  1. This is the boot menu. I have dual booted windows with Ubuntu. Windows on 250 GB SSD and Ubuntu on 500 GB HDD and the other 1 TB HDD is for windows storage.
    But my problem is when I remove the 500 GB HDD which has linux on it. This Ubuntu boot menu stills shows up in Boot Menu. Even if there is no hard drive connected in my PC still this Ubuntu option shows up. If I try to select this Ubuntu option if no HDD connected it just shows that select a boot drive with a black screen. But after connecting the 500GB drive it just boots Ubuntu normally.
    It was not like this before. This Ubuntu option used to go away when I used to remove the Ubuntu 500GB drive. Now it stays there for ever even with no drive.
    I am planning to install Manjaro KDE. But I am a little afraid to break something because it feels like its embedded somewhere in my BIOS and my BIOS also holds my windows 10 activation key, which I don't want to loose.
    This boot option acting a little weird. When I remove my windows 10 drive that UEFI boot option goes away. Can I fresh install Manjaro over it? I have 385GB NTFS for windows storage on 500 GB drive and rest 80 GB for Ubuntu. But now I learned a little bit about linux now I want to give 150 GB to linux with separate /home. I was thinking to delete the 80 GB partition from windows and then increase the size to 150 GB then install manjaro. But this boot menu scares me. Will this boot menu cause any problem?

    Thanks for replying. 

    My PC is from 2014 I guess. So almost everything is older. I recently installed a 1TB Seagate HDD along with a Samsung 860 EVO. Rest I have a LG optical drive, old 500GB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GT710 GPU. 2+2 GB RAM with Pentium G2030 and Gigabyte H61M-S mobo. My mobo is using older drivers as its system manufacture released its drivers on 2013 and never updated it.

    Edit: I did all the test and it shows test completely completed and no errors found. So I should be concerned or ignore those BSODs?

  3. Last night I was playing CS: GO and was not able to connect to a server so I rebooted my pc and then I tried to join that server and I am able to join it. Then after playing I shutdown my windows.
    Now in the morning I turned on my pc I saw a BSOD telling me that the system got an error and needs to reboot and it rebooted then I analized the memory dump file and the mini dump file and I am not able to know what caused that error. It happened twice so far after installing windows 10. I freshly installed it on 20th Jan 2020.
    Here is the memory.dmp and mini dmp (I have pasted it in pastebin)
    It would be great if someone can tell me what is the actual cause of the problem. Thank you.

    by the looks of it the system is hanging on boot trying to talk to the drive and when it gets no response it times out and carries on. take it back to the service center, explain what's going on and see if they can reproduce the issue.

     

    also, try disabling fast boot if you have that enabled, it can sometimes cause issues with drives not being picked up because it's not expecting to see any there

    Thanks for replying. But when you reboot even if fast boot enabled its gonna show the newly attached hdd right?

  5. Yesterday I went to a seagate service center with my 1TB Seagate Baracuda which had around 1976 bad sectors. They instantly replaced my HDD with a new Recertified one.

     

    I came home and try to install in my PC. But its not showing even in Disk management (I have windows in SSD). Nor in BIOS or Boot menu. Even if its the only HDD plugged in my PC not detected anywhere. I also tried installing windows 10 with a flash drive and in disk partition menu it shows no drive detected.

     

    I plugged my 500 GB HDD and booted Ubuntu from it (It had ubuntu in it). That 1 TB HDD not showing in gparted also.

     

    But one thing I noticed is when I plug my 1TB HDD its not detected anywhere but the motherboard logo shows for really long(around 30 seconds) when I boot the pc up. But when I remove my 1 Tb HDD that mobo logo just shows for like 2 seconds.

     

    Anything I can do to fix this error please help me.

    Actually, you will damage the SSD. As you fill an SSD, you start to run into write amplification because the controller has less space to work with for TRIM and garbage collection, resulting in increased writes as the contoller has to juggle cells and blocks to compensate for the lack of working space. If you fill an SSD more than 75-80%, you will reduce the remaining write life at an accelerated rate (thus damaging the SSDs write life) and the SSD will take a performance hit. 

    Its a flash drive (Pendrive). So do I need to worry?

  7. I have a 8 GB pendrive and I have some useless data on it which I don't care loosing. But it has around 240 MB free space and the windows shows that the pendrive is almost full and shows a red bar instead of blue. So, if I leave it like that forever completely filled. Will it damage my pendrive?

    Actually I have windows 10 and some drivers and softwares on it.

    Yes, SATA SSDs will work just fine. Also, the settings for AHCI, IDE or RAID - mode are found in your BIOS in the storage-devices settings. You'd most likely find your new SSD in your BIOS and then when you go and look at its settings, it'd offer the option to change IDE/RAID/AHCI for it.

    Thank you 

  9. I have this motherboard and I want to buy a SATA SSD 240 GB Kingston or maybe WD green. But this mobo is from 2013 I guess will it support these ssd? I heard something about ACHI must be there in BIOS. But I don't have complete knowledge about it. Can anyone tell will any ssd work in my pc? CPU is G2030.

  10. I got a new HDD Seagate Barracuda 1 TB this August 2019. And now I have 2016 bad sectors in it. My previous WD 1 TB HDD which was 1 year old also failed due to bad sectors. I wanted to ask why my new HDDs getting bad sectors so quickly. I shut down my pc properly and I do have a UPS so it won't shut down suddenly due to a powercut.

    My windows boot file is corrupted and it shows that windows not able to diagnose your pc and gave me option to restart or go to advanced menu and still I am not able to fix it. I think I need to reinstall windows.

    But still if someone have some knowledge why my HDD is dying so fast and getting bad sectors so quickly? A months ago it had around 150 bad sectors. But my 2nd 500 gb seagate hard drive which is almost 5 years old has no error or any bad sectors.

    Yes, me. (file is attached below)

     

    (I am a stranger on the internet and you have no idea if I am kosher or not, I trust me and would recommend me, but you should still be careful accepting system files from people you don't know and take the normal steps to protect yourself, I promise to you that I've changed nothing about this file, but still it's good to be careful)

     

    Also no idea if this is allowed (and am too lazy to check) so I apologise if it's not.  

    KBDUS.DLL

    Thank you

    That DLL is what runs the US Keyboard layout, two things to try before the nuclear option, test with a UK keyboard layout (go to language settings and tell windows that you use a UK keyboard) it will change the location of @ and " but they are otherwise pretty similar. See if that works, if it does then you've confirmed the issue, if not then still try this anyway, go to a known good PC and simply copy the DLL from that machine to your own (you can also download the DLL separately but only do that if you 100% trust the source). 

     

    I would try that first because a fresh windows install is rarely needed these days unless you are prone to fucking around with core system files without knowing what you are doing (or even if you know what you are doing, cause mistakes happen).


    Can you recommend any reputable source for KBDUS.DLL?

    Looks like a corrupted DLL file.

     

    Open CMD.exe as admin and type the following followed by the enter key:  sfc /scannow

     

    Reboot when it finishes and see if that fixed it. Otherwise, a clean install of Windows might be in order. I typically set a limit of 1-2 hours of troubleshooting

    thanks for your reply. How and where to set the time limit of troubleshooting?
