    Hi mesh - now I am no where near as tech savvy as some of the guys on here, but if this were me I would take the drive out, use a data /usb converter and try it on another computer to see if the drive was still ok - if it was I would copy it very quickly 😁😙😏😏quickquilyquickquicklyquiquicklyquickquicklyq

    Thanks Nigel,  I was thinking of doing something similar....at least taking the drive out and reconnecting it. Been so busy with work, I've neglected my DAW....😟

    With no proper driver the Toshiba drive would be invisible to the OS so the utility would not be able to work against it.

    That "Update" tab in the last screenshot looks promising...I don't know if I would bother to back up a driver that doesn't work but hey, it's not a lot of space. 

    That's what I don't get....it says it has the "Latest" driver installed, but yet requiring the drive to be formatted??

    Get Glary Utilities HERE (the free version is all you need).  When you're installing, I recommend turning off all check-boxes.  Once installed, feel free to go to the 1-Click Maintenance tab, select all the boxes you want (I usually select all of them except Tracks Eraser), and run an initial system check.

    Once that's done, go to the Advanced Tools tab, select Optimize & Improve and then Check Disk (this is just like your usual chkdsk except I've found it works better).  I prefer to schedule the disk checks to occur during the next reboot to ensure nothing is accessing the drive.  You'll want to check the two boxes at the bottom ("Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors").

    Once the disk check has finished, try the Windows 10 update again.  If it fails agin, it should give you an error code.  If it does, post what it is.  I've got ways to fix at least a couple of dozen of these.

    Good luck! 🧙‍♂️

    Thanks Craig! 

    I ran Glary (Check Disk) and it only checked 3 of the  4 drives (didn't  check the F: drive (Toshiba)).

  4. I've been trying to update to the latest version of Windows (1909) for last month and it usually goes to  99% on the update,  and then says it 'cannot complete the update, undoing changes'.  This morning I updated/rebooted and for some reason, it actually successfully updated (Feature Updates).....at least that's what it show in  the Update History. Checking the System/About: still shows Version 1903   (installed on 8/29/2019)  ??

     

    Anyway, my problem is   my HDD Projects drive (F:) shows it needs to be formatted although it's an old drive that's been in the system for years and hasn't been disconnected or done anything to it.    

    I checked in Device Manager/Properties/Events and it shows this:

    Device SCSI\Disk&Ven_TOSHIBA&Prod_DT01ACA300\4&1a58a66f&0&000000 was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match.  

    Checked windows to update the driver and says I have the latest....also wanted to try 'Roll Back Driver' option, but that's greyed out can't roll back. I really need to get access to this drive as CbB takes awhile to load up (although I've temporarily redirected it to another drive for projects), and would like to know how to fix this?

    All of this started  after I tried to update Win10   🤦‍♂️

    Thanks all!

    Thanks for the info Mesh.

    Looks like the updates are coming thick and fast - good to know that the dev is on the case!

    That's definitely a good thing  to see (fixing bugs asap)....certainly helps when buying  and/or supporting them.

    Yes!  That's the frustrating part, Zo.  They fixed one bug and introduced another.

     

    On the plus side, they're on top of the updates/bug fixes and they've always been good with that.  I just got it and looking forward to using this. :)

  7. Larry has many aliases and depending on each situation, they simply manifest themselves.

    @cclarry do you have Edu proof ? If so time and space is he place !!  Just got mine for a great price !! 

    Did you use a cupon code for Time  & Space? It's $149

    Best Service has it for $136 

  9. Sorry to see that Keni, but I do share your pain. Just this past week, tried to update Win10 (so I could use the latest version of CbB) and caused nothing but problems with the update. Had to revert back to an earlier date and still can't get into CbB...also, messed up the software (Citrix) I use to work from home and had to come into the office today.

    Anyway, hope you get your issue fixed.
