Nice, I will remake my dedicated easyos "install/repair" thumbdrive when you come out with refind included in the next version release. Do you have a link to a resource with boot codes for refind? I might want to migrate from grub 4dos. I have various puppys and dogs in the kennel as frug...

Re: Quicktest EasyOS 2.3.2 -> DELL D630

BCRYPT The program bcrypt (Menu -> Personal -> "Bcrypt file encryption") has not been working for a long time. I don't know if this is still useful in EasyOS I think this is because a weakness/vulnerability in bcrypt was reported as a bug and Debian patched it to disable encryption but le...

Re: Fix for two NVME drives problem

The Adapter card you got is a pci-e X16 interface card usually used for adding a first nvme or a second nvme to allow for raid 0 and 1 and therefore automaps to match your existing nvme if you have one installed. As you already had a nvme installed and didn't want the raid function, you should have...

The GUI allows drag-and-drop off the image file. However, in Linux Mint, Cinnamon, running the Nemo file manager, drag-and-...

Re: Easydd

@ Barry Hi Barry, Thank you for your explanation! I understood the steps which you described in your Win10 installation report, but I was surprised that Easydd does not 'eliminate' all data on the target drive, by default. Am I right to suppose that the Easydd command does not result in a really pr...
