how do I select that disk ? when I type diskpart, the prompt changes to diskpart and list disk works, but not the other command.So, if you first select that disk, and then list partition, it doesn't show any partitions?
Yes, thats the "hidden system" partition thats always first on a win disk.Is volume 2 on the same disk?
1. list disk
2. select disk x where x is the number for target disk
3. list partition
4. select partition x where x is the 100 MB hidden partition
5. delete partition override
6. create partition efi
7. format fs=fat32 quick
8. assign letter=d since that's the letter above
9. exit diskpart by typing exit
10. type bcdboot e:\windows /l en-us /s d: /f UEFI
Your windows install will end up being c:will letter D change the windows boot letter ? it has to be CC or all the software will not run
I am up to that step and no errors so far
First, I REALLY want to thank you, it worked ! Why could windows not do this ? tHE DRIVE LETTERS OTHER THAN c ARE ALL MESSED UP, BUT i AM SURE i CAN FIX THEM.\\Your windows install will end up being c:
You're welcome. Windows startup repair does very little. I do this type of stuff daily.First, I REALLY want to thank you, it worked ! Why could windows not do this ? tHE DRIVE LETTERS OTHER THAN c ARE ALL MESSED UP, BUT i AM SURE i CAN FIX THEM.\\

Its doing windows updates right now. and I verified the 3070 video drivers,.You're welcome. Windows startup repair does very little. I do this type of stuff daily.
She should be - it's a nice upgrade.Its doing windows updates right now. and I verified the 3070 video drivers,.
She is going from a 4930 with 16 gig ram (single channel), 1tb sata SSD a 1.5 TB spinner and a 2 tb usb backup drive.
to
a 5950x with 32 gig ram dual channel, a 2 tb nvme PCIE 4.0, and a 4 tb sata 3 SSD. Oh, and from a 1070 to a 3070 video card.
Think she will be happy with the speed upgrade ??
the picture above is ONLY the 2 TB installed. So what you are asking is exactly what I have above ?? I need step 6,7 right ? I mean its exactly what I did before.Disconnect all except the 2 TB and boot off a Windows install USB drive. It'll then be disk 0. Select it. Then list partition. Delete the 500 MB partition. You'll probably need to use "override". You can select the partition that's labelled EFI and then skip to step 8. After booting, expand the OS partition to use all BUT about 800 MB. lmk when you're at that point.
Yes, that's what you would see. You don't need steps 5, 6 or 7 because this time you already have an EFI partition. Last time we needed to create one.the picture above is ONLY the 2 TB installed. So what you are asking is exactly what I have above ?? I need step 6,7 right ? I mean its exactly what I did before.
