About 2~ weeks ago, when I restarted my computer, it didn't boot normally.. instead it went to a black screen which says "loading windows files" and then it opens the system repair menu. On this menu it says that windows is on E:\. It doesn't detect any system restore points (I know I had some), and system repair does nothing. The bootrec commands (/fixmbr /fixboot) run successfully but do nothing, and /rebuildbcd and /scanos both detect 0 windows installations..
Today this happened again, and I could not figure out how to fix it (I tried bootrec again and I tried Hirens bootcd, but I didnt know what I was doing so I didnt accomplish anything with that.) so I had to reinstall windows again.. wiping my C: drive.... again.
My partitions in order when this happens: (according to cmd /listpart)
Part 1: 100MB reserved system partition on my OS drive gets assigned drive letter C:\ (I think it should have no letter?) this is the active partition and its labelled as a system drive
Part 2: My second non-OS HDD is assigned D:\ and is also labelled as a system drive
Part 3: My main OS drive (SSD) gets assigned E:\ and is labelled as primary drive
/listdisk lists my two drives normally
list of things I've tried that didn't work:
-The bootrec commands in cmd
-bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup->c:->cd boot->attrib bcd -s -h -r->ren C:\boot\bcd bcd.old
-F: ->cd boot->dir->bootsect /nt60 SYS /mbr
-most of the MBR/Partition programs in Hirens... I didnt have a clue what I was doing so I just clicked on all the options that seemed like they could possibly fix this automatically
-swapping the drive letters around in the command prompt, the disk management program in Hirens MiniXP, and regedit
-virus scan in Hirens minixp(though I cant update definitions due to no internet in minixp and it wont let me use most of the AV programs)
I have no idea how to prevent this, and what to do about it other than reinstalling windows..... please help
