Windows 10: Boot problems - boot configuration missing, installations 0

When I start my pc cold or most of the time from sleep, it will say "0xc0000034 - boot configuration data file is missing or corrupted. It doesn't happen when I restart, go into uefi boot config and then exit/reset without changing any settings. I think going into the boot manager overrides some sort of default boot setting.

This started after I reinstalled windows as a cleanup/fix when it wouldn't start from sleeping, the screen would just remain black. Windows is on an ssd, my stuff is on the hard drive. I suspect I did something wrong during installation but I have no idea what. I'm happy to do a clean install if it comes to that. In the meantime I'll be backing stuff up.

I've tried the bootrec routine
and when I try the "diskpart active" fix on the windows disk C:\, it says "the selected disk is not a fixed MBR disk. The active command can only be used on fixed MBR disks"

Thanks in advance.

Dual Boot?

I can help here iv had both i used partition magic to split my HDD and i installed vista on one and xp was already on the other only problem is id watch out if i were you for some reason vista does not like to dual boot iv seen this on a couple of my machines and my buddys. so step one have xp installed step 2 find a partitioner of your choice i dont know of any except partition magic and the one included on xp...only thing is i dont think the one on xp will even partition them...then pop in your vista DVD and select the drive of your choice....the only thing i can think of that causes vista to hate dual booting sooo much is that when their are 2 OS's installed xp uses its own prog to list them on boot well vista uses a totally diff boot loader than the previous os's and i think they conflict the problems i hade were the standard missing windows folder missing HAL.dll and the nt one dont remember the name.....that and after your done vista and boot into xp things didnt like to start correctly specially if you scan disk with vista.

I had an installation of xp . Then I added an installation of windows 7 and dual-booted both. Now the xp installation won`t boot and I want to repair / re-install it. If I do this , will it remove the windows 7 boot-loader and if it does then how do I get back my working dual-boot configuration ?

 

Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information WINDOWS 10

Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information

Upon reboot, I ge the following message:
"Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.
File: \BCD
Error Code: 0x000000d

You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media, If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer."

I've followed steps of doing bootrec/rebuildbcd - it says "add installation to boot list? Yes(Y)/No(N)/All(A) - I've tried to select Yes and All but it comes up with the requested system device cannot be found.

I really don't want to lose my data so any suggestions would be great?
