Bootrec /fixboot access denied. Various solutions not working
Hi folks, after three days of trying to fix "Bootrec /fixboot = access denied" (and friends) by pawing through various posts in various forums, I have accepted the fact that I'm not as competent as I was wont to think at the start . I'm probably worse off than I realize, but Hope is such a tortuous mistress...and Pride...well, she's just plain sadistic.
The night was sultry when Windows Explorer started refreshing task bar icons and freezing on my Lenovo x230. I waited as long as Patience allowed (she's a different ethical dilemma), before rebooting to resolve the freeze. I've been unable to boot to windows ever since.
Without access to even fix/repair a boot problem, I figure any other attempts will be rejected until this is resolved (3 days of rooting around is convincing).
Rather than listing things haphazardly, what would you need to know to help diagnose?
Grateful for any help,
