SOLVED; Boot problem.
Interesting episode last night.
Wanted to copy some files from desktop to win7i laptop so I connected the USB drive with the backup files and the system clone to the laptop. Then I shut down the laptop and later restarted it. Wouldn't boot**,. Insisted on chkdsking me hard drive, Put me in Preparing Repair nnnn loop. I finally remembered the USB drive and I turned it off and restarted with ctrl-alt-delete. Now things are fine, but I was trying to boot from the win10 clone. It always takes much longer to boot the desktop, becasue there are more startup files. I wonder if I'd waited if win10 would have started. |

I have one external USB drive when plugged in prevents (or stalls for endless minutes) the bootup. I usually just unplug it and the boot begins within seconds. But just one drive. It's not a big issue and I don't troubleshoot it. It's just easier to remember to remove drives. |
