PC does not boot and Windows repair/installation not working
Hi All,
I am a newbee i this forum, living in Germany :) Since a few days I am facing a big issue with my PC.
The battery of the mainboard (Asus P8Z77) was empty and I changed it already, but nevertheless the PC does not boot. Most probably the reason for that is a reset of the BIOS setup / UEFI settings.
Original error message in Windows\System32\Logfiles\Srt was
"c:\efi\microsoft\boot\resources\custom\bootres.dll is damaged" (original message was in german language).
First I tried a classical Windows repair, which didn't work.
Then I found an article and created the efi partition new. Worked obviously, this issue is gone. But now I get an error during boot:
"Operating system couldn't be loaded because a critical system is missing or contains errors.
File: \\windows\system32\drivers\wd\WdBoot.sys"
Windows Recovery tools are not working, so I tried a re-installation of Windows. But this didn't work either. System tells me that the C-harddrive is an UEFI drive, which maybe is not supported. So obviously a BIOS setup 0setting still refers to "legacy" instead of "UEFI".
I already checked that in the Boot settings, but everything seems to be correct there.
Anybody an idea, which setting in the BIOS setup could have this impact?
SSD seems to work fine, via cmd I get access to all drives, folders, and files.
thanks in advance
