  1. former employer says I wiped work computer and I did not


    Left company as exec, and getting legal letters that I wiped computer as company IT dept says I "installed a software and wiped computer like nothing they have seen before, professional grade to cover tracks". This is a lie and I could not even download software without admin rights. Even if I could, can't forensics simply tell me the date it was wiped to prove it was not in my possession? Also, I read that files are still recoverable until overwritten. I think that IT re-imaged the machine and now they cannot prove or disprove wiping, which I never did. I don't want to have to go to cour

  2. Wiping computer

    Your report suggests that your installation has suffered some damage which prevents Windows from doing a reset. In such stubborn cases I would do this:

    1. Create a new media installation disk:

      http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install
    2. Run setup.exe on this disk.
    It would wipe everything, including your data and all applications.

  3. Windows 10 infinite restart black screen


    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

    Computer Not Working

    It's a laptop and it has a battery so I don't think that will work unless you want me ripping out the battery repeatedly
