    Windows shut down and now says I need disk.


    I recently purchased a computer second hand with a legit copy of windows 10. All worked fine. It shut down on its own and then would never load windows properly. It just kept thinking at the welcome screen. I decided to repair it via last restore point. It worked. Used it all day. Then it shut down on its own again and anytime I try and start it I get a screen saying system 32 is missing something and I need the windows disk to correct it. I don’t have a disk. The program came on the computer. The computer is now useless. What can I do? And why did this happen?

    :)

  3. 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 Windows shut down and now says I need disk. :p

    side question, have you tried restarting the PC?
