Windows Repair gone BAD

Hi, sorry to hear of your problem. Was it an in-place upgrade repair that you attempted? What prompted you to try the repair - what were the indications there was a problem?

You can prepare a live boot disk using Kyhi's Win 10 + utilities iso, available from the top of the Software and Apps section, provided you have access to another PC and a flash drive e.g. - or even burn it to a DVD.

(At present, the hosting site downloads with interruptions, so it's necessary to use Free Download Manager to download the iso).

Once you can boot your PC from that, you can check the disk, examine partitions, back up files, access the internet.....

Do you use disk imaging routinely, as is so often recommended here? e.g. Macrium Reflect (free). If so, do you have a recent image you could restore?

Do you already have a full backup of everything that matters?

If you were doing an in-place upgrade repair, you presumably know the major build number of your installation.. could you tell us which build you are using?

Sounds good.. first step will be to do a routine disk check. (HD Tune, Health and Error scan tbs).

Noted you have a 256 Gb SSD, and the laptop came, I think, with Win 10 from what I can see at a quick glance.

It would be wise to post a screenshot of your Windows partitions using Minitool Partition Wzard, available on Kyhi's disk.

If the disk checks out ok, then best to restore the most recent MR image of Windows.

I checked for undated before i tried the repair, so it would be last build.

- however some check for updates and are using 1803, others, 1809 at present. (Yes, we're coming up to 1903 now!). (Clue- your iso must have been the same build, if older, would complain, if newer, would perform an upgrade).

It's easy enough to check what's installed if accessible simply from properties of any Windows file e.g. explorer.exe

All the pre-built download ISOs from Kyhi's WinPE are being removed because of corruption problems. It's easy to build your own now following the instructions Kyhi has posted: Win10XPE - Build Your Own Rescue Media - Windows 10 Forums

Ztruker - Thanks for your reply. I have tried your suggestion but my problem is I can not get ANY bootscreen. I have NO MBR.

Any way to get a MBR on the PC?

Thanks for any help

Do you have a bootable Windows 10 disk?

Given where you are, it's not at all clear as to whether it would be feasible to repair your Windows installation.

Are you in the habit of using disk imaging e.g. Macrium Reflect (free) recommended time and again here so you have a chance of recovery without technical help when things go wrong?

Personally I don't consider building your own PE disk especially straightforward or simple. I've just started looking at that. Start from the basic point that it uses .7z files. Many users don't have anything installed to open those.
