While upgrading to Windows 10 my buddies laptop got caught in an update problem.
Now it BSOD with Unmountable_Boot_Volume error.
It tries for hours to auto repair - and fails.
So I am ready to punt and reinstall Windows. (BTW - Windows tech chat tells me that the Nov update was huge and they implied that it messed up a few more PC's than just this one)
Okay - but the problem now is that the partition table on the laptop is messed up. I boot into Linux and try to mount and it fails. I go into gparted and it says it has messed up GPT table.
So using the Hiren's boot CD - I can see the boot table etc. But how do I fix or update the table?
Based on what I see - it looks like it is all there. I click F2 and save it - reboot into Linux and get the same lockout.
I am open here. I have a handful of Linux distros and thumb drives and am willing to try almost any LOW RISK idea you've got.
Thanks in advance for your help!
