recovery from oxc000000e
I made an image file of my hard drive, and used it to install everything on a second drive. If I have a hard drive failure, I can install the second drive and immediately have an operating computer.
This approach worked fine. To keep the drive current. I put it in a external drive enclosure, and copied word documents, etc. , added a few files from scratch, and now the second drive is more current than the drive in the computer. It still worked ok when connected to my computer.
I tested it again today, and have a oxc000000e error. I checked into making a startup repair USB, assuming I could make it using my normal hard drive, but I get the impression the repair USB would contain everything on my normal drive (word documents, pictures, etc.) I might as well create a new image file and use it, loosing data that was only on the second drive.
Am I correct, or can I just make a win10 repair only USB? I put the second drive in the external drive enclosure and everything looks fine.
What normally causes the oxc000000e problem? Maybe I need to unmount the drive instead of just turning off the external drive enclosure power.
