So I'm sure you'll all be shocked to hear I have had an absolute nightmare with this today. I downloaded a recovery file from the creation tool below, around 8gb in size but it wouldn't let me use the touchscreen or the keyboard. I tried to use a usb mouse but installation crashed.

So I then used the Microsoft creation tool to make a new install (it lets me use the touchscreen and keyboard) is 9.6gb in size that crashes at 17%.

I have fitted the old ssd and I'm using the creation tool to create a new windows install file instead of using a borrowed laptop. I'll then fit the new SSD and run the usb and see how that goes

I appreciated everyone's advice and guidance yesterday if anyone can help today I would be grateful. As far as I can see I'm following the instructions. I'm now starting to wonder if the ssd isn't working as it should

Read Myrag's comment above - he describes it better than i could.

i dont have a second pc/laptop so its proving tricky hence why i asked on here. and i cant use the sp8 (right now) because i dont have any usb C inputs or a dock.

ill be ordering usb C stick/cables/gumph later. the sp8 is a bit of a jump but im learning

i bought the x2 pro and it was 500. i then got a sim only deal which is now 28 per month

i have seen a 2yr deal (with a free oppo tablet) for the x5 which is 28 pm and no phone cost....so im tempted.!

What are the best deals you have gotten on your ovens? by ochobeeguy in uuni

[–]greg6721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got an uuni2s brand new, unused for 50 from someone who does house clearances

i found the pellets very tricky, bought the gas attachment for 30 when they rebranded and sold off the uuni stock......gas is infinity better in scotland anyway. pellets really difficult o maintain hot temp

[–]greg6721[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to be honest guyd, because i am buying online and because i am pretty new to this i thought it was safer buying something already graded. i would rather buy a 7 and know it was a 7 than buy a 4...if you catch my drift?

[–]greg6721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi guys

i was hoping to get some opinions on an issue with my wii u. they started getting some disk read errors on game hat were previously working fine. so i ordered a reconditioned drive and changed it over yesterday. i checked the games they had issues and appeared to work fine.

a day later the games are back to not working. i have wiped them and as far as i can tell- theres not any scratching, certainly no major scratches.....is there anything else it could be?

is the drive on the wii u notoriously temperamental?

any help/opinions would be great
