WD NTFS DRIVER FOR MAC FOR MAC OS X
Graphics driver updated for Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10 (14A389) Contains performance improvements and bug fixes for a wide range of applications. Was running windows 10 64bit (up to date) The WD Drive Manager Installer contained within the zip file installs the Drive related light, button, and RAID Manager functionality program for Mac OS 10.4.x or higher. *Takes shot* Because what else can you do at this point smh.Ĭurrently running memtest86+ sitting at 45 minutes in at 69% with 0 errors. Went into diskpart, cleaned it, created the partition, started formatting and then at around 25-30% complete got a BSOD. Read somewhere that the drive you are installing to could have bad sectors so to reduce the chances of writing to those sectors to reduce the drive size. Waited for windows to load all files and then removed everything but the power and HDMI (yes including the thumb drive) Hit about 7% install (hope was in sight) and then again said missing files. Read there could be conflicting driver that removing all peripherals may help as they may be somehow conflicting. Thought maybe it was a bad image so I ran the install on the thumb drive again and again the same thing happened. I have a WD Passport external hard drive, formatted in NTFS which i used with a Windows laptop before switching to a mac, I installed the Paragon NTFS driver to enable read / write to and from the drive. Windows loaded the files 100% and then errored out at around 3-5% during install saying there were missing files. Hi, first thanks for the replies to the other thread. Error winload.efi was missingįormatted the drive in NTFS and installed windows onto the thumb drive again.
Installed a fresh copy of windows installer onto a thumb drive. Took out my main M.2 drive with the data I need to save (yeah I know, I should have backed up) to install windows on my secondary to then put my main drive back in, get my files and then wipe the entire thing and start fresh. Set the bios to defaults in case something was messed up in there. Here are some of the troubleshooting steps I have taken, I'm sure I am missing some. I should note that this happened after I updated the driver for my motherboard (yes they were the correct drivers). Then 3 days ago it happened again and turned into a startup repair loop that couldn't repair. They would happen every few days to a week apart or sometimes hours apart.
So random BSOD's have been happening for a couple months now, I have been busy with work and family so I haven't had the time to troubleshoot. Middle of the road, I know more hardware than software but can navigate DOS.
