Booting/Fixing Windows 10 Disk.
I have a problem that I hope someone can shed some light on.
Essentially I am trying to boot from a cloned copy of my Windows 10 on a new Samsung SSD I bought and I get an error message.
I have 4 "active" drives...Win7 (main OS), Win7 Backup, Win10 & Win10 clone SSD.
I use EasyBCD to dual-boot.
What I did last year was clone my Win7 and install/upgrade to Win10 on that cloned drive.
I boot using the BCD file on my Win7 so Win10 is booting using the Win7 BCD file...my choice.
If I try to boot directly from my Win10 HDD from the BIOS, I get the error message (see first screen capture).
If I boot using my Win10 ISO CD and attempt a Repair, I get a message that it could not repair (see second screen capture).
As I said before, I can boot to Win10 thru my Win7 but also I cannot boot to its Win10 clone on the new SSD. I get the error message in the 3rd screen capture.
So how do I (1) fix the Win10 on the HDD so I can boot directly from it using the BIOS and (2) how do I fix the Win10 clone on the SSD so I can boot both from the BIOS and from my Win7 using EasyBCD.
Number 1 is more important than number 2.
I have also included 2 other screen captures of my current Win10 version and the "Test" version I am running all this from right now for the purposes of posting this thread (booted from Win10 ISO CD.
