  1. Im with 8.1, i forgot to point out difference.. I should have all last updates. Where are some logs to check for errors?
  2. Hello, i want to upgrade existing installation of Win 8 64bit to Win 10 with upgrade assistant i always get error 0x8007003, shortly after start of step check you computer if is ready to run Windows 10. I found zillion of contradicting destriptions of this error and lots of paid sure it will help utilities. Its possible somehow this check skip or has someone knowledge that this error really means, i hoped that is connected with my Linux etc partitions, so i deleted them for next run, but its still the same error.. Best thing is that, you have to next try redownload again and installation files, that is flawed by the design and its only time steal..
  3. I fixed it with HasLeo UEFI utility run from Win10ToGo-EFI USB flashdisk. There really has to be some table.. i dunno if on EFI partition or in Bios - i guess that probably in BIOS.. where is list of possible EFI entrie.. HasLeo just read it and can edit it.. I saw here my Androidx86, Ubuntu, MacOS(Clover), USB and LAN1 boot entries, but not any Windows entry.. So i clicked on Plus button to add item.. Windows Boot manager entry wasnt available, but even i select in combobox Other /Linux entries i can point to EFI\Microssoft\boot files.. (selected windows efi files.. i dunno why there are 2 of them expect memtest.efi .. for me is working that with mgrF in name, but i did not have reason test second one )add entry.. shift in on first place in table.. rebooted and its working.. I fill add picture later. This GUI way its much cleaner and everything make sense instead of these commands with sometimes awkward errors and.. any info about that table which matters. But yeah you have to Pay for it.. except one time fix in trial and there would be classic licencing hell - licence per machine / licence expiration - new would need to buy new licence etc.. So shame to MS do dont such utility for free and shame to Community to develop something like that for free, its quite essential.
  4. Run Windows PAE patch for enough memory - run Virtual virtual with OS which is supporting Skype within or Unity window mode (Vmware only) its behaves as normal Window.
  5. My advice is install it standard way by using cheap PCI-E Sata controller wich has IDE bios its less than < 10$ from eBay. After that you can play whole day with Fernando drivers to make it working with second, after it would work for second hdd, you can use it also for primary HDD. Its much more user friendly than fiddle with CD image.
  6. Im no more by that machine for few days. Thanks, as i wrote, i was able after second try run this: bcdboot C:\Windows /l en-us /s k: /f ALL But \EFI\Microsoft\Boot exist, but there is also EFI\Boot there were 2 efi files, when i deleted i no more get grub error, so i suppose they were from Grub... now im getting insert bootable media error, i tried to copy EFI\Microsoft\ or EFI\Microsoft\Boot im not sure into EFI\Boot but no change.. My layout: EFI is first partition, i have there paritions - EFI, System restore or something like that small Windows 8 recovery partition and main WIn8 system partition. So EFI\Boot has higher priority or is somewhere linked to start.. There has to be some linking because with normal desktop MB i can select by HasLeo which EFI entry should boot as primary. I now have Win10 to go USB in EFI mode so i would try HasLeo, i find old free version, no its paid think. I really dont now any other SW which so able to do same thing.. Its like MBR 4 slots.. only few applications where handle that table, but it was needed for some OS to boot. There is lots of unknow about it.. or its quite complex.. that why im searching some tool. If would knew that Easy recovery for WIndows 8 is able to fix it and would buy it..
  7. What is exactly Chrome 360?
  8. Hmm, i completed tutorial i tried it once more (i between only run chkdsk and checked content of C, created bcd directory in Win 8 root). But im still getting grub code at the start. all bootrec options executed, include fixmbx all successful.. error no such partition Entenring rescue mode. grub rescue> So there still some grub code which is started, or entry which need to be rewriten, wasnt rewriten.. Now its low level, i dont really understand where is defined what EFI is starting and how to change it..
  9. Ok, tried it hard way.. and as expected, im lost in the woods of command. I copied EFI partition from original disc with all Clover, Grub, MS stuff, im able to find partition, assign it to letter etc. From this tutorial: http://woshub.com/how-to-repair-uefi-bootloader-in-windows-8/ Everything si fine until this one: bcdboot C:\Windows /l en-us /s k: /f ALL Here im getting: Failure of copy data.. // no error code, just this message Question is there are some specific EFI version of Windows 8 install disc? Toshiba dosent not provide some spefic Windows 8 install CD, so i just used some generic Windows 8 Pro CD Its ok that i used Rufus for creation of Windows 8 USB boot flashdrive?
  10. Thanks. I hoped that its quite often problem so exist some start and run boot cd to fix it, like Boot repair cd for Linux, i dont really want to knowledge, my business is elsewhere, im not admin or something as probably you, i just want to make it working. If create whole partition is problem, there is not simple 1 command / tool for it, is not better to way just copy something from EFI partition\Microsoft folder to other folder? What about Live Windows 10 to go USB and Hasleo EasyUEFI? Im using it when i need to change which EFI file should start, but im not sure if it will run from live USB. I trying to avoid partitioning etc from MS boot cds, because there are lots for my strange rules, when i cant do operations which are otherwise valid and also interface - Windows terminal as output sucks. For example i refuse to anything with bcdedit, because on some machines its simply not starting or working.. what for example why im using Paragon or Boot repair cds, which are able to deal with it. In reverse thinking, if is something so easy for user, why someone just write to script to fix it for everyone, this is not something too specific with zillions parameters, just check windows partition for target Windows version and ask its right one and copy EFI files to right place and it is needed something more like edit some config write few lines there. Im here simply to ask experts if there is simple way, if not well i can stay with Win8 or wait until someone will create something what i want, or at least i will know that is not thing which i could do quickly.
