    Win 10 will not load. Completely stuck


    OK gang, I'm new to the forum and no computer expert, but I've got a real corker on my hands for months and nothing will seem to solve it. Throwing it out there to see if any of you have a clue. Here goes:

    I have an ancient Satellite A505 with Windows 10. Sometime in May, Win 10 auto updated and deleted the drivers. I tired the auto repair. Nothing. Safe mode will not boot even in recovery (I get a black screen with NO cursor). I can't recover from an image file, even though I have one downloaded on a USB flash drive. (I don't know which drivers were even DELETED!) In futility, I tried a clean install. Won't let me do it. Running sfc does nothing. DISM won't do anything. I can't even use the ethernet. Windows won't load, I can't get to safe mode, and I can't seem to do a damn thing. Dead in the water...


    Does anybody have any ideas?!?!?! HELP!

    Are you using the System Restore tool from Windows Recovery Environment?
    When you boot your computer what happens when you press Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys?

    Please boot your computer with Windows Setup Media and from Windows Recovery Environment start the Command Prompt.

    Please type below commands into Command Prompt and press Enter key.

    Following commands will repair Master Boot Record (MBR), Boot Sector and BCD Store.


    Code:
    Bootrec /FixMbr
    
    Bootrec  /FixBoot
    
    Bootrec  /RebuildBcd

    First command executed successfully. The fsecond ixboot cmnd failed saying "The Volume does not contain a recognized file system." I executed the third command and got the following. The operation completed successfully. I'm currently at x:\windowssystem32>

    What shall I do after that?

    Do you mean Bootrec /FixBoot command did not execute?


    Please boot your computer with Windows Setup Media and from Windows Recovery Environment start the Command Prompt.

    Please type below command into Command Prompt and press Enter key.

    Following command will fixes errors on the disk and locates bad sectors and recovers readable information.


    Code:
    Chkdsk D: /r


    Please replace partition letter D: with Windows installed partition letter. When computer boots into Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) environment the drive letter assign to Windows partition may not be C: drive letter because Windows 7, 8 , 8.1 and 10 creates a separate system partition when it's installed from scratch. The system partition contains boot files WinRE assigns the system partition the C: drive letter and the Windows installed partition will be assign any other drive letter usually D: drive letter is assign to Windows installed partition. The Bcdedit /enum | find "osdevice" command can be use to find out the drive letter of the Windows installed partition the output of the Bcdedit command is similar to this osdevice partition=D:. The drive letter after partition= is the drive letter of the Windows partition.

    I apologize for my lack of techincal expertise. Process is now at Stage 4 with approx 7% scanned. This looks like it might take 3-4 hours. Is there anything else I should do following the scan?
