On laptop with Windows 10 I did a hard shutdown. Seems I messed up the EFI boot partition; now it lists as RAW and hidden on diskpart.
Luckily I have another recent drive a few months old clone, but I would prefer the latest drive.
Tried doing bootrec /fixboot but got access denied.
Do I need to try and recover the EFI boot partition files or will I not lose anything by recreating it/formatting to Fat32?
Note I am running the latest ver of windows 10 Home ..ver 1709 or later. and my USB does not seem to boot on the laptop. I was able to get to the troublshooting screen and command prompt., but now just a blank screen with a cursor. I can swap my other drive or plug it in on a usb caddy. May also be able to boot via dvd....verifying.
With my good drive running I can read the drive data fine on the drive that will not boot.
Thanks for any advice in advance.!
