I suspect that will take quite a while and many laws.

Besides if you want to go somewhere and not drive there are perfectly good and cheaper existing ways of doing it.


I also suspect that either traffic will grind to a halt or there will be a lot of problems with whose machine caused the crash.

Kaspersky Blog Accuses Microsoft of Unfair Practices in Windows 10

That’s It. I’ve Had Enough!
NOTES, COMMENT AND BUZZ FROM EUGENE KASPERSKY – OFFICIAL BLOG

Chris,

[Burn_IT]

I'm not disputing that, but until I try it I think it highly unlikely.
Do you mean you cannot get it to boot because of EufI or what doesn't work??

I have just tried it and it is fine. I even loaded a quick XP from it.
The tools work from a Windows 10 boot.

I suspect you may have access right restictions, but the same are likely to apply to the UBCD as well.

As I said first, check the boot options.

" anyone know a good alternative to Hirens Boot CD.
it won't work on windows 10 anymore. "

"""""""

I had a good look and I didn't want to make it too technical
and a turn off when all you want is a fixit.

I also looked at Falcon boot cd to see if they had a fix.

I have turned off secure boot etc and booted rescue discs and on some machines you can't see any drives.
Probably A GPT partition thing.

How to Fix Issue Booting to DVD/CD with New UEFI BIOS Boot Order

I don't have a machine with the horrible boot enabled and i am not going to turn it on or install it just to test things.
I have all Win 10 running without it (when I want W10) and until MS lose a lot of business by forcing it on me I'm going to be happy not to use it.

It does not actually make things more secure and just annoys the "£$% out of those that have to bypass it to do their job.

Yes I only post when I see something different.

Of course it's bad form by me having to read my own posts
to fix some computers ha! ha!.

But that's why I set it up originally.
Some links die and I can't help that.

Anyway cheers mate....Chris.

Ccleaner kills Mozilla Thunderbird ?

Whirlpool forum post.

Apparently there is a big problem with Windows 10 recently.
So back up your email.

I have never ever had a problem with Ccleaner ever,
but this is nasty.

Hoping Chris or someone familiar with Windows 10 can guide me .

I have a friend with windows on the machine and it will not read my ext4 file system which is a bugger because my movie backup is on ext4.

So I gave her a CD with puppy precise on it and then we tried to change the BIOS in settings to boot from CD first . F10 got us there and we changed it but it did not work.

Doing it a few times I noticed a small arrowhead to the left of the windows O/S entry and I am guessing thats the default indicator and it would not move.

Anyone know how we do this ? Have the password available but just don't know where to go to move default?

[Burn_IT]

You need theWindows Ext4 drivers. They are not loaded by default.

[april]

And where would I get them without the crud thanks?

[Burn_IT]

Does Google not work for you?? I'm not being sarcastic!!!
That is what I would have to do to look them up for you!!
