Hi all, long time listener, first time caller.
Was attempting a clean install of win 10 as the previous win 10 (perfectly working) upgrade left the old win 7 still on the C drive, and I wanted to start from scratch. Used same Rufus usb with which I created the win 10 image. This time though, I needed to format SSD as it would not load OS as it said it was MBR not GPT, so used diskpart and cleaned SSD. Load then all went well, but when it went to restart it ended up back in a loop at the first install page.
Took USB out and got 'reboot and select proper disk' error.
Have made sure SSD is first boot.
Have tried CMD to fix MBR using fixboot etc, but I think I may have been trying to do this from diskpart, so it has not worked. I will try tomorrow to do from X/ prompt
Tried the win 10 install troubleshoot and startup repair, but it said it could not be repaired.
Could it be a bios setting?
This usb and OS install ran perfectly up to today's reinstall.
Any ideas greatly appreciated, this is my music making machine and I need her back!
