ntfs

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...

Adding a second HDD to my PC is causing a blue screen on boot. I hope someone can help me with this. I have a spare HDD from a recently upgraded laptop lying around and want to install it in my desktop in addition to the 1 SSD I have in there currently. The problem is once I connect the drive...

Hi, I have an HP Pavilion 23 that is currently running Linux and I want to convert it back to a windows 7 machine for my grandson. So far, all of my attempts have failed as the drive is set up as a gpt partition and I can't seem to get it changed to ntfs to load windows. Does anyone know of a...

Hi This is my first post on the forums as i'm unable to find the solution online. I've searched all over Google for a similar case to mine and i'm yet to find any. I recently ran in to a BSOD during gaming on Windows 10 64-bit. It occurred when I was playing Black Ops 4. I managed to get two...

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...

Hi, Have an Asus P8Z77-V PRO/THUNDERBOLT. I created another ntfs partition on my ssd C: drive. It is is to install Linux Lubuntu. My idea for a 2nd OS is purely for rescue purposes so i can access internet from lubuntu and try to fix windows or reinstall it without having a dedicated usb with...

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...
