[pfcooper]

yes, the pictures are easy. lol.
does it have to go to a cd or can a usb be used?

also,
I put a music cd in the dell and my eject button doesn't work,
I used to use right click and eject from file explorer,
I haven't found the cmd prompt to eject it. eject is not valid.
It's drive F:

I have the two downloads on usb in drive H: of the Dell
How do I launch the Imgburn from there?

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

You have to do that on a bootable computer. If you're using the USB, you don't need the ImgBurn.

so what do I need, just the SeaTools .iso file on a bootable usb
or
can I start it from cmd prompt somehow, sorry I'm not so advanced

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

No, first you need a bootable computer, do you have access to one?

I don't understand 3 Use the "Folder" icon in "Win32 Disk Imager" to browse the "SeaTools.img" file located in same folder.

do I type or drag something in the box? I Type in SeaTools.img and when I click on "write" I get a confirm request and a warning that writing on physical device can corrupt it???

 

[pfcooper]

OK, I copied the full path for the file and it created the usb, it has 10 files on it and the volume info.
I shall attempt boot from this usb on Dell

new problem on Dell:

my ubd drive does not show up in "use a Device"

it was there since we started this thread, I tested my usb that I created
for clean install. I ran it with blank product key and stopped the test before
copying files, don't know why it doesn't show now.

Is there a way to launch the first .exe that should start the scan?

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Okay, let me know. I will be going to bed now as I have obligations in the morning and am very tired.

Good night!

Let me see the properties of the drive in Computer.

Let me see the properties of the drive in Computer.

for the usb drive I created?

Kingston Data Traveler usb 3.0
32GB
FAT

I retried the usb media (Corsair 16GB) FAT32 and it wanted to boot from it.
the creation of the Kingston drive may have changed the format, could that be?

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Yes.

 

[pfcooper]

Yes.

I reformated to FAT32, recreated the SeaTools and yes the format was back at FAT,
what do you suggest now?

is there a cmd to launch on the auto repair

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Let's get you booted up and then we'll worry about testing! Download Media Creation Tool and get the iso for the USB drive.

I have it already and it boots but it will wipe the drive and I'm not sure I'll be able to re-activate.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

If the system is activated now, it will be able. If not automatically, via MS Support.
