Unstable Win7/Pro x64 - First Post in Wrong Forum Perhaps?
I am still learning my way around the forum. I can't see how to move a post to a different one. I do not want to get banned for cross-posting or some other inadvertent misbehavior.
I posted this on the General Discussion Forum:
Win7/Pro x64 - Increasingly Unstable - Applications Crash on Save
As he helped me to create a copy of my data disk on he suggested that I should have posted here when I first asked.
Win7/Pro x64 - Booting Very Slow - Cannot Save Files
in the last paragraph of #37 in this thread.
My most recent bit of evidence is that most of my PC must be running 'fine' because I shut down and changed boot drives (I have Win7 on one SSD and Win10 on a second) and Win 10 boots quickly and apparently stably.
When I tried to switch back to Win7, knowing that it would take ~5 minutes to boot, I walked off. When I came back I discovered that it must of automatically moved to chkdsk mode and it was in the process of 'replacing invalid security ID with default security ID for every file.' A quick search here says that my PC is going to be busy for about 24 hours as it completes this process.
Argh!
thanks in advance
