I've copied everything from there alreadyYou don't need to but if you have the space to copy them it would be a good idea to do so. All you need to copy is the entire contents of the Users folder, that's where your data is.
No you don't but again, if you have the space on the external drive, you might as well copy them so you know you have a backup of everything.I've copied everything from there already
So, I don't need to copy any of this then:
logs.zip
LTIBootstrap.vbs
MININT
NVIDIA_GT
Perflogs
Program files
Program files (x86)
sources
bootex log
bootex.log
gdiplus.dll
?
Thanks for helping me out
It will take me some time to copy everything, I think. I'll do that now, then will follow your instructions to reinstall Windows!
I followed your instructions but sadly it doesn't seem to be workingNow that your data is safe the wisest and safest thing to do is to erase all partitions on all drives and install Windows on the fastest drive you have. Looking at your specs that would be the 512GB ADATA SX6000 Pro PCIe M.2 2280 SSD drive.
When you have booted the Windows installation media click the big blue Install button.
Then choose a Custom Install. You will see all partitions on all drives.
Delete all partitions that you can see. Eventually you will be left with three drives just showing 'unallocated space'.
Locate the 512GB drive, that's where we'll install Windows - but not just yet.
First select each of the other two drives in turn and click the New button to create a new partition on the drive. Accept the partition size chosen - it will be the full size of the drive.
Then click the format button to format that drive.
Now do the same thing on the other (non-Windows) drive.
Now select the 512GB drive where you'll install Windows and click the Next button. The installer will create the necessary partitions and install Windows.
Once Windows is installed you'll run through what's known as the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) where you'll set things like language, region, userid etc. Take your time with this process, be sure you understand what options you're choosing.
Once the OOBE has completed and Windows has started run Windows Update. You'll probably be asked to reboot, so do so and then run Windows Update again. You may have to reboot a second time, if so run Windows Update again when Windows reboots. Keep running Windows Update across all reboots until no more updates are found.
Then click the Optional Updates item and install all the updates you find there. Again, run Windows Update after any reboots until no more updates are found.
Then you'll have a working Windows system.
Those messages occur because the bootloader cannot find the boot files on your specified boot drive. The installer should have made your C:\drive the boot drive but it may not have.I followed your instructions but sadly it doesn't seem to be working
Windows seemed to run through the installation process but it never reached the Out of Box Experience. Instead, it said that it needed to restart. Then something popped up on a black screen saying:
Checking media presence.........
Media present...............
Start HTTP Boot over IPv4
Then it said:
Checking media presence.........
Media present...............
Start PXE over IPv4 on MAC: (letters and numbers)
Then it said:
Checking media presence.........
Media present...............
Start HTTP Boot over IPv6
Then it said something else (but I didn't catch it because it disappeared before I could write it down, it was some sort of an error).
Then it said:
Checking media presence.........
Media present...............
Start PXE over IPv6 on MAC: (letters and numbers)
Then it restarted back to the reinstallation of Windows screen to start over again
