Hi Bug, I see this all the time.* It "typically" (watch the weasel word) means the bios can't find anything to boot off of. Get yourself a W10 install flash drive and boot off it. You can create a W10 install flash drive from your Mint stick.* Let me know if you need directions Go into to maintenance and run the repair boot thingy: Windows 10 Won’t Boot? Fix it with Startup Repair and BootRec Commands By https://www.groovypost.com/howto/fix...epair-bootrec/ And if it works, you got lucky. And if you got lucky, DO NOT TEST FATE!* Replace your hard drive.* Now is a good excuse to upgrade to an SSD drive! :-) -T What kind of machine did you write your post on? A W10 desktop. Thanks for your messages, now I know I can replace the Corrupt harddisc for a SSD. There is a silver lining in every cloud! If replacing with an NVMe SSD drive, keep in mind they REQUIRE EUFI and gpt partitioning. W10's installer will take care of all that for you, but the BIOS must support EUFI and GPT.* (I do not know why a motherboard with an NVMe slot would not support EUFI adn gpt, but ...) NVMe is ~ twice as fast as a SATA SSD drive Oh, only go with Samsung SSD drives. The cost a bit more but they don't brick on your ass. It's funny that mechanical hard drives are still more reliable than SSDs. That's why SSDs are not used in enterprise systems. How fast are SAS hard drives compared to SSDs? |

"Seagate reveals worlds fastest SSD - 10GB per second" https://www.computerworld.com/articl...stest-ssd.html That uses all 16 lanes of your video card slot. At a guess, PCI Express Revision 3 lanes. Due to the buffer size on the bus hub in the chipset, the interface cannot run at wire speed. OK, now do the math for us, and tell us how many SAS drives in RAID0 that would take to equal. And that's not the fastest drive, it's the fastest drive we're allowed to know about. Paul |
