    Badly corrupted boot drive


    My goal here is to try to fix my current issues without deleting anything/any applications.

    Last month's update really damaged my computer badly for no absolute reason at all. Now my pc is near to inaccessible.

    Other suggested media creation tool which i could not use due to the app giving me the error -1073741515 every time i attempt to open it. I will IGNORE every response to this thread that involves something that requires me to open a certain app due to how nearly all of the repair apps are non functional/apps that are provided by windows are inaccessible. I would accept any response/answers that involves me using a second pc/using my thumb drive or any solution in/outside my OS BIOS that does work. Thank you for your attention.

    Edit: Resetting my pc does not work as Windows doesn't give a clear message as to why it failed several times.

    :)

    Badly corrupted boot drive

    Can't boot from DVD drive

    Is your controller in RAID/AHCI modes? If so, the DVD drive will be listed as a separate device in the list of available boot devices, not as "CDROM". Remember that when setting boot device priority. Otherwise, read the manual to see which hotkey during POST brings up the boot menu that lets you select which device to boot from. Even here, the drive will be listed separately, and not as "CDROM".
