MBR Error 1 & 2

[hugo0076]

Hi There,

I originally had my OS (Windows 8) on my 1TB hard drive but I bought an SSD and decided to install a new version of win 10 on it for faster boot times.

This worked fine for about 2 years but about 4 months ago I started getting an error where I would boot into the SSD but instead of windows I would first get "MBR Error 1, press any key to book from floppy disc" and then after pressing a key "MBR Error 2, press any key to book from floppy disc", which would re-print to the screen with every key press.

I worked out that I could get it to boot into windows on the SSD by booting first into the old HDD's windows 8 and then when prompted selecting the option to load into windows 10 on the SSD.

This worked well for about 4 months until I recently started getting random BSODs with the stop code "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT".

To fix the BSODs I tried:
- Updating BIOs
- Scanning for viruses
- Performing Windows memory diagnostic
- Removing CMOS battery (this appeared to work but it eventually started happening again)

Then, thinking that solving the MBR Error might fix it i tried:
- going through these steps: https://pureinfotech.com/repair-master-boot-record-mbr-windows-10/
- bootrec /fixmbr returns "The operation completed successfully"
- bootrec /fixboot returns "Access is denied" (Despite the cmd window being titled "Administrator: ..."
- bootrec /scanOS returns "Successfully scanned windows installations.
Total identified windows installations: 1
[1] C:\Windows (this is the SSD windows 10)
the operation completed successfully"

- bootrec /rebuildBCD + pressing "Y" when prompted returns "the requested system device cannot be found"

I'm quite unsure how to proceed now, if anyone has any advice I would appreciate it immensely.

Thanks,
Hugo
