Windows 10 Boot Configuration Data Issues

Over the last few days my computer only successfully booted among a number of resets. One night it failed to shut down and hanged on a black screen. I planned to empty the boot SSD (Samsung 850 EVO) drive to prepare for recovery the morning after, but then:

I finally got boot media sorted and set about with the fix.

Bootrec /fixmbr and press the enter key - worked fine.

Bootrec /fixboot and press the enter key - element not found

Type Bootrec /scanos and press the enter key - showed the boot media only

Type Bootrec /rebuildbcd and press the enter key - doesn't work of course

Type "A" to add the installation to the boot list and hit enter - also cannot be done.


I went on to do diskpart.

Boot SSD was listed as disk 2 and had a Primary and then a Recovery partition. This led to a "
A device attached to the system is not functioning" error when trying fixboot commands again.


Then in another twist my boot media gives me this when selected for boot:

I'm at a loss and quite desperate. I'm considering reinstalling windows 10 on the drive but I want to keep my activation and the boot media gave me no option to reset like you would see in the Settings of Windows. Its fresh install or nothing.

I dont think you will lose activation upon reinstalling; as now the activation key gets linked to the microsoft account you are using to login. It would be a good idea to freshly install windows. Is it a desktop or laptop?

Desktop. My computer is linked to my Microsoft account too ,if that means it carries over then I might be in luck.

That is not, how you fix BCD errors. bcdboot command is meant for that.
Can you show screenshot with command output from this:

• diskpart
  list disk
  select disk 0
  list partition
  list volume

I cannot. The boot media does not work and I can't set up another until I find access to a windows 10 machine.

Okay now I've hooked up the SSD to another computer to try and take the data from it. The main user folder is locked behind am admin permission prompt and displays as 0 bytes...

Yes - that's normal. That is, how it will appear to any user without access permissions.

Btw - you may be able to fix bootloader on your SSD from your other pc (if windows version is the same).
Can you show screenshot from Disk Management?

I've booted into safe mode to bypass the "class not registered" issue on the other system, running Windows 7.

Solved by reinstalling Windows 10 due to additional issues.
