Alawliet Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Hello, My computer has been unable to update for the past year or so. I tried everything possible(regular update, update assistant, media creation tool update) to try to update it but it fails no matter what. I tried resetting/recovery /restore my PC, but it always fails saying it was unable to reset my device. So at last I've decided to do a clean install. Using the instructions from here https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4000735/Windows-10-reinstall. I've reached the point where I need to format my drives, but I am unsure if there is any drive I'm supposed to leave un touched. I have a 500gb ssd, and a 2 tb hdd. I'm going to list them here Drive 0 - partition 1- primary Drive 1- partition 1"system" - system Drive 1 - part 2 - MSR (Reserved) Drive 1 part 3- primary Drive 1- part 4- recovery Am u supposed to delete all of them as mentioned in the how to? Or am I supposed to keep some of them. I really appreciate any help on this, I've been struggling with this for a really long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alawliet Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 I deleted all my partitions and just left drive 1 and 2 with just primary unless u got stuff saved on them u want... back it up. Already backed up my important files. So I should delete all partitions correct? Sorry I'm kinda nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguy85 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I didn't I was fine but you might want to download a version of either ICUE or if you have it Corsair Link before you do that. The C1 wont function properly with this software. Downlaod it on a USB disk or harddrive before you wipe em. I deleted and reformed all partitions and I was fine. Just make these back ups from the Corsair site before you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I however did not backup the software you mentioned. I did reinstall corsair link(however running it causes my computer to blues reen) Should I install the icue as u suggest instead?

zguy85 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 did you comp come with Corsair Link originally? If so what version are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Mint Posted June 1, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 1, 2020 iCUE is only supported for Corsair One models in the i-series (ex. i160). For all previous models, you would want to use Corsair Link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
