ran the windows repair on win10 and can't boot or anything
Boggin:
Can you press and hold F2 as you switch on to go into the BIOS to see if you have Secure Boot and if so, disable it.
Press F10 to Save and Exit.
If that doesn't get you in normally then execute those cmds as I've described.
I'm not sure if performing a chkdsk /f from that cmd prompt would help but you would first need to enter bcdedit |find "osedvice" to give you a partition letter and then enter chkdsk x: /f where x is your partition letter.
Let me know if you get an error message when entering either of those two cmds.
For clarity that is a Pipe symbol before find and is the uppercase of \
I've already passed this onto Shane and will contact him again so that he can read the Ubunto report.
garnita:
I just entered the cmd's and and found my OS in partition 2, letter C. Was just about to enter the boot command you gave me when I saw your new post. Should I try to check the Bios first regarding secure boot?
I am doing the chkdsk now. It has deleted a bunch of "corrupt attribute records" . It says "windows has made corrections to the file system. No further action is required". No bad sectors.
Btw, Your help and quick responses are much appreciated.
Boggin:
The chkdsk may have done it so enter exit to close the cmd window, shut down and see if it will boot, otherwise execute that first lot of cmds to make the partition active.
You could check the BIOS for secure boot.
garnita:
Couldn't find anything regarding "secure boot" in the bios.
Tried the cmd commands and got "Failure when attempting to copy boot files"
Below is the command I executed, then got above "Failure" message
X:=\windows\sytem32>bcdboot c:\windows
Boggin:
Try these cmds -
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd
If the /scanos reports no Windows installations found, try these cmds -
ren c:\bootmgr bootmgrbackup, where c: is where your Windows is installed
bootrec /RebuildBcd
bootrec /FixBoot
There are other bootrec suggestions in this article - https://neosmart.net/wiki/bootrec/#bootrec_ScanOs_doesn8217t_find_Windows
I'm going to have to shoot off shortly as it has turned 1:00am here in the UK.
