It had a failing internal disk that took literally 5 hours to copy with EaseUS to a new SSD due to all the bad blocks. Without the chkdsk it was just spinning its wheels and couldn't find the windows installation on the new drive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176408532540018619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268159193748171866.post-80626722617239491992017-06-26T17:54:28.111+01:002017-06-26T17:54:28.111+01:00Life saver!!!

It has helped me too and I felt compelled to leave a thank you and a description of how your solution also helped me with a slightly different problem.<br /><br />I am running Windows 10 Pro, I upgraded from Win 8.1 Pro. I had turned off UEFI boot for the hard drive to fix a problem my son was having with DEP (another story). So my computer was bootong up in Legacy (normal) mode without any problems. But then I needed to have the system boot up in Safe Mode to check something and I had set this up in msconfig and then did a system restart. On restart I got the message:<br /><br />When I boot my Windows 8 laptop (see details below), it displays this message:<br /><br />Recovery<br /><br />Your PC needs to be repaired<br /><br />A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.<br /><br />Error code: 0xc0000225<br /><br />[text saying I should use recovery tools on my installation media to fix the issue. ]<br /><br />Press Enter to try again<br /><br />Press F8 for Start-up Settings<br /><br />Press Esc for UEFI Firmware Settings<br /><br />If I press Enter or F8, the central part of the message changes to:<br /><br />The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.<br /><br />File: \Windows\system32\winload.efi<br /><br />Error code: 0xc0000225<br /><br />I googled the error and most answers/solutions said to use bootrec to repair which meant you needed a system disk to boot into Recovery mode and execute some commands such as;<br />Advanced Options -> Command Prompt<br />bootrec /scanos<br />bootrec /rebuildbcd<br />bootrec /fixmbr<br />bootrec /fixboot<br /><br />My problem was, this was a recent upgrade so I had no win 10 disk to boot from. I also had no system image and no restore points because my boot drive is a SSD. I really needed a solution. <br /><br />So I thought I would boot from my Win 8.1. disk and try and enter the Recovery that way. Good plan I thought, but my computer just would not boot from the CD. Eventually I realized my error when I was looking at the boot options and saw that my DVD/CD was trying to boot using UEFI mode so I changed that to Legacy and was able to boot.<br /><br />Once I was in Recovery I opened up Command Prompt then changed the drive letter to C by typing C: enter<br /><br />I then followed your steps as follows;<br /><br />Type DISKPART command<br /><br />3. Enter Command LIST VOLUME, note volume no...(I selected the volume that said system 100MB which had no drive letter)<br /><br />4. Enter Command SELECT VOLUME "no" (eg1,2,3) mine was 3<br /><br />5. Enter Command ASSIGN LETTER=Z (command was executed successfully) type EXIT then <br /><br />6. Enter Command BCDBoot c:\Windows /s z: /f UEFI<br /><br />7.Exit and restart.<br /><br />On restarting I first went into the BIOS and made sure my hard drive and DVD/CD were set to boot using UEFI mode then saved the settings and rebooted. I crosed my fingers and toes and waited.<br /><br />The system came up with a blue screen showing a selection to either startup as Win 10 or Win 8.1 - Win 10 was set as default and set to boot within 30 secs. I manually selected Win 10 and I was at the login page. Then Windows booted as if nothing was wrong. I then opened msconfig and deleted the reference to Win 8.1 and restarted the computer and it came up immediately to my login page and Windows once again started perfectly.<br /><br />So once again thank you, your solution worked for my circumstances and will now help someone else when they find your post.TouchBasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08850192629932918925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268159193748171866.post-58849890966943243942015-09-07T07:25:57.683+01:002015-09-07T07:25:57.683+01:00Thank you, thank you, thank you.
