At the same time, a common add-on tool was hacked, and is known to mess up partition tables, so it may just be people downloading things onto 10 and having them blow up... --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.

Mine had no issues upgrading. Running legacy bios boot mode, not UEFI. Now if you do a fresh install and you boot in the opposite mode from how your disk is partitioned, so boot legacy with a GPT disk or boot UEFI with a legacy MBR disk, then I would not be surprised if the windows installer wipes out the entire disk since it wants to create a new partition table of the "correct" kind. Of course if that is what happened, I doubt it is new to this release of windows. -- Len Sorensen
