Deleted Drivers - PC Doesn't Even Show DVD Drive To Install Software

Jun 1, 2015

This morning I downloaded windows 10. Installed and all that only to find that I couldn't connect to the Internet. I have a belkin USB adapter that allows me to connect wirelessly. The PC didn't recognize it and would not connect. So I connect my dvd drive again so I could reinstall the driver. Now the PC doesn't even show my dvd drive. So I cannot install the software and the it won't connect through Ethernet. I went to the store hoping to find a PCI express card so I could just slap it in and be connected. Walmart didn't carry the item so found this usb to Ethernet thing.

Files Deleted From Another Drive During Install

Jan 30, 2016

I just installed Win 10 and had backed up everything to a USB hard drive before doing so. Well it seems for some reason Win 10 removed my folder with all my work in it and also changed the folder and file permissions on that drive during installation. I talked to customer support and after spending an hour with tech support and not finding them, the person said it was impossible for Win 10 to do that and I was basically called a liar. So I'm having problem of win 10 altering or removing files on a drive it shouldn't even have been touching?

Can't Safely Eject External Hard Drive And Icon Doesn't Show Up In Task Bar

Nov 28, 2015

I just received my MSI laptop with Windows 10 and I'm still feeling around on how to use the new OS (upgraded from Windows 7). I plugged in my ext. HDD and something popped up asking something along the lines of "What do you want to do with this?". I was like "Okay, everything's going fine so far."

The problem came when I wanted to eject my HDD though. I couldn't find the icon in the little notifications area with the arrow. I couldn't eject the HDD from "This PC" either. In the end, I just unplugged it, since there wasn't anything too important on it.

I've tried enabling "Quick Removal" in the device manager, but that checkbox doesn't even show up. Instead, it's replaced with the "Write-caching policy" options. I've also tried turning the notifications on in the taskbar, but that doesn't work either. I turned on task manager, safely eject..., and location, but none of them show up. I've restarted my computer as well.

Drivers/Hardware :: New Install - Hard Drives Show Up As Removable

Jan 10, 2016

I just completed an update installation on a desktop PC running Windows 7. Now my hard drives show up as removable drives.

Normally this is due to the need to install an AHCI driver. And that is normally the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver for Intel chipsets. The driver was installed in Windows 7.

Is this a case where I need to manually install a new IRST Driver for Windows 10? If so, should I uninstall the existing first, or will the new one overwrite the old?

Drivers/Hardware :: Disc Drive Doesn't Work?

Jan 13, 2016

I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 a few months ago. Yesterday the disc drive stopped working. I put in a disc I had made which contained various data, mostly text. When I clicked the D recovery drive nothing happened. In the past I would see a list of the videos on the disk and by clicking one of the items I could play it on Movies and TV. Now that doesn't work. I can play videos that I've downloaded and are in my videos file, but not videos from the disc drive. I have an HP Pavilion slimline desktop computer.

Drivers/Hardware :: Install Second Hard Drive Hot?

Jan 8, 2016

I was under the impression that I was going to have a hard drive failure and purchased a new hard drive and cloned windows to it. it turned out my drive is fine, so I would like to use the drive as a second drive in my system.

if I just plug it in, will my computer boot from the now C: drive or will it boot from the second drive, since it is a bootable drive?

Or can I plug it in after it booted up?

it is installed and the power is connected, but the data cable is not.

I gave my C: drive a name so I can find it in file manager and don't format the wrong drive when I plug in the second drive.

Sep 11, 2015

I just upgraded my computer to Windows 10 from Windows 8. With Windows 8, my laptop would display a lock screen everytime I turn the computer on, whether it was from sleep or from being shut down. However, immediately after upgrading, my laptop began to skip the lock screen step. Is there a way to turn it back on?

When PC Is Locked Cannot Always Log Back In - Cursor Doesn't Show

Mar 5, 2016

I leave my pc running most of the day and it locks either manually (windows key + L) or locks through screensaver. After 10 mins the screen is set to turn off.

Sometimes when I move the mouse or tap the keyboard to wake the monitor it comes up with the logon screen but the password box is black rather than white which is ready to type in the password.

Nothing else works other than pressing the button on the pc to restart.

Multiple Instances Of G Drive In My PC Which Can't Be Deleted

Feb 25, 2016

So I have two storage drives, an SSD which has my OS on it and a hard drive. I was trying to set it so that all my documents, pictures etc would be stored on my HD and somehow (God knows how) managed to just create multiple copies of my HD (G: drive) in 'My PC' which can neither be rename nor deleted, completely failing to get my documents where I wanted. I've been trying for ages to get rid of them but so far all I've managed to do is accidentally change their name from 'G:' to 'Downloads'. as can be seen from this screenshot.

Customization :: Lock Screen Background Doesn't Show Up

Jul 30, 2015

Just installed Windows 10 on my primary laptop and the lock screen is a solid blue (if I change my theme color, the lock screen changes too). However, I have Windows Spotlight turned on. I've tried setting a static picture or slideshow as the background. I also confirmed that the files needed for Windows Spotlight are indeed downloaded onto my computer. It just refuses to change.It's worth noting that on my secondary computer with Windows Insider builds, I have, and have been having, the same problem.

Make Deleted Items From Another Drive Not Go Into Recycle Bin

Dec 7, 2015

I have two drives. One is an SDD, which is where my windows installation is. The other is an HDD, which is where I keep a lot of large files. Whenever I delete something on my HDD, Windows copies it onto my SSD before deleting it (by moving it to the recycle bin). I do not want this to happen. I want it to either move the recycle bin to my HDD or don't copy it into a recycle bin at all. How can I do this?

Action Centre Doesn't Show Notification Toasts Or Sounds

Aug 5, 2015

Since upgrading to Win10 I've noticed as in the title, my action centre won't play any sounds or toast banner notify me at all. When I get an email in gmail, I'll see the icon in the taskbar go white, but absolutely no sounds or anything.

I've checked the settings and they're turned on, so I'm at a loss at what could cause it. Quiet hours are off as well.

Searching Start Menu Doesn't Show Results From All Drives

Sep 11, 2015

I have two drives, an SSD (with Windows on) and a hard drive (with all my files on).

When using the start menu to search for something, it will only show results that are on my SSD. This is annoying as the majority of the things I'm looking for when searching are on my HDD, so I have to open explorer and go through all my documents trying to find the single file I'm looking for.

I was previously advised to change my indexing options. I've changed my indexing options to include my hard drive when searching, but it has still not changed.

Here's what my indexing options look like .....

Laptop Doesn't Boot Because OS Is On D Drive Instead Of C Drive

Oct 18, 2015

My laptop doesn't boot because OS is on E: drive instead of C: drive

When I try to boot it up (it somehow boots up as windows 8.1 instead of my OS windows 10), it gives a BSoD and shows the error code 0xc000021a. I created a bootable USB drive with windows 10 pro on it, but it shows my OS as windows 8.1 instead of 10, and it doesn't allow me to restore or do a startup repair, because they both fail.

Booting up:

Repair shows windows 8.1 instead of 10:
