Windows 10: After Repair Windows Now Thinks C: is D: and Doesn't Boot

I recently followed the guidance to repair my PC, seen here:


https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...0/d7043300-9efe-4d83-ab6b-f71812981ca2?page=3

The good news is that this fixed the problem I was working on. The bad news is that now I have a new problem. Upon rebooting, windows cannot find the proper boot sector and it cannot boot properly, leaving me with a choice to Restart or Advanced Options.


Choosing Restart results in the same screen.


After poking around, there's an option for "Start Repair." Choosing this results in the message that it was not able to fix problems and the log has been saved on "D:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt"


This is interesting, of course, because Windows installed in C: and not D:.


After this, there is an option to "Shut Down."


Doing this, waiting a few seconds, and then turning on the computer, the system magically finds the proper boot and I am once again in a happy place.


However, restarting the computer in any way results in the same situation and I have to wind my way into Start Repair to get back into a proper boot.


I am not sure how much more lucky I will be with this approach and would like to find something a little more long-term viable.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


I did think about "reverting" my latest repair but it says that I will have to "reinstall some apps" and I am not looking to do that. I am not sure what that means? What are the "some" apps I will have to reinstall?


Thank you for any suggestions you can provide!

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

I ran SeaTools. These are the results:




Does it mean my HDD is useless?

Thanks for your answer, ken!

I deleted all my data. I had have it backed up.

I did a clean installation using the windows media creation tool (usb option).

No, I didn`t. I thought a clean installation would solve the problem.

After posting my previous message, I did it.





After chkdsk, I close cmd and tried to boot and the laptop just turned it off. This morning I`ve restarted it and automatically windows did a repair. Windows has booted and it seems that the repair tool has removed chrome and acrobat pdf reader (the only two programs I had installed after reinstalling windows).

Now Windows is installing updates and restarting my lapop, I`m kind of frightened. I don`t want it to happen again. Anyhow, I want to know what has brought the issue

I`ve been looking for information about the error code at the end of the picture and I didn`t get anywhere.

Hello everybody.
First of all, I want to apologize for my English, is not my natural language.
After a normal power off, my laptop didn`t run Windows normally and showed a blue screen saying
"Your pc ran into a problem and needs to restart. [...]
Stop code: BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO"
After several restarts, the display showed "preparing automatic repair' and 'diagnosing your PC'. The result was 'automatic repair couldn't repair your PC' and gave a log file, D:\WINDOWS\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt.
I tried to restore windows to a previous point, but it was impossible (It was not possible to delete some file at D:\$MFT\. Error 0x8007007b).
I decided to reinstall windows. Only 24 hours after reinstalling windows, the same problem appeared again.
Following a friend`s advice, I opened srttrail.txt using cmd.
All error codes were 0x0 except "check installing lcu". That one was 0x17 (I don`t know how to copy the file and post it here. I`m sorry).
I searched in google for a solution but i didn`t find anything helpful.
Could anyone help me, please! Thanks
