  1. Total disk wipe resulted in Windows reinstalling again


    Hiya. Basically, my Windows became a victim to a huge amount of viruses. I did a disk wipe and somehow when the wipe finished the Windows 10 reinstalled themselves again. My question here is why and how did that happen and is it actually safe to use the clean slate windows that got installed? (I did a full virus check, its apparently clean, but im still paranoid about using all of my info on it, since the viruses where mostly backdoor and info stealing trojans)

    :)

  2. Disk management console view is not up-to-date

    i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




    open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


    enter in
    DISKPART
    list disk

    then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
    type in

    Select Disk 7
    List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
    Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
    ASSIGN


    that should get the array up and running ready to use.


    EDITED.

    any problems, post back ^^


    Still EDITING *Stick Out Tongue Total disk wipe resulted in Windows reinstalling again :p

    side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

  3. reinstall after upgrade

    I have a Surface Pro that originally had Windows 8.1 Pro. I have installed the free Windows 10 upgrade, but I now want to reinstall it. I want to completely wipe my hard drive and install Windows 10. I know this can be done, but I need a list of steps to
    get everything necessary to reinstall Windows 10 (including exporting settings & preferences) and how to wipe my hard drive. Are there any good places to get a good detailed list of steps to do these things? Thanks.
