Another Windows 10 "upgrade" aggravation. [View all]
Friend brought his kid's computer in because on boot up it kept saying "No OS found"
OK, get out my Windows 7 install disk and see if I can repair it. Only OS it finds is 10. Fixed it to the point that 10 starts to boot and halts due to file error. Starts repair process and goes into a loop.
Get out my Linux disk to see if I can read the drive and save data. Shows C: drive but not D: partition. Try to access C: drive and get unmountable error.
Get out a spare drive and do a quick and dirty 7 install, shut it down, hook up the other drive. Shows C: partition and lets me copy data files to external. When click on D: message is "This drive is not formatted, would you like to format it now?"
Evidently it upgraded to 10 back in Dec and blanked out the D: partition at the time. WTF? Needless to say everything on it is now gone.
Wiped drive completely and reinstalled 7, currently updating and making sure KB3035583 does not get there.
