Thought someone might find this funny.
(ltlftp etc)


I recently reset my Windows 10 Edu (Yes I'm supposed to have Edu, no its not a dodgy copy) with the built in refresh function.

It decided to, take some liberties, with partition letters.


To summarise:

C -> F , and added an extra recovery partition
F -> C

D -> Shrunk the volume by about 450GB, added a EFI partition at the end of the drive. Still D: though.
Disk 0 -> (my favourite) doesn't physically exist, but apparently I've spawned a 465GB drive from somewhere with an EFI and recovery partition and two data partitions, one of which is mapped as E, the other isn't mapped. Writing to the drive appears to work, but anything placed on it disappears after a reboot, including re-formatting it.


Do you think sacrificing a goat will be sufficient, or should I got straight for human sacrifices?

Well step one is to never do a reset.

Do a proper clean install if you want windows to work properly.
