Windows 10: install windows 10 after recovery failure

Starting with windows 10 version 1709, osbuild 16299.431 I have not been able to install windows 10 updates. The job ends with an error code 0x8007042b. I tried numerous fixes I found on the bulletin boards and finally opened a case with microsoft. They could not get a reinstall of windows 10 to work; no message, it just failed. Their last solution was a “custom install” which would wipe my hard drive. I didn’t have time to work on that at that time.


I have now tried to recover using a recovery disk, which wiped my hard drive. That failed with "Reset this PC There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made" At this point I have a blank hard drive, but I do have several recovery disks (I’ve tried all of them) and an ISO file.


I suspect I have a hard drive problem.

I wanted to check the drive, so I downloaded DBAN and used Rufus to create a bootable USB. My laptop does not recognize that USB and says I need a drive with an operating system.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

Download Windows 10 TH/RS

For the convenience of not having to use the installation media for startup repairs. But you should be able to use your installation media to do whatever the recovery partition does(including startup repairs). AFAIK. I could be wrong about that though.

I'm not sure if I follow you there. But if you clean install Windows 10 there will be at least 3 partitions.

• (EFI System Partition)
• (Primary Partition)
• (Recovery/OEM Partition)

If you install from an OEM installation media there might(should?) be 4 partitions. Since there might(should?) be a Recovery partition and an OEM partition.

Installing Windows 10 on Lumia 920

I have a Lumia 920 mobile phone.
Found a list on the net with compatible phones that support Win 10. Mine is on that list.
Can't upgrade with the usual way.
Found help on this official website of developers for Windows Phones. It's a step by step no brainer thing. Most people are doing it. Except me. I can't get past point 6. http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10/general/howto-install-windows-10-phones-t3030105

"6.Connect to the same WiFi that your PC is on. Edit the settings for the WiFi connection to turn on the Proxy and set it to use the PC’s IP address and enter 8877 for the port "

7. Open Internet Explorer on your phone and navigate to http://[pc.ip.add.ress]:8877 where [pc.ip.add.ress] is the IP address of the PC running the WPInsidersHacks app
No idea what this means.I guess i need to access the router and modify some settings in there. Some guy on the forum told me " think he means to use the local IP address of the pc. Go to cmd and type ipconfig and look for ipv4 address. Should be somethin like 192/......"

I did connect my phone as always via wi-fi to my router. But i have no ideea how to use that proxy or how to make my phone have the same Ip as computer. I did start WPInsiderHacks app on pc. This is what it looks like




Theres also this official http://forums.windowscentral.com/nokia-lumia-920/341531-windows-10-preview-nokia-lumia-920-a.html
It says this :
1. Download the Windows Insider app.
Press ... > about > make sure Sys free space is 300MB or more.
If there isn't enough space, make full reset with Windows Phone Recovery Tool.

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn:7777

Download and install certificate.
3. Edit WiFi connection, enable Proxy

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn
7777

4. Open Insider app, click get builds
5. You will get Enroll page, do not Enroll yet!
6. Switch to WIFI settings, turn off proxy.
7. Switch to Windows Insider app and now you can enroll for Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Choose Fast option.
8. Check Settings > Phone update.
If it can't find updates, you may need to reboot your phone and enroll again (without a proxy now).

Same thing with the proxy. Anyways the more detailed steps on the DEV forum are much better i think .Cuz they put out more info on how to do it.

Can anybody help me with step 6 ?
