    And why don’t you follow advices?

    Diskmanagement like post #15 including the disk that has (F:) on it

    cmd (admin)
    reagentc /info

    Did you download explorer++?

    The problem is identified now clearly.
    Sorry, my bad!

    reagentc /info
    'reagentc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.


    explorer++ is up and running.

    Just one question. Is that stuff that is running on disk 0 (C:) the problem disk that gave you the boot failure and is running now?
    I don't need reagentc any more.

    The answer please! A good cooperation looks different

    Edit:
    cmd
    mkdir D:\BCD_Backup
    bcdedit /store \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition1\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD /export D:\BCD_Backup\BCD1


    and buy a new CMOS-Battery!

    - - - Updated - - -

    And no (!) further changes till the CMOS Battery is replaced.
    After Replacement boot into BIOS and in
    Settings > General >Date/Time correct the time

    No, the OS on Disk 0 (C:) the one that fails to boot.
    I currently running Windows PE OS installed on Disk 2.

    I am really sorry about this, but I had 09:00 PM in my local time and was asked to leave the site.

    cmd
    mkdir D:\BCD_Backup
    bcdedit /store \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition1\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD /export D:\BCD_Backup\BCD1

    The store export command is invalid.
    Run "bcdedit /?" for command line assistance.
    The parameter is incorrect.

    OK, let me purchase the part and confirm here.

    OK, that's correct. The /export command is valid only for the active system-bcd and not for a store-bcd.
    Sorry for the confusion.
    I see that you boot from (F:) but what happens if you doubleclick on the desktop icon "My PC"

    or you open the explorer? Try to run a Program that you start from C:\Program Files

    I removed the original CMOS battery and checked its voltage = 3.00 VDC.
    Do I really need to replace the battery?
    What sings do show indicate this?

    Your System changed from UEFI to BIOS. BIOS is a default setting and when the power is too low, it switches to default.

    A high impedance Voltmeter doesn't detect the battery charging (capacity)!

    When the battery is exchanged do not change any other setting except day/time

    Got it!
    I have replace the CMOS battery to the new fresh one and set the correct date and time in BIOS settings.
    All the other BIOS settings stay the same.

    Now I booted from F: as previously.

    What are the next steps?

    OK, final step now:

    run cmd (admin)
    sfc /scannow


    Attention: Only when the above command finds problems, that couldn't be fixed, come back here. When problems have been fixed you continue.

    Shutdown PC and remove USB disk 2+3
    Boot into BIOS <F2>
    Settings>General>Boot Sequence ==> Windows Boot Manager
    >Boot List option> UEFI
    OK and shut down
    Boot into Boot Start <F12>
    Select >Windows Boot Manager >OK
    Cross you fingers and start the engine

    What we did till now:
    Back to UEFI
    The Diskette Drive was the 1st Boot Device. Now its on the last position
    In bootorder the {bootmgr} was on the last position. Now it’s on position 1 again
    modified and deleted some wrong BCD-Entries.

    What to do in future:
    Your Disk 0 Partition 4 needs an attrib-treatment

    Good Luck

    sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows
    X:\Windows\System32>sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows
    Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
    Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.


    I will proceed with the next steps...

    - - - Updated - - -

    Shutdown PC and remove USB disk 2+3
    done
    Boot into BIOS <F2>
    Settings>General>Boot Sequence ==> Windows Boot Manager
    done
    >Boot List option> UEFI
    done
    OK and shut down
    done
    Boot into Boot Start <F12>
    Select >Windows Boot Manager >OK
    done

    Got BSOD with the error code INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE...

    Have we missed something?

    OK
    go back to the (F:)-Boot Option (first change UEFI to BIOS) again and do that what is explained in #34

    Everything looks like a typical Dual-Boot arrangement. You run Windows (C:) and boot successfully from (F:)

    Machines that do not support NVMe boot often run Windows (C:) perfectly, but need the bootmanager on a SATA Disk.

    But do that what is mentioned in #34 first. And I do not tell that again. When it is what I believe now, your RAID-Controller-Update changed UEFI bootsettings.

    BIOS: \Windows\system32\winload.exe ==> is working
    UEFI: \Windows\system32\winload.efi ==> not working

    Instead of a USB-Disk you could try a SATA-Disk as well. But keep your (F:)-Disk safe.

    Then the cmd command

    diskpart
    sel disk 0
    sel par 1
    assign letter=S
    exit

    allows you to explore the boot-partition using Explorer++ running in Admin-Mode
    But your BCD is OK!

    It should look like that.

    when finished
    run cmd
    diskpart
    sel disk 0
    sel par 1
    remove
    exit


    But your feedback has to be faster!
