able to go to W-11. Of course, I got one with Secure Boot. I am unable to do a clone any more as Acronis tries to boot from its USB media disk. I succeeded in getting rid of...

Hi, so I've been enjoying windows 7 on a computer I built about half a year ago. However, recently I decided to invest in a new HDD (this one is ssd) as well as a new gpu. I tested and installed the 64bit home premium os at my friends house on his computer which seemed to boot perfectly. When I...

I've got a situation that has completely puzzled me, wondering if anyone can help. My friend asked me to fix her laptop, which has been failing to boot, getting as far as the blue Windows 7 login screen then hanging. The login UI doesn't load, it's just the blue background. I tried to...

Note: Back up the files from your USB drive, as it WILL get formatted in this process and all data on it will be lost! Run CMD.EXE and type the following. Note: This set of commands assumes that the USB flash drive is addressed as "disk 1". you should double check that by doing a list of the...
