Please help! Nobody??

[Quinternet]

So, after a few months successfully playing with Windows 10 on my X98 Pro, I want back to Android. How can I install Android back?

Hope someone can help me.

Yes! I’m there!!

I booted the tablet from a Windows pen drive using:

All drivers were available here, so I used those.

I had to fight some challenges though, the touchscreen was all messed up (up side down), but this was just until Windows updated the display drivers itself. I couldn’t install some drivers at all because they weren’t signed (for example: camera). That was easy to fix, I disabled the sign check of Windows 10, rebooted and installed all drivers anyway.

So now I’m the proud owner of a native Windows 10 Home tablet with one large (58GB) partition.

Oh yeah: I backed up the Windows 10 key, but Windows had no trouble activating itself, so no issue there

Hi,

There’s something different now. I cán boot from Windows 10 USB without getting the ACPI error. Strange but true. I’m holding back now because I read somewhere I will need drivers and stuff, so…. Do you know which drivers exactly?

To answer your questions: I tried to boot from a 64 bits Windows USB. And I’m running 64bits now as well..

Good… The questions I asked were:

1. When you prepared the USB stick that screwed things up did you use 64bit or 32bit version?

               -> I didn’t screw things up by using a USB-stick, I just deleted partitions using Windows Disk manager. After that everything went wrong (as you know)

1. Did you try to install or did just booting it cause the issue?

-> See above

So onto partition jenga… You should keep the NTFS; EFI System Partitions and recovery partition. Since it won’t buy you much I’d leave the first 100MB partition too. I can’t promise it’ll be OK but I think you can remove the rest, which nets you something like 24GB. If it doesn’t start after removing those you know what to do <noscript>&lt;img src=”//techtablets.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/simple-smile.png” alt=”:-)” class=”wp-smiley” style=”height: 1em; max-height: 1em;”/&gt;</noscript>if it does then it’s probably a good idea to untick the little checkbox on the Android/Windows boot menu. Btw, can you live with two partitions or do you really need one?

Current status:

I deleted the 20GB partition (Android) again and created an extra volume. This works, but the end goal was to create one large partition. This doesn’t work using a partition manager :-(. So….. I’d like to find a way to install only Windows 10….

This version of Windows I’m using right now seems to be a little different. I hope I didn’t download a buggy version. Time will tell.

Bottom line: How do I create the situation in which I can use the entire disk (64GB) for one Windows installation?

• Windows is indeed activated.
• Diskmanagement screendump: See attached file
• USB issue question -> Can you elaborate, I don’t know which question you are referring to?

Okay, I’m back on track. Android ánd Windows are working. Thanks a lot so far!!! Jonathan, you’re my hero!!

Now I’m back where I started with not enough diskspace for Windows. How to proceed from here?

[Quinternet]

Hi Jonathan,

This worked… it took some time because the tablet wouldn’t startup at all anymore. When it did, I flashed it and Android runs again…

How to proceed from here?

[Quinternet]

Well…. there’s a little problem with that… I can’t download all files needed. ‘X98 PRO Windows 10 20150902(WinPE+images)’ can’t be downloaded. Can I download them elsewhere?

[Quinternet]

@Jonathan:

Yes, I’m sure it’s the X98 Pro (at least, that’s what it says on the back)

When I start up holding both volume buttons, I get the startup logo and in little text: “DNX FASTBOOT MODE..”

[Quinternet]

Okay, one step at a time, I suppose….

Using another Pen Drive I was able to select the Pen Drive to boot from.

Then it crashed (W10 blue screen) with error message: “acpi_bios_error”

Hi,

I figured out how to enter the BIOS, it’s by pressing the F7 button on a keyboard. I just bought a USB hub and created an Windows 10 pendrive.

Next: I’m not able to select the pendrive as a boot device in the BIOS.

[Quinternet]

@Jonathan: Yes, but it gives me only the option to boot into Android, which eventually.. it doesn’t

@vcespon: Sounds good!!! But how do I get the tablet to boot from pen-drive? And: How do I get W10 to activate?
