Hello guys, my brother had this tablet for a short period of time and he upgraded it to windows 10, everything was fine but then he wanted to revert back to windows 8.1 so he wiped everything. After that nothing worked, he kept getting a partition error (missing partition) and could not do anything about it. He gave me the tablet in hopes of fixing it so i got a fresh copy of windows 8.1 from the microsoft downloader and put it on a pen drive. I also used to tool to make it into a bootable storage space and even injected the drivers from the CAB from the dell website using NTlite, but every time i start the setup the touch screen doesn't work (so i used a keyboard) and it also says media driver is missing. When i start the tablet without the usb i get missing hard disk error and can only access the BIOS and diagnostics check (shows no errors there).
This community has helped me before, hopefully they can help me again because i can't seem to wrap myself around the problem

Hi all,
I don't know if my problem as already been solved but I didn't found anything.
At first, I have to say I installed windows 8 as principal operating system (I know, it's stupid...).
I used windows 8 without big problem since the deployment but today, after a bug, I reboot the PC and now I have just black screen with the message "operating system missing"... The system does not boot, just black screen with the message
Does anybody have an idea how I can solve this problem ?
(Sorry for my english)
you can put dev preview DVD or USB whatever you used to install.
and run the installation and then repair Windows 8 (if it detects a Windows installed). with system restore or maybe it will repair. if not you will have to refresh your win8.
also it can be (if you have more hard drives) that you aren't starting the one with Windows 8. so you can try and see in bios if thats the case. thats when i have seen this message.
Thanks for your answer.
When I run the pc, it doesn't launch anything, just the black screen. It's probably the bios but I can't do anything, just the message but I'm not allowed to do anything :-(

Finally, the problem is quite solved.
When I have this message, by pushing ctrl+alt+suprr, if I'm enough fast, I can push F12 and choose wich part I want to run. Then I placed my W7 backup on CD and runned it.
It was not easy but W7 is successfull restored.
Of course, all my personal data were deleted...
But whe I reboot the PC, I've always the message "missing operating system", then I have to ctrl+alt+suprr and after F12, and then choose the hard drive, and the PC W7 boot.
It's not yet perfect but for the moment the PC works...
Thats exactly i told you. of course it changes between bios and motherboard. your problem is not your windows. its the priority of your harddrive.
I dont know what motherboard you have.
so i will find pictures to explain what you have to look for. because you didnt have to repair your Windows if thats the case. the problem its (like i mentioned) your harddrive priority.
so you go to your bios and look for the Boot section.

if you go to Boot Device Priority, you can check if your harddrive is second (the one with your OS) and if you want your cd or usb to boot first if not you can leave it first.
http://motherboards-reviews.com/ASU...s/ASUS_M4N78-AM_BIOS_Boot_Device_Priority.jpg
something like this.
and if that part is right you have to go to Hard disk drives
http://www.laptops-battery.co.uk/images/maintain/bios-boot-hard-disk-drives-445x261.jpg
so there you have to check if your harddrive is first or the correct one. and ready... its probably this Hard disk devices thing. and then you don't have to use that method of changing manually which boots
Thanks for your help
I'm not at home for the moment. I'll try your method tomorrow or wednesday, I'll let you know, but thank you for the time you spent on my problem.

hello last week my father had boughed a samsung ativ smart pc 500t because the device had windows 8 not 8.1 i told my father to update everything so he did as i told him and after the updates downloaded he restarted the device and the updates started installing and when the pc started it said ``failure configuring windows updates retrieving changes`` but its taking way to long so we force powered off the device and got into troubleshooting but when we wanted to restore or factory reset the tablet said `insert your window installation or recovery media to continue´
thats because there is no recovery partition.
the tablet came without keyboard so the only way to operate is by a external mouse and keyboard but the tablet has only one port please help as both me and my father do not know what to do and Ive tried to install a different system but the tablet does not see the card or any driver connected to it can someone please tell me what can i try now because I´m really clue less?
Aside from the obvious answer (take it back to the shop), you could try the nearly-as-obvious answers like "use a keyboard (because you don't actually need a mouse; use Tab to navigate between buttons and options, arrow keys to select stuff, and Space Bar or Enter to click)", "Use a USB hub, they're like $4 and will allow you to connect multiple peripherals at once", and "boot to Win8.x install media, because it will load the touchscreen driver for you". There are lots of places you can get install media for Windows; they only care about the product key so the bits are easy to find.
So, I know I botched the upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and when I boot the Trio PRO-8 it automatically goes to a Windows error screen with "press the Windows key to enter UEFI firmware settings. Error Code: 0x0000225"
There are several places to go, that tell you how to factory reset, enter boot mode on the Trio Stealth, but I have yet to find anything for the Trio PRO-8
Has anyone used or modified this device? I've contacted Trio, but I keep getting the run around because I mentioned Windows 10, they think I am still trying to install Windows 10 and keep telling me to call Microsoft. Microsoft can't help me with this issue, or I would have already known about it. There is no "Windows Key" on this tablet. All I want to do is figure out how to re-load either the Factory installed OS and start from the beginning, or install a fresh copy from the SD card.
The tablet itself, before I botched the upgrade WAS a decent little table especially getting it on sale on top of it being low cost, up until this point I had been using it regularly for the last 6 or 7 months without issue, maybe longer, can't remember how long I've had it now.
At any rate, I appreciate your time for reading this, and would be grateful to any help to get this thing back up and running before my Grandson comes up to visit next month, when he's here to visit, it is his movie player
With an adapter, I was able to hook up a USB keyboard, even pressing the Windows key did nothing. However, after trying every F key at boot, and a few others, I found that the [Esc] will get you in to the system's UEFI bios. I've been experimenting with settings. I left my card reader at work, but tomorrow I'm going to make the SD card bootable and put a LiNUX distro on it and install that over Windows. Since I don't know what my Windows 8.1 key was for this device.
Going this route because the keyboard has to be hooked up with an adapter and there is only one port. I may try a powered USB hub and see if I can boot from USB with the keyboard installed and a flash drive.

