Hi
The flash drive already has the ISO on it.
If I open it in file explorer there are 4 directories, BOOT, EFI, SOURCES, & SUPPORT on the drive and 4 files, AUTORUN.INF, BOOTMGR, BOOTMGR,EFI, & SETUP.EXE.
Thanks

Hi,
You didn't answer exactly my question but I will assume that you used Rufus to create the bootable flash drive.
You need to repeat the task again but this time after running Rufus press the key combination ALT + E (only one time) on the status bar will see briefly the information "dual UEFI/BIOS mode", proceed with the same steps you did before to create the flash drive again.
This way the flash drive created will work for both cases when the computer is on UEFI or BIOS mode.
Hi,
Ok, the export part is what Windows 10 upgrade is trying to do and it also fail... lets try to fix it.
type the following commands:
d: cd boot attrib -h -r -s BCD ren BCD BCD.old Bootrec /rebuildbcd
When it asks you Add the installation to boot list?, press on y followed by Enter and if it succeed, you'll have a The operation completed successfully message. Once you're done, close the command prompt, restart your computer and try to upgrade again.
If any of those commands result in error, stop and tell me the error.
Hi
The Windows repair media was copied onto a memory stick not a cd.
Before I try to enter the commands that you have sent, must I cut a DVD from the memory stick?
Thanks

Hi,
Please boot the computer using the flash drive like you did to get the output on post #48
Hi,
The commands on post #49 even if they went totally wrong they only affect the boot process of the system and nothing like you describe!
The L drive matches the partition where the Windows installation resides, in your case because the drive letters change when in RE mode, so its Ok that bootrec found the OS there.
The problem you describe happens on the first boot after the change or did Windows start upgrading to a newer version?
Hi
Windows tried to upgrade, but the notification I got was that it was unsuccessful.
I have tried to reboot the computer, but it has not corrected the situation.
Please help!!!
I need the computer in order to carry on with projects on the go.
Thanks
Hi,
Do you remember when you type the command "Bootrec /rebuildbcd" how many Windows installations did it find?
If you access the folder Documents, etc. do you see your files?
I am not 100% certain, but I am certain nothing about Win 7 showed up on the screen.
Documents and Settings "C:\Documents and Settings is not accessible. Access Denied"
d: cd boot attrib -h -r -s BCD ren BCD BCD.new xcopy BCD.* e:\ ren BCD.old BCDRestart to windows and let me know the result.
Hi
Have just run the the commands in post 58.
Results are as follows
d:
cd boot
attrib -h -r -s BCD -"file not found"
ren BCD BCD.new - "system cannot find the specified file"
xcopy BCD.* e:\ - "D: BCD.old - 1 file copied"
ren BCD.old BCD - returned to : "D:\Boot"
On restart desktop still scrambled, Windows Icon on lower left still does not work, most icons will not open the respective programme.
Only found BCD.old on the flashdrive. Copy attached. Had to zip it otherwise could not attach it, not allowed
Thanks
