| Changing the drive letter and rebooting resulted in no issues, so I just deleted the volume and extended my C drive. Many thanks again, Ivo and Gaurav! |

| But make sure that E drive is empty and has no important or system data. First go to Control Panel -> Folder Options and turn on hidden files and system files from View tab. If the drive contains anything important other than folders after showing hidden and system files like System Volume Informat... |

| Thanks I was able to create a bootable flash drive at last. But much like the other novices here, I'm unsure of exactly where to go with this now. If anyone can provide step by step guidance, without assuming that I understand the finer nuances, it would be a great help. Have you tried the guide he... |

| I don't know if this is Windows Anniversary related or Classic Shell hack related, but after fixing the MBR debacle, I noticed this morning I now have this second local disk showing up (the E:\ drive). I only have one HDD, and I don't have any externals or flash drives connected to my PC. When I dou... |

| Friend, you aren't supposed to just copy the ISO file like that or extract its contents. You gotta "burn" it into the USB dongle (ISO is like a copy of a CD for you to burn it and use it as an original CD). You can use a program like ROSA Image Writer do burn it to an USB drive, and then ... |

Obviously I will just click yes (haven't done anything yet because I wanted to post here and get a response first), but is this normal? The Windows Anniversary update fully i... |

| In the case your Master Boot Record has been altered, or removed (as happened to me with the fake version of Classic Shell), you can fix it. If you never made an Emergency Boot Disk from your operating system? and in that you can't boot up? You will have to find someone with a Windows OS - 7 worked... |

| Win 7 disc may also work. You need to boot into recovery mode, then get to the command prompt, and then run these commands: bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /fixboot exit This worked for me with a Windows 10 disc, and I'm sure will work for Win 7. Pardon my most-likely incredibly obvious question, but if I ... |

| Alright, I'm back on my desktop. My steps, more or less. Not incredibly detailed but it may help someone. 1. Grabbed the testdisk as linked on one the above posts. Specially I got the ubcd live cd, which has it. 2. Ran testdisk, selected the boot drive, quick analyse, and then wrote the partitions ... |

| My FINAL solution was to use an older Windows 7 Emergency Boot CD, where none of the command line tools fixed it? I finally noticed the top 1 of 6 menu items 'Fix Startup Problems' - and phew - even though it's Windows 10 (as I thought 8 and 10 were major changes with MBR from 7), it did fix it. Ca... |

I'm reading through this thread, and unfortunately for me, much of what is being said goes over my head. I'm moderately tech savvy, but I'm an amateur when it com... |
