    Failure when attempting to copy boot files (WinPE)

    Hello,

    for some reason the bootable windows installer does not work properly on my PC so I am trying to install windows 10 with WinPE.

    I successfully apply the install.wim image with dism but when I try to copy the boot files with "A:\Windows\System32\bcdboot A:\Windows" I get "Failure when attempting to copy boot files".

    Anyone know what I can do? I made sure the partition is active.

    "Failure when attempting to copy boot files"

    So it all started with my laptop getting the "An operating system wasn't found" error when trying to boot up Windows. I'm using instructions from here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/kb/3103656

    I got to this part: "bcdboot C:\Windows /S C:" but when I enter that into command prompt, I get the "Failure when attempting to copy boot files" error.

    What do I do?

    Failure when attempting to copy boot files on Windows 10

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
