Thanks Crysta,

I have recovery images on an external HD that is unplugged after each backup. When plugged in it will show them but stops when trying to load them & returns to

I have new bootable ISO 1709 USB thumb drives made directly from the MS site yesterday. I also have a unused new copy of Windows 10 Pro. These all show up on my other comps fine & try to load. But will not even attempt to load on the bricked up comp with blue screen.

Also inside of this drive X: I have several system backups that it won't identify now. I back the system up 2-3 times a week. There are no bad sectors on the internal HD & all files show no problems in scans.

As soon as you turn on that comp it goes in to automatic repair mode then to blue "Choose an option" screen. None of the options or advanced options work except command prompt. The comp will not go past this point so I can't get a screen copy. In DiskPart I get a list of drives C - H, with 1 being the DVDRW & the rest being on 1 HD. I do not have multi drives hooked to that comp. The update formed my HD into 5 drives = 1 OS, 1 system, 1 HP recovery & 2 unknown small drives (4 unchangeable partitions now). Partition Magic or my repair disk couldn't even break them up.

I know it sounds like it would be simple to load something, but it will only run my repair disk & Partition Magic which can make no changes to that system now. The HD is good, the backups are good, the USB ISO drive is good, the Win 10 updates caused a "Meltdown" of that comp.

Thanks again.

Do you have a Smartphone or Camera to take a reasonable HD ScreenShots(forgot to mention it as an option). At this point I am am not sure how much it will help but try anyway.

How do you make these Recovery Images? For example I am using Paragon 2015, HDM 15, I load it into memory from an USB Drive as a Bootable. I access my Images which are on internal drives or on my Network through Paragon HDM in WinPE which is only running in memory.

I am unfamiliar with a system that one just plobs a Drive ladened with OS Images on it, via USB and expect it to do something????

I am not going to guess at all, with any of this, SPECIFICS, SPECIFICS, SPECIFICS.

My Crystal Ball broke when I was born, and I have never got beyond FAILURE when it comes to mind reading.

Have you tried one of your USB ISO drives that is 1709 and go into Troubleshoot or Repair? 

I AM NOT ASKING YOU TO DO ANYTHING, JUST LOOK UP TO, BUT NOT INCLUDING IMPLEMENTATION. 

It might give you a different view of your system. If you to not have any other Recovery system that will work, you might need to try a Repair. I just don't want you make things worse until you are ready to blow your bricked Image away.

However, if you can get a working system again, Like you are used to, you still have your images that I do not understand at all but you seem to.

I know I am sort of like slashing at the air, but we don't seem to have allot of choices......

PS Update: How do you usually use that HP Recovery Partition?

If you have a recent computer, you may have Secure boot set in BIOS.  This will prevent you from booting from an external device.

If you just want to get your system bootable and recover from backup without regard to what is currently on the drive, the easiest way to do that is a system reset.

after a couple of blue screens, the PC should go into startup repair.  select advance options and do the system reset.  You can then boot normally and it retains your latest data.  You can backup your latest data if you need it.  Then restore the drive from one of your backups.

If you have a recent PC, it may be set to secure boot in the UEFI BIOS.  to boot from an external device, you will need to change that BIOS Option. 

You will need to fail the boot and go into Advanced Recovery Options and  one of the options is to change UEFI options which will get you into BIOS.  Turn off secure boot to enable booting from an external device.

The HP recovery partition will put you back to whatever version of windows that the system shipped with. depending on your model, you can get to it through F11 at the initial HP screen or if you have a UEFI BIOS you will need to turn off secure boot as described above. Once secure boot is off you will have more boot options and should be able to enter recovery mode.

HP recovery will generally erase your drive and give you an old version of windows and all the original programs that the system shipped with. Then you will then need to upgrade with your flash drive.
