    Checking media [Fail]

    I have a dell inspiron 3521 which originally came with windows 8.1 and I had the option to update it to windows 10 which I did. I tried to dual boot it with ubuntu which worked but I couldn't connect to the internet with my ubuntu, so I had to change to
    linux mint. During the installation of linux, I had an option to over-right the ubuntu partition and install linux which I chose but the linux installation failed and when I tried to login to windows the this error message.

    Checking media [Fail]

    Checking media

    No Boot Device Found. Press any key to reboot the machine

    My bios setup can see my hard drive in its full size. At the boot manager (insydeh2o utility), I have these options:

    UEFI BOOT:

    UEFI Onboard LAN IPv6

    UEFI Onboard LAN IPv4

    Any help or suggestions?

    Thanks.

    KB4025339 Fails Install 0x80070564

    Thanks
    I am trying Eagle 51's suggestions now. Windows Update troubleshooter found a bunch of errors and fixed all but one.The update is trying to download KB4025339 again. I'll see what happens. At step one troubleshooter finishes with one error unresolved "Potential Windows Update Database Error Detected-Not Fixed". Windows update stalled at 0%.

    At step 2 same troubleshooter error. The KB finished a new download failed to install.
    Did step 3 KB has downloaded but fails to install.

    If Eagle's suggestion doesn't work I'll try EdTittel's suggestion

    Tried bothe Eagle & Ed 's suggestions - do not work. Anyone else?

    I have noticed that the latest update for my nvidia drivers has failed to update. Wondering about that!
