Corrupted C: drive?

Dism /online ? for an offline image?
You know what a Shim operation is?

/offbootdir=unused old MBR-Bootpartition?

Read the MS-Docs

Update 1- Putting the disk back into the non-working PC did not work - the PC took me straight into Bios.

Update 2 - I got into a loop with DISM and SFC - DISM runs ok , works successfully, but SFC couldn't fix all the corruptions. this sfc was run in offline mode as before..

And for clarity, the boot disk from the non-working PC, G:\System, is Disk 4 in my diagram, rather than Disk 2.

I have made some progress on this but not quite there yet. I ran a cycle of DISM and SFC several times. at one point I checked around the disks and/volumes and partitions with a feeling that something was missing. I found a video covering resetting the boot set up with bcdedit and followed that thru. It finished successfully, and said it had corrected some files. When I ran the g:\disk back on the troubled pc it didn't boot though. For the heck of it I ran DISM and SFC one more time on the supporting PC, and this time they both ran through for longer than previously, and successfully. Running the disk back on the troubled PC and it didn't go straight to Bios, but ran with the spinning dots before failing with a BSOD - Your device ran into a Problem ... but this is a lot better!

I have had to give up on this. Was taking too long and there too many instabilities. Thanks to all those who chipped in, I learnt new stuff along the way.

You are free to believe what you want. And what you believe is only your truth!

But as I said before: Your Commands don't work! And that is very easy to prove also!

Your way shows: no integrity violations



The right way shows this: integrity violations found and fixed successfully



Validate your own truth

But this must have been a nice one
