Trouble is:

one day it stopped booting, after manufacturer logo nothing black screen whith that title: press any key to restart, no media found, remove any media.

after i formatted hole HDD with its partitions and ran clean installing.

i wrote windows normally, but it needs shuting down and up a very long time. also i has strange partitions , see screenshot below, there are such partitions: 1. 100MB - System, 2. 128MB - MSR (Reserved) and last one 298 GB Primary.

Sorry for the late reply, my wife had our baby :-)

The 100mb partition is normal, that is where windows puts the boot manger.

As why you have another partition for the D: I dont know, did you do that yourself?

Also did you do a check on the drive yet for bad sectors? That could explain why it had trouble to start with.

Hi, my congratulations, baby will be white hacker..:)

one day my earlier windows stopped booting up after windows logo, coz of that i decided to re-install a new clean windows and delete all partition and format it hole HDD, after i ran installing.
everything wen ok. but is trouble that it is in EFI mode and there is not to disable it into legacy mode.

i check bios but nothing is here, before i always was using a legacy mode, there is 2 option on first boot priority 1. windows boot manaeger and CD/DVD rom , before instead of Windows Boot Manager was something like that ST-HDD and numbers i did not remember it exactly now.

what happened with my notebook?

thanks for replay.

I hate EFI and I always turn it off. Every bios has a way to turn it off you just have to know where to look.

Some bios wont call it EFI, instead it will call it secure boot or something like that. But I always install windows with it off because if Windows goes down then repairing it just because a pain thanks to the EFI.
