[QUOTE="Captain Holly, post: 1025924, member: 90494"] I must have done some serious damage yesterday monkeying around with the partitions and usb's. Restoring back to Monday did not work, I got an error message saying it might be due to my antivirus. My old Lenovo had BD Free on it. I removed it and decided to just wipe the drive and clean reinstall Windows. That didn't work either and all the error message on it said was Windows was unable to install. So I used the Lenovo One Key Recovery tool that restored the original partition and removed everything else. There wasn't much on the laptop to begin with anyway. It restored Windows back to version 1607 from 2018. Right now it's updating and a few of the updates are old too. It looks like it will take some time to bring the laptop back to the future but I am letting it cook for now. This is turning out to be quite an interesting learning experience for me. Lucky for me this old Lenovo is not my daily driver and it had no important data on it at all, so if I do blow it to Kingdom Come, it will not be any great loss. I do hope I can get the laptop and Linux both to work though. C H. [/QUOTE]
