Okay and thanks. I’m no expert. I’ve done programming years ago (Cobol) lol, and that was mainly file processing so, and my experience is more hands on, but I’ve been using computers since the Apple 2e.
Look, I’ve got a little bit of concern with this, I don’t want to go into details, but I’m concerned that I might be under what you might call a personal attack and the person I’m concerned about is a computer scientist that is well capable of doing such. Over a few years I’ve had hard disks gradually decrease performance and then become unbootable, before their life.
The other odd thing also is that they would not perform disk checks, errors about the structure of their MBR’s,boot sector errors- ect, ect.
With my first post too, I did say that the main computer is saying “unknown MBR” also, and this computer was built by me. It is running Acronis True Image 2013 which might explain it.
There is also 2 other laptops on the same network in the house.
I could (and very well could be) wrong in all this, but some expert help would put my mind at rest.
Thanks again.
