Pc won't boot up after windows update froze

Sorry,I will answer this message in a bit of hours. But..how do i backup my files before reset?

NavyLCDR, I'm sorry. I do hope you and your family are healthy and safe.

Pikman4200,
Sorry, I do not know the answer. Was this of any assistance? Sorry about your data, but resetting your PC is the only way to get your computer back up and running. Then, I suggest purchasing Systweak's Advanced System Optimizer through cleverbridge (look for a deal $29.95 or lower). The software contains a powerful component called UnDelete, which will hopefully aide you in recovering your lost information.

Cheers,

Convert the selected disk to got and try again


Can you help me please in this ?

I should have also had you do list volume:

Code:

C:\Windows\system32>diskpart

Microsoft DiskPart version 10.0.17763.1

Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.
On computer: JOHN-DESKTOP

DISKPART> list volume

  Volume ###  Ltr  Label        Fs     Type        Size     Status     Info

  Volume 0     E                       DVD-ROM         0 B  No Media

But we will assume that your Windows is on C: drive in the command prompt so, what you will want to do to delete the existing system partition and create a new one is:

Code:

diskpart
select disk 0
select partition 1
delete partition override
create partition EFI
format fs=fat32 quick
assign letter=s
exit
bcdboot C:\Windows /s S: /f UEFI
exit

Now when you reboot you might have to go into your UEFI firmaware (BIOS) settings and make the new "Windows Boot Manager" the highest boot priority again. Many UEFI systems will detect the new EFI system partition as completely new and put it down to the bottom of the boot priority list.

If the above does not work, there are a few possibilities:
1. Windows is not on C: drive in that command prompt. The list volume command will tell us that.
2. Your Windows installation is corrupt and you will need to either restore from a backup image or copy out what data you can from that partition and re-install Windows.
3. Your drive has gone bad.
4. Your drive may have gotten marked as readonly. The commands to determine readonly status are:

Code:

diskpart
select disk 0
detail disk

Well, I would need to see what your disk layout looks like. And you can't create an EFI System partition on an MBR disk. You would have to create a primary system partition marked as active.

For sorry when I entered

delete partition override

It deleted the c partition as I think

Because when I turned my pc again it stop on this message with black screen

- reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key -


I don't know what type of hard disk I have

But my pc is


Asus k42f

And hard disk named ( st9500325AS )

It would really depend on how you had your hard drive set up. If you were booting from the same partition that contained the OS, then you probably did delete your C: drive partition. If your hard drive was setup with a separate system reserved partition, like most are, then you probably just deleted the system partition. If you deleted your C: drive partition, and had a system reserved partition still intact, you would get a different error than what you are getting now.

Now you are going to have to boot your computer from a Windows 10 installation USB flash drive to attempt to fix things. When you boot from the flash drive and you get to the first screen for installing windows, you can press Shift+F10 to get a command prompt. Then:
diskpart
list disk
list vol

I would need to see the results of those commands to give specific instructions. As a blind shot in the dark, you could try booting from the Windows 10 USB flash drive, pressing Shift+F10 and running:
diskpart
sel dis 0
sel volume c
active
exit
bcdboot C:\Windows /s C: /f BIOS
exit

Then reboot.

Ok Sir thank you for your much help to me

Now can you please explain to me these things down


- boot your computer from a Windows 10 installation USB flash drive to attempt to fix things. -


Windows 10 installation USB flash drive


This mean I download windows 10 on usb flash drive and make sure to make the usb as flash drive

Right ?

Should I use the same version of windows 10? Or any new version is good to do?


I'm sorry that I'm not so good in these things

Yes, download Windows 10 and create a flash drive:
Create Bootable USB Flash Drive to Install Windows 10

It does not matter which version of Windows 10 it is.

Thank you Sir for your kindness.

I will do the steps then contact with you again. Wish for you all the best Sir
