Running Windows 10 and have 2 windows 10 not booting black screen blinking cursor free download disks2 partitions each. Turned on computer and was stuck on a black screen with a blinking cursor. Searched for a solution online and determined I had bad sectors which prevented W10 from booting.
Did a chkdsk and found bad clusters in one of the partitions on the primary HD. Rebooted and was still stuck on the blinking cursor.
All to no avail. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Thanks in advance. BatMan Member. Nov 14, 4 You are booting in UEFI mode. The error message you are seeing is this : "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. Dec 12, 1, I suggest you keep the UEFI system. Plus an UEFI bios is more tweakable. The secret here is to delete all partitions on the disk before the actual install.
I suggest these steps to achieve an install that will sort this out. Ensure that you have only the target disk hooked up during the install. Insert the USB media tool, with the windows install files, into the board. On the motherboard boot device menu, select the command that identifies both the firmware mode and the media device. Install begins. When choosing an installation type, select Custom. On new disks, the drive will show a single area of unallocated space.
If there are partitions, select each one and then "delete". Select the unallocated space and click Next. NOTE: Any data on the drive will be lost. MBR is ancient dates from early 80's and should only be used if there is no other option.
