    Can't rebuild bcd or boot into uefi


    I get error code 0xc000000f when i boot into windows from the install disk
    I did a ubuntu install that went bad now when i try to boot up windows it goes to the grub command line. so far i tried these
    bootrec /fixboot (doesnt fail)
    bootrec /fixmbr (doesnt fail)
    bootrec /rebuildbcd (fails)
    and when i try to do a system restore or refresh or install it fails
    it wont let me boot into uefi from the install usb only mbr
    i also tried a couple bcd edit commands

    :)

  2. Stuck on "Requres a restart to finish installing"

    Could be a problem with the Dual Boot with Linux - especially if you're using GRUB to boot it - with additional complications if it's a UEFI install.

    I would reassert the Windows Boot Loader on the Windows System partition following

    How To Rebuild the BCD in Windows [10 to 20 Minutes].


    It would be best to have these on separate hard drives booted via the
    BIOS Boot Menu Key

  3. BCD problem, Identified Windows installations: 0 (Existing solutions haven't worked)

    That URL you followed...

    Trying to Rebuild Windows Boot Configuration Data (BCD)? Here's How

    How To Rebuild the BCD in Windows

    ...is smart enough to know "BootRec /RebuildBCD" does not add an OS into the BCD that is already there. Instead, it says...

    "

    X:\windows\system32>bootrec /RebuildBCD

    Scanning all disks for Windows installations.

    Please wait, since this may take a while...

    Successfully scanned Windows installations.

    Total identified Windows installations: 0

    The operation completed successfully.

    "

    So, the article then says to rename the BCD, so that it could be rebuilt. Steps 6 & 7 do that...

    6. attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s

    7. ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old

    BUT that won't work in a UEFI system. A UEFI system has the BCD in a separate partition - the EFI partition. I'd show you how to put a letter on it to use instead of C: - but I see you've
    solved the boot problem another way. Good going. (BTW, the ATTRIB command was unnecessary to do for me.)

    Can't rebuild bcd or boot into uefi

    I would boot the computer from a rescue drive/disk like Kyhi's:
    Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk - Windows 10 Forums

    Use Macrium Reflect to make a backup image of the partition Windows is installed to. Use MiniTool Partition Wizard to wipe the hard drive and re-initialize it as GPT. Do a clean install of Windows 10 using the Windows 10 installation media. Then restore the image you made back to the OS partition.

    You can boot from a Windows 10 installation drive, open a command prompt prompt, change to the boot folder on the installation drive and try the bootsect command.

    From the recovery console you can type bcdboot C:\Windows that should override the boot sector.