This post is probably no longer in the right forum now, especially if I outline the procedure I used to get LiNUX on to this Intel based tablet.

No luck as of yet:
- Can't get it to boot off of USB
- Can't get it to boot of the Micro SD card
- Will only boot to the Windows error message
- will keep trying
hi
Amigo gets a multi USB otg, a mini keyboard with pad and usb wireless connector. I have the same tablet trio pro 8 upgrade to windows 10 as well. I have another problem with the various touch screen controllers. I can not make it work. I am using it with the keyboard but I would like to use it free without loading keyboard.
Already solved your problem?
Hello.
My Lumia 950 dual sim went into boot loop and can't start. It shows Microsoft logo, then blue windows, vibrate once and again Microsoft logo. I tried key combination to hard reset - didn't work.
Then I tried with Windows Device Recovery Tool - it finished instalation, but nothing.
With Windows Phone Image Designer I flashed some ffu file for my phone - also nothing.
Does anyone have some idea how can I recover my phone.
Thanks in advance.
I had a similar problem with my 950XL when it installed a bad ROM sent out by Windows Insiders. After the 10th try or so with the Windows Device Recovery Tool the phone finally took it and I was back in business. If you are still having a problem you could try repeating the method several times. I did it as I had few resources available to me at the time, but it worked.
Thanks for reply.
I tried several times with WDRT, but today I'll keep trying.
Ya, keep trying, as I said it took me at least 10 tries to get it. After each fail I would start the next attempt without stopping. Anyway, good luck with this. They are still nice phones to carry around.

I spent many hours trying to get my device to fully load into Windows. Eventually, I removed the USB cable (I had been repeatedly trying to solve the issue using the Windows Device Recovery tool), and removed my SD card and my SIM card from the device. To my surprise, soon after I attached the battery and replaced the back cover, the device rebooted and entered the Windows language configuration screen. True, I had to reconfigure many settings, and there was also a problem in restoring from the online backup, but it does seem to work, although I have yet to power down and re-attach the SD card and SIM.
When I went into Phone update I could see that there are updates available - Windows 10 Mobile (10.0.14393.1066). I am hesitant to allow this to download in case it was this update which caused the issue previously.
Do any of you have this update already installed? Is it responsible for the issue we are discussing?
I just checked once again the information shown by the Windows Device Recovery tool. This is what it shows:
Model: Lumia 950 Dual SIM
Firmware version: 01078.00053.16236.35022
Operating system version: 10586.13169
I am rather confused - it says that this is the same version available on the server, and that I have the latest version, yet Windows informs me that Windows 10 Mobile (10.0.14393.1066) is available for download?????
Also, can anyone please tell me where to find the ROM downloaded by the Windows Device Recovery tool in Windows 10x64? I think it might be useful to have this stored as a ROM backup on another drive, in addition to the fact that being quite a large file it is presently taking up far too much space on my C: drive, so I would like to be able to delete it once I have backed it up to another drive.
Thank you.
David

Good luck
Hey guys,
I build a new pc, first new build in 20 years.
I’m using an ASUs tug gaming x670e plus WiFi motherboard with and 7800x3d cpu.
I’m stuck with the windows installation from usb.
First attempt I used a SanDisk 8gb stick and windows media creator. That’s right load, but looking back that was probably because of bios settings.
second attempt I used a leef 16gb stick. Art the verify stage at 99% it failed.
Third attempt save stick same method created the usb successfully. Had to pay around a lot with bios settings to get the stick seen as bootable. But during the windows installation it reported a file inaccessible or missing. Soo I put the stick in another machine to check but the file in question was there.
Soo I tried again, but now it cannot start up from the usb stick.
I’m in progress of creating an iso usb using the 8gb SanDisk drive, but I think I’m missing something significant.
I’ve attached my bios settings for booting.
If anyone can give some clarification, that would be greatly appreciated! If I can’t die this tonight I’ll bring it in a shop this weekend (just for a windows installation, sigh)
This... happy hunting.
Make a cloned copy of the disk once loaded and configured but before adding data, antivirus or trashware with Acronis to a spare hdd for easy OS restore.
*Redundantly backup critical data, first*
Separate data drives + OS drive are best plus the backup drives that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.
Managed to get an install.
Had to change a few bios settings (apparently one of the videos I watched for the right bios settings was the exact opposite of what was needed). Agassi used an iso stick.
That seemed to do the trick.
Thanks for the suggestions. It’s much appreciated.
I managed to get things installed. My issues were a combination of bad luck with my usb drives (and how the bootable stick was generated), as well as some poor advice on YouTube that told me the opposite of what was needed.
I also had problems obtaining an activation key legally, but that got resolved as well, so I finally managed to get my pc up and running.
Thanks again for the suggestions!