  11. Thanks, but its too general and lowlevel. Its BCDboot working from Windows 8 boot USB? Is line bellow what i need? bcdboot C:\Windows /s S: How to discover what partition is system S partititon to replace letter in code? Does it create partition, or it has to exist?
  12. Hello, i had problem with upgrading from Windows 8 to Windows 10 on my Toshiba Z20 convertable, because i had installed some Linux and MacOS on it and Microsoft is sniffing around and error code is generic i now upgraded internal storage to something bigger (i copied only Windows 8 partition for try), i just need to create Windows 8 EFI boot partition or somehow change to start Windows EFi instead of Grub which is targeted on now present partition. I now that desktop MBs have such prosssibility to select which EFI file would be started in EFI, but Toshiba has no such option, with lastest bios so some default EFI path is started, when i looked at EFI partition, there are lots of folder and i dunno which is default and which Microsoft files i should copy here. With Paragon USB booting Tool i can move files here, i same i guess with some Live USB Linux. I though that there would be some easy Windows 8 cd EFI partion repair options, but its not. I tried Paragon Windows boot repair, but its not erase that Grub code and other MBR codes repairs utilities are not for GPT EFI discs. So im looking for other way. Tutorial are usually about just restore accidentally erased EFI partition.
  13. Hello, i installed drivers pack "distro" is nice, but i have problem that dvd rw is in device manager 8 times.. i dunno how to remove it, when i remove it its redetected its Super Socket 7 MB with ALI Aladdin V chipset. Picture: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7icbe408tgxvd29/2019-06-30 16.20.11-Win98-8TimeDVD-ROM.jpg?dl=0
  14. Intel HD audio is no go.. my would need USB sound card and some USB ethernet and wireless adapter and which is working with Windows 98.. But regardless with such setup i would say that Virtualization is better, physical machine have sense mainly for good 3D graphics experience => games, i doubt that some would still model under Windows 98 or something like that.
  15. I did complete reinstall i installed old driver which worked before and its still not working, i dont understand it.. One more symptom is: Ipconfig prints: IP ConfigurationFatal Error Cannou read IP configuration
  16. It happens me again, some problem. Now its back in era old Super Socket K6-II machine and with Realtek 8139 PCI and clean Windows 98 Second Edition install. I installed Windows, there was no driver for NIC on CD, so nothing. I have installed old realtek driver for this nic from 1998, which i had on disk. Later i wanted to tune driver and it tried to install newer driver, it installed well, no conflicts, but again, i had some old problem. So there not problem with some network speed tuners for windows 98, with some updates or SP3 etc.. its broken i clean system. Machine is quite clean only Virge video card and network card.. Networking in DOS with native packet driver its still working, so card is fine and machine is fine. Ping with hostname - unknow host. Ping with ip address error 10043. So i tried to comeback to old driver which worked, and i have exactly some problem, as with other machines, once this broke im unable to fix it.. I still don have any exclamation marks in system, in Safe mode are not any leftovers of old nics etc. Even when now exclamation marks, i tried to change addresses for device, i was supprised that was some unmarked conflict with some Video card alias and VIA IDE alias.. but even when i try to change ranges its still the same. Any ideas?
  17. I have some Gigabyte and Asrock boards (Z97 / Z170), where connector is working for both device in parallel, but there is in Bios feature enable PS/2 Y cable or something like this. Rayer said that something is not possible because of missing wires and he had to do MB modification and add wires.
  18. I wonder if is possible to add PS/2 Y cable support to GA-X79-UP4 ? I tried 2 proven Y cable but only keyboard is working.
  19. @bearwindows Can you add support for Intel 219-V PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_15B8&SUBSYS_E0001458&REV_00 ? If not ovelooked something, you driver is only up to 218?
  20. Someone found any work around? It seems that after that update Miranda / Pidgin are not working too, Web version give me -- that my browsers arent support.
  21. 10Gbit, so which cards are supported - i mean which consumer cards with rj45? NVME i know. https://email.seznam.cz/#inbox/43283
  22. Thank you very much, it just worked.. I wonder how such magic was done, just some ids replacement or some coding involved? Is this driver only for 218-V or it would work for all Intels 21x cards? Because im greeding, what about driver for some 10Gbit internet for XP? I think that they becoming finally available for reasonable price, and now when SSD are cheap and we are maybe to boot XP from NVME, that 15 years old 1Gbit speed finnaly starting to be bottleneck..
  23. Thanks, did you test it? I already tested some drivers, but their were not working.
  24. Not really, i always thought that there is some software CPU overhead for USB devices with high traffic, and that ping etc would be worse. Maybe im wrong. Driver could be problem too, but something with Realtek would be probably work from XP to Win10, in Mac OS and Linux. I even have one such adapter, but annoying is that is reported also as some USB CD drive, or something like that in the bios.. probably because these some storage with driver or something like that. Its annoying. There also USB limits, USB is 48 MB/s i need Gigabit so only USB3 and XP USB3 drivers are problematic.. I didnt tested it, but i doubt that cheap VIA USB3 controller, with USB LAN can make 90-100 MB/s network copying speed.. i can be wrong. Maybe, maybe ASM or Fresco chipsets.
  25. Any news or progress with this, its annoying have to fill some precious pci-e slot with just NIC.. Otherwise i found similar thread - no success: https://www.win-raid.com/t3280f45-Intel-i-v-driver-ASUS-motherboard.html On Blackwing site seems to be some modified driver, but i not able to identify any download link with Google translated version of page: http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/1883591.html
