I don't know if this is relevant, but our machine gets stuck every time it tries to install the Windows 10 upgrade that came out in the fall. It's a Gateway machine, and I'm told that this upgrade is incompatible with our model. It could be that Windows doesn't do anything to the computer in question but doesn't work properly either.

hmmm. that might be a HDD issue or a controller issue. the only reason I still 
suspect Windows 10 for the fault is that the HDD shutdown happened after 
running it. Like I said, you might need some visual assistance to determine 
what may have been modified. Also, Windows 10 likes to erase the boot loader in 
favor of it's own boot loader, thus removing any possibility of dual booting 
another OS that MS might have an issue with.

Hi.
I can boot cd without problem on the computer.
The problem is just that the hard drive doesn't turn on.

Hi.
I was trying to set up a double boot system. windows 10 and Linux.
I had Linux on the harddrive and it worked fine.
then I downloaded the latest iso from microsoft using windows media
creator.
I inserted the cd and booted from that.
Suddenly my hard drive just stopped spinning.
I can't install Linux at all. it doesn't detect the hard drive. just a
cd if you put that in.
Do you Think that just booting windows 10 broke the hard drive or the
motherboard.
I've bought a new computer now with asus x99-e ws/usb 3.1 motherboard.
I'm planning to do the same, but I'm afraid. the computer is expensive.
