Windows 10: Dualboot SSD not loading Win 10 1803 or XP.

Hi,

I have turned on a PC we haven't used for a while and found this problem

It has Win 10 1803 and XP on a dual boot on it and as far as I recall it did work fine.

Now when I turn it on I see the Win 10 logo then it goes to the dual boot page. I have chosen both options but I either get a black screen or a flashing black then grey screen.

At one time I got a black screen that said it was Preparing Auto Repair, it was Preparing Auto Repair then Diagnosing and Preparing Disk Errors it may be over an hour.

In a couple of minutes it rebooted to the Win logo then a black screen with, 'To skip disk check etyc'. I let it run and rebooted to the Win logo again to the dual boot again.

Chose Win 10 and got the black screen and when I chose XP I got,, Could not read... Boot Failure.

Can anyone tell me where to go to now please?

:)

 

Dualboot win 10 with win 7 problem with SSD

I can’t install win 7 as the second OS with win 10 (dual boot). I already made it three times for different PCs. I bought new SSD, I installed win 10. I couldn’t install win 7, by all ways. The message received says “The selected disk is of
GPT partition style" Is there any problem with the SSD structure made by win 7, and there are any solutions?

 

Windows 10 1803 doesn't play nice with some Intel SSDs

Legit Reviews is reporting that Windows 10 1803 has issues with some Intel SSDs, specifically their 600p series: "When attempting to upgrade to Window 10 April 2018 Update select devices with certain Intel SSDs may enter a UEFI screen reboot or crash repeatedly." Microsoft and/or Intel are working on a fix.

 

Following Win 10 Update (1803): Unable to print (Printer offline message).

Printer Samsung ML2950 Series.

I have followed all the suggestions here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027397/windows-10-fix-printer-problems

None of them fix the problem.

The printer is working fine. Another WIN 10 computer on the network is able to print to the printer without issue.

Latest updates:

• WIN 10 1803

and

• Security Update for Adobe Flash for Win 10 1803 KB4338832

I uninstalled KB4338832 and the problem persists, so I presume that the problem is with the 1803 update (as that took around 2 hours to install, I'm reluctant to uninstall it to test it).
