| 1415398 | 2016-02-03 04:45:00 | I just inadvertently lost my win10, I started up with another hdd usb connection. And now it won't start I think I've messed up the boot loader. Seeing as this an upgrade from 8.1 I can't put my original win 8.0 disc in to rescue can I ? Or do I have to fresh install of win 10 and save all my stuff from the offending hdd and then put back onto reformatted disc. |

Have a read of this article: here (blog.d0zingcat.xyz Windows%2010/) 1st where it suggests in the advanced, select the Automatic Repair, not the Command prompt - it may fix it. If not you'll return to the same screen, so then try the command. You'll need windows 10 - you can download it and make a ISO to burn to DVD or USB drive by using the media creation tool: www.microsoft.com Scroll down to download tool Now, and run it - follow instructions. |

| 1415400 | 2016-02-03 23:30:00 | The easiest way, by far, is to backup data & do a fresh, new install of 10 Fixing bootloader issues on win8,10 etc can be a painfull experience, and may not work after some hours of effort . Particularly painfull if its a HP, Tosh etc with up to 6 partitions in a non standard order The method that worked for me, requires a rescue disk or install disk of the same OS, use of diskpart , bootrec & bcdboot (sorry I dont have the link, you'll need to google it) |
