Please go to C:\Windows\Minidump and zip up the contents of the folder. Then upload/attach the .zip file with your next post.
Left click on the first minidump file.
Hold down the "Shift" key and left click on the last minidump file.
Right click on the blue highlighted area and select "Send to"
Select "Compressed (zipped) folder" and note where the folder is saved.

If you have issues with "Access Denied" errors, try copying the files to your desktop and zipping them up from there. If it still won't let you zip them up, post back for further advice.

If you don't have anything in that folder, please check in C:\Windows for a file named MEMORY.DMP. If you find it, zip it up and upload it to a free file hosting service. Then post the link to it in your topic so that we can download it.

Also, search your entire hard drive for files ending in .dmp, .mdmp, and .hdmp. Zip up any that you find and upload them with your next post.

Then, follow the directions here to set your system for Minidumps (much smaller than the MEMORY.DMP file): http://www.carrona.org/setmini.html

How about health report from CrystalDiskInfo program. Can you please post the screenshots little bit bigger they are hard to see.

no issues shown in the report, shall I re run to show?

No need if the program report disk as healthy (Good) then we are okay.

You have not answered one of my question, do you have Windows 10 Installation DVD or USB flash drive?

I have the USB flash sorry.

Thank you!

Please boot your computer with Windows 10 Installation Media and from Windows Recovery Environment start the Command Prompt.

Please type below commands into Command Prompt and press Enter key.

Following commands will repair Master Boot Record (MBR), Boot Sector and BCD Store.




The Windows 10 Installation Media is in your case is the Windows 10 bootable USB flash drive.

If you have any questions please let me know!

Hi have ran these

https://i.servimg.com/u/f62/19/88/98/09/img_2010.jpg

Fixboot was denied

Have you executed these commands from Windows Installation Media?

I thought I had I went to advanced restart selected usb drive confirmed UK then repair pc then trouble shoot then command prompt?

Okay, you can also configure boot order within BIOS setup utility to boot your computer with Windows bootable USB flash drive.

The error message is strange lets deal with that later on, lets deal with Bootrec /RebuildBcd command not founding any installed operating system.

Since the BCD store exists, you'll first have to "remove" it manually and then try to rebuild it again.

At the Command Prompt, type below command as shown and then press Enter:



At the Command Prompt, type below command as shown and then press Enter:



The bcdedit command is used here to export the BCD store as a file: bcdbackup. There's no need to specify a file extension.

The command should return the following on screen:
The operation completed successfully.

Meaning the BCD export worked as expected.


At this point, you need to adjust several file attributes for the BCD store so you can manipulate it. At the prompt, execute the attrib command exactly like this:



What you just did with the attrib command was remove the hidden, read-only, and system attributes from the file bcd. Those attributes restricted the actions you could take on the file. Now that they're gone, you can manipulate the file more freely - specifically, rename it.

To rename the BCD store, execute the ren command as shown:



Now that the BCD store is renamed, you should now be able to successfully rebuild it.

Try rebuilding the BCD again by executing the following, followed by Enter:



Restart your computer after rebuilding the BCD store.

Copy Code



path was not found

which I assume had a knock on affect with the next steps after

Yes we will need to make sure C: is assigned to the system partition, can you please execute below commands one at time and post a screenshot of commands output.

https://i.servimg.com/u/f62/19/88/98/09/attemp10.png

here is outcome.

I can see you are very good with executing commands that was fast thank you.

We have to deal with system partition not having assigned any partition letter then rebuild BCD store.

Please give me few minutes for me to write you a guide on how to do that.

okay ill have to do this tomorrow now, given the time, thank you for your help so far.

You are very welcome, i have different way of repairing system boot files stored at system partition .

You will have to use Diskpart command to find out the System Reserved partition assigned number.
The output of the below commands may display the name of the System Reserved partition as only System or ESP.

   Type diskpart and press Enter.
   Type list volume and press Enter.
   Under the label row, find the label System Reserved and note its corresponding Volume number.
   Now type select Volume=N and press Enter, where N is the Volume number you noted earlier.
   Now type assign letter=w and press Enter.
   Type exit and press Enter.
   Type bcdboot C:\Windows /s w: /f ALL and press Enter.


Please replace partition letter C: with Windows installed partition letter.  When computer boots into Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) environment the drive letter assign to Windows partition may not be C: drive letter because Windows 7, 8 , 8.1 and 10 creates a separate system partition when it's installed from scratch. The system partition contains boot files WinRE assigns the system partition the C: drive letter and the Windows installed partition will be assign any other drive letter usually D: drive letter is assign to Windows installed partition. The Bcdedit /enum | find "osdevice" command can be use to find out the drive letter of the Windows installed partition the output of the Bcdedit command is similar to this osdevice partition=D:. The drive letter after partition= is the drive letter of the Windows partition.

Hi,

I have entered list volume, I cannot see anything referring to 'system reserved'

https://i.servimg.com/u/f62/19/88/98/09/list_v10.png

Hi @Robcrook101,

Its Volume 3 with FAT32 file system, 100MB partition size and Info section list it as a System.

okay sorry, 

thanks now I have done the code and says boot files successfully created 

 Type bcdboot C:\Windows /s w: /f ALL and press Enter.

C:\Windows\system32>bcdboot C:\Windows /s w: /f ALL
Boot files successfully created.

Please restart your computer to find out issue resolved.

sadly issue came up straight away.

Is it the same error message if its follow the instructions at below tutorial. Any questions please let me know!

How to Rebuild Boot Configuration Data (BCD) on Windows

yes same error message 0xc000000e winload.efi

Okay thank you follow the instructions at the tutorial.

I followed the instructions worked fine until step 15 then it didn't recognise the info and the following 16 didn't work, 17 did so I would guess I would need to do this again if so?

Can you check and see if System volume have been assigned a drive letter if not assign a drive letter to System volume and follow the instructions starting from step 15.

Type diskpart and press Enter.

Type list volume and press Enter.

Under the label row, find the label System Reserved and note its corresponding Volume number.

Select Volume=N and press Enter, where N is the Volume number you noted earlier.

Now type assign letter=w and press Enter.

Type exit and press Enter.

Follow the instructions starting from step 15.

When you assign a drive letter (W) or any other drive letter use this drive letter starting from step 15.

Okay back to step 15 so instead of C:\ should I be in W? Or instead of attrib C:\ it should be W:\ ?

If you have assigned a drive letter W you will use this drive letter so instead of C:\ you will replace it with W:\ same goes for the Ren command.

How is everything progressing, do you need more assistant on this issue?

sorry had to eat, i am trying to understand how to do these next steps, so in command prompt result1/2 do i still do C; or go to W:?

If you have assigned a drive letter W to the System volume then you will execute below commands one at a time.

it says when typing in attrib etc that the path is not found W:\boot

If you can please post a screenshot of below commands outputs.

You have not assigned a drive letter W to the System volume that is the reason commands are not working.

I have also notice System volume now labeled as Hidden this should be no problem but if nothing works we may have to recreate this partition (volume).

Please execute below commands one at a time and post a screenshot of the commands outputs.

Please execute below commands one at time.

Forget to add you need to exit Diskpart before executing above commands type Exit and press Enter key and execute above commands.

okay have done so, it says please wait.. then scussfully scanned and total identified windows installations 0 operation completed successfully.

Execute below commands.



Please post a screenshot of these commands output.

It looks like we need to recreate the System partition but before doing that restart your computer to find out if issue resolved. If issue not resolved then again execute below commands, if again no operating system found we will recreate the System partition.
