    How to decide which drive is going to be wiped when resetting windows


    So I want to restore my windows 10 without losing anything on my other drives but on the list of apps that are going to be deleted there are a lot of apps from my other drives as well. How do I decide which drive/drives should be wiped and not?

    :)

    How to reset whole netsh? (Windows 7)

    Was wondering has the commands changed somehow since on Windows XP and on Windows Vista 'NETSH INT RESET ALL' cleaned entire netsh up from top to bottom.

    Now on Windows 7 this same command says no go and only way I can see it is by building .cmd/.bat which does something like:

    Code: netsh winsock reset all netsh int 6to4 reset all netsh int ipv4 reset all netsh int ipv6 reset all netsh int httpstunnel reset all netsh int isatap reset all netsh int portproxy reset all netsh int tcp reset all netsh int teredo reset all[/quote] now the king of the hill of bugs is this doesn't actually do even it's job even after reboot. values setup to are not reset to defaults. (I know I could add more entire list of entries there is, but looking for clean delete/wipe settings & default everything not to dump entire list of resets.)

    So, anyone got a plan B?

    How to go back to orginal boot MBR


    Use the reset BCD option in EasyBCD to wipe out the BCD.

    Resetting the BCD

    Then from an elevated command prompt ("Run as administrator" command prompt) type:
    BCDBOOT C:\WINDOWS
    (assuming your Windows is installed on C: drive).

    Be aware, the first step will leave your computer unbootable from the hard drive until the second step is completed successfully. So, I would run the second step first - make sure it works, then go back and do step 1 and step 2.
