DISKPART - How to Partition GPT disk  

@Silendice,
That was what I was looking for!
Somehow that is what I think is wrong.
Atm I react from my iPad, not my win system, otherwise I would enclose the result of 'bcdedit /enum'

Here my bcdedit output.

Greetings, Kari

I am especially grateful to you for both your world-class expertise AND for your kindness and generosity in sharing it with me and with other members.

This outstanding article,
DISKPART - How to Partition GPT disk

became the springboard for my resolving an otherwise intractable problem which prevented my system from booting -- a problem I had been struggling with for several days and at which I was literally at wits end.

I already had a Windows 10 Professional installation which resided on a Western Digital 1TB drive. Not content to not "fix what ain't broken", I decided to try to migrate the system to a WD Black 6TB Performance Hard Drive - 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 256 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD6003FZBX.

I used a saved Acronis True Image 2019 image to the WD Black 6TB drive and that's when "all Hades" broke loose: I no longer could boot the operating system from the previously operating installatin despite multiple attempts using bootrec which repeatedly failed at bootrec /RebuildBCD

with "no element found" and with inability to find hal.dll upon attempted restart.

Using a saved Macrium disk image also failed, as above,

I followed your script and recreated a UEF Partition on the 6TB drive.

I then went through the usual bootrec sequence, lastly bootrec /RebuildBCD which succeeded.

I then exited the Windows 10 installation DVD command prompt which for the first time presented a "Continue" block / option which I chose resulting in a return to the Troubleshooting option -- under which I chose the option to repair boot issues -- which then presented an "Attempting Repair" -- which -- mirabile dictu -- booted into my long sought after Windows login screen.

It appears, in retrospect, that my having changed the parameters of the WD 6TB drive prevented the machine from booting.

Again, I am most grateful to you for sharing your expertise and for your kindness and generosity.

I have shared my experience, above, in the hope that my doing so will help others.

Bless You, Kari -- and Many Thanks!

Hello,
Following the steps I've write a diskconfig.txt to create multiple partitons for UEFI/GPT. I've modify the one provided in first post. All went well. Today I noticed with DiskGenius that the partition WinRETools just contains a log file and I can' t find anything else. I suppose it should contain the winre.wim file, boot.sdi, reagent.xml. I'm not an expert but in case of refresh I'm sure I made a mistake.
If I compare the partitions listed in diskpart and the one I see in disk management there is something I do not understand.
I also used reagentc /info in command prompt and it is not pointing to the right partition. Identifier is not the same.
There are lot of questions but I don't know how to repair this and do not want to reinstall the system again.

Could someone give my the right way? Thx for help. Nice day to all members
