Configuring a new BCD file

As I did mentioned WinRe does supersedes the OEM recovery. But I am more curious than anything to know the possibility of the diskpart script for the OEM and it's only an option. Sure it is now out of date. (But for another thing I might return the pc to its original state when I get rid of it). So any ideas on the previous?

Thanks for crystaldisk I will use it. (But the HD was checked a few weeks before it crashed).

I was thinking of updating the CPU, but your link shows how cheap SSD is; thanks. (It may not be so cheap here?) Are there any issues with the motherboard and SSD?

I usually use my old HD's as an external in a caddy; good for storage as you say - have a few by now.

The factory recovery option sounds good. I will see if the file exists on my current set up, and if it is possible from BIOS - but this is unlikely as the BIOS options are rather basic.

Running SSD and HDD together may not be possible due to space. (HDD could be an external). All possible in making solutions.

Oh, the few weeks earlier test was a SMART test on the HD before it crashed.

Glad only one case of BIOS and SSD problems. This is good.

Thought you might be interested an equivalent 1TB SSD (Samsung) from a local pc supplier would be $150.94 / £107.00. (It is not always best to turn to Amazon, but this would be some $30 more). But this is still ok. However, a new CPU first is more likely and necessary.

I did try to alter the attribute settings on the BCD file, but this still gave the same BFSVC error.

Thanks.

Thanks @SIW2,
The article says it is slow writing but also has a table that says it has a Sequential Write of 520, that is good for a SATA drive.
It is so well evaluated that people who has it seems they didn't care. And it's cheap, good for a 9 year old (Sandy Bridge) laptop.
