Okay the partition got detected as NFTS again. I didn't do anything to make it happen. Just restarted my laptop. It has two hard drives. One is the SSD, C partition (it had windows and all software installations). Another one is 930GB SATA hard drive with all my work files.
I eventually created an image of my C partition using Macrium Reflect PE environment. Everything went fine. For some unknown reason, the image was of approximately 100gb in size whereas my C partition was occupied upto almost 175 GB.
Then I booted using the windows 10 USB and deleted all the partitions of the C drive during the installation menu that asks for the location of windows 10. Then I chose the newly formatted C partition to install windows.
The installation went fine. I got to the desktop wallpaper screens and icons. Then I booted using Macrium and restored using the image file.
After I restarted my laptop. I got this error.
After pressing enter, I got this.
Then I checked in the boot menu of my BIOS. To my surprise, my SSD was not listed in the boot menu. Don’t know why.
Then I booted using Win 10 USB, and ran sfc scannow. I also ran DISM, trying to restore the image from the official windows files present on the usb drive and got these results.
Upon checking the volume information, I got this.
I also tried to fix the bcd using the following commands.
bcdboot c:\Windows /s Z: /f ALL
The letter Z was assigned to the 100mb ESP partition on the D drive
Now this 100mb partition is present on my D drive (SATA).
The bcd fixing went well. I got the message ‘Boot files successfully created’
Unfortunately I didn’t click a photograph of the result.
Now I booted again in windows and I am seeing this result.
After pressing enter, I got this.
Now I am stuck and absolutely clueless about my next step. Please advise. Startup repair from windows bootable usb fails to repair startup without any error log.
