GentlePersons,

Thank you for your reply's.

I to have spent many years in "it" having started my career in September 1966, with IBM. I retired from "it" years ago.

I have come across what might be a hardware / BIOS solution waiting to be defined as a problem.

I'll Post this Response and return with the New Posts Name where I define it. Here is the New Post I entered earlier this morning:

Removing "duplicate" Drive entries from the BIOS.

If your inclined, please check it out and apply your experience against it.

Best regards,

Mike Lynch

...Link?

I'm too stupid to know how to create a link.

However, are you referring to a: Chain, Cuff, or Sausage Link?

Sorry to be a "semi-smart" A?S?S but today has been very frustrating.

I copied my earlier Post and will paste it below this sentence.

I have been struggling for about one month to migrate my W10Pro64 O/S from an:

HP EliteDesk 8300 Mini SFF PC to an HP ProDesk, the lowest level version that complies with the dreaded October Suprise.

I have tried "many" suggested solutions, some taking "me" hours to understand and attempt to put into effect. All to no avail.

Then I decided that I should try migrating to a different HP Platform and used my HP EliteDesk 8300 SFF.

Guess what, the same negative results.

However, I still had the itch and opened its BIOS.

There it was, staring me in the face, TWO entries for the same Drive, identical.

So, I attempted to boot from the first entry, and it failed.

Then I tried the second entry and "thank GOD" it worked perfectly.

I then moved the Drive to my ProDesk and tried to boot. It failed as it has in the past.

I figured if I went into the BIOS, I'd find the same TWO entries and I'd boot from the second.

I did and you guessed it, there was no second entry, BUMMER.

Might ant Forum Member, know how to delete a BIOS Entry on an HP EliteDesk 8300?

If so, I would try it, expecting the Drive now only having ONE entry, the job would be done.

Thank you in advance for your input.
