Hi,
Boot X:\ is the virtual drive created for the repair or installation...
I can't find any reference to the actual Boot X: drive/partition though...

I bought my PC years ago with only a HDD. I added a SSD myself afterwards. When I booted my PC after a hard shutdown/electricity fallout I had only my HDD in BIOS. I then boot from HDD, get an error and let the PC reboot. After a few times the SSD would be recognized in BIOS and I could change the SSD to default.
I got tired of this proccess a few days ago and found a tip to disable the hdd-partition with diskpart. The first time I had a hardreset again (mouse and keyboard froze and pc didn't shutdown with a single press on startbutton), I couldn't do the HDD boot-trick and tried changing the cables from hdd to ssd (ssd in sata1). This didn't help. In diskpart I made the SSD partition active. I now can see the SSD in BIOS, but booting gives an error "An operating system wasn't found.". When I retry diskpart, the partition could be made active again. It seems like this resets..
Bootrec.exe /FixMbr was successful
Bootrec.exe /FixBoot gives no access error (there could be some parts left of a dual boot setup)
chkdsk gives no problems found

Flash drive.
Hi,
I have found reference to the Boot X:, but not the actual file...
This was on the flash drive I booted with..
Is this booting with the flash drive or DVD ?
Hi,
And yes... it would be a good idea to delete all of the partitions on the HDD and reformat it to your choosing... All one partition, or several...
