Hello! I made the big mistake (head low) of installing Ubuntu 18.04 on my Surface Pro 4 with a complete disk wipe. I tried to reinstall Windows 10 from a bootable USB but it failed because the disk does not have a NTFS formatted partiton and the formatting option was greyed out. Should I do...

I have a 700GB external disk drive that my Dell x64 used to recognize when I plugged it in. W7 will no longer recognize it. I can plug it into another like Dell W7 machine and it recognizes the disk. Does anyone know why this problem is happening and anything I can do to rectify it? (It may...

I am seeing multiple NTFS BSOD (24) occurrences on my Windows 7 Professional 32-bit system. I have many mini-dumps and full dumps. Is there anyone on this forum who has experience with these and can assist in determining what is happening? What documentation do you need? Thanks.

I have a (new) Acer Swift notebook which does not allow to switch/enable Legacy BIOS mode. So I can only disable "Secure Boot" and use UEFI. However my bootable, GPT and NTFS formatted USB flash drive is NOT recognized or even bootable. It works on other computers. I read that FAT32 should be...

Hello All, I'm using 2 external HDD on my laptop under Windows 10. Both are exactly the same: same brand, same model, same capacity, same format (NTFS). I use 1 for my daily use, the second one as backup which I synchronize frequently with the first one. However I noticed a difference with some...

I have a Dell XPS-17 L702X laptop running Windows 10 Pro x64. I upgraded my 500GB internal secondary drive to a 1TB drive. I did not do a quick format of this new 1TB but rather did the full, longer format. The new, upgraded 1TB secondary drive was made active and assigned the drive letter D...

For years I’ve used Clonezilla on external drives to create and manipulate drive image backups like this: First, using Gparted I make two partitions on an external drive, first partition 300MB fat32 for Clonezilla live boot, and the balance ntsf partition to store the images. Next I use...

This is extremely aggravating and puzzling: I have both Windows 10 Pro (build 1703) and Windows 7 Pro (service pack 2 with the latest updates) installed on different NTFS disks/partitions on the same computer (actually, I have two computers with both installed). Here's the aggravating problem...

Hi, I've been having several BSODs in Win10 lately (Screenshot 1), some say CACHE_MANAGER (NTFS.sys 0x34), others say DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, others System_service_exception, Unexpected Kernel Mode Trap, etc... They happen randomly, sometimes when I turn the PC on, sometimes when im...

Microsoft is apparently working on a 'high end' version of Windows 10 for work stations and the like.. Reference

Hey, all. I need some help. I just got a new hard drive for my laptop to replace an old one that went bad. Unfortunately, Windows will not install to the laptop (or work, on the one occasion I've succeeded). Every time I've tried to install Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit), it tells me that it...

Hi, This is my first post hoping to find a solution from some Windows guru. My question affects all versions of Windows, which presumably support GPT partitions. I have a USB stick that I partitioned using GPT scheme. I have about 4 or 5 partitions, one of them is an ESP so that I can boot...

I am using CreateFile to open a snapshot volume, and ReadFile to read from it. On one system I had an attempt to read 1 mb fail with a CRC error. As I understand it, the drive should be doing its own bad sector mapping, but apparently it's not. I know that NTFS has bad sector handling, does...
