Windows 10: How do I make my Win 10 SSD bootable after dual boot failure?

Hi,

My machine was built with Win7 on a mechanical HD, a SSD was added onto which Win10 was installed. At power-on a Dual Boot option menu was displayed - and timed out to Win10.


The HD has now falied (and has been disconnected) but the SSD does not boot by itself.


How can I make the PC boot from the SSD?


I have a feeling the answer is using BootRec on the Installation DVD in Repair mode but I'm not sure what to do such that I don't lose the programs,

drivers & data.


The SSD is a Samsung 850 EVO, 240Gb - and I seem to recall this gave some people problems installing Win 10 (partition sizes?)


Thanks,

Ken

dual boot win 10

I had upgraded my old 32 bit win 10 to a 64 bit win 10 system and while I was transferring my files, I dual booted from the original 32 bit Win 10 system. Now that everything is running smoothly, I would like to remove the old 32 bit partition and included
the space in my new 64 bit system. However, when I go into the disk management, it is listing the old 32 bit system as 'system,active,primary' partition and is listing my new 64 bit system as (boot, pagefile, crash dump, primary partiton). I am afraid to make
this partition as active in case I lose all my files. Any suggestion of how to get rid of the 32 bit partition and make the 64 bit system bootable?

Thanks

Multi-bootable USB

Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
3. MemTest86+

Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!

 

Dual Boot Win 7 onto Win 10 host?

I recently purchased a Win 10 laptop with an ssd, and would like to ALSO run Win 7 on it. What is the best wayto have BOTH bootable: ("Dual Boot"? "Bootable virtual drive"? (what's the difference between them??)).

Then: where can I find the Best, Detailed, (Simple?) instructions to accomplish this?

Also: Is there a way that both installed OS's can SHARE a single program-installation (+data) ?

IS any/all of this possible? Where can I GO to find out how?
