  1. Any successful method for recovering from bad windows update?


    This is probably the 3rd time a windows update has messed up a computer for me. I have not been able to successfully recover without wiping out my data or getting a new computer. If anyone has advice or links to articles that my be helpful, I would really appreciate it.


    Right now, I can see that my hard drive still has stuff on in through the command prompt which I can get to through the blue "recovery" screen that has a lot of options of things to try, but none that seem to work. I am reluctant to try the "remove everything" option since I'm not sure if it will reinstall windows as it was before and it will definitely wipe out my files though they are backed up externally and on onedrive - although onedrive can be flakey if you try to restore to an empty drive.


    It seems if all the files are there, I should be able to recover without doing something drastic, but it won't let me into safe mode either. Please help!

  2. How to: Recover from bad flash with no secondary card or onboard.

    Step 1: Turn your PC on normally.
    Step 2: Press f8 and go into safe mode.
    Step 3: When you're in safe mode, go into device manager and disable your video card.
    Step 4: Restart computer(don't go into safe mode).
    Step 5: Flash your card like you normally do.
    Step 6: Go into device manager and enable your video card.
    Step 7: Restart pc and it will work.
    I found this method when I flashed my 4870 and restarted pc by accident. This method worked for me when I was using a ATI card, can someone confirm that this method works for Nvidia cards.

    I posted this on OCN and I might as well post it on this forum to help out others.

    Thread updated with a newer method that allows multiple windows OS's on the one USB. nice little windows GUI, but a few more steps than the old method.


    This method supports XP.
