Windows 10: LOST troubleshooting option, advanced settings

Same error

 

When you get error 3. That means Windows cannot locate WinRE tool (WinRE.wim). You might want to download:
Free download Magic Partition Manager Software, partition magic alternative, free partition magic, partition magic Windows 7 and server partition software - Partition Wizard Online
Install and run. Right click on R partition->Explore to see if the file is there. see screen shot as an example:

 

It's there. The letter isn't there though. I ran the same commands in Diskpart again and even though it says it was successful in assigning the letter R, it still does not appear.

 

As I said earlier, it won't show up in Disk Management but should show up under "This Computer". Do you see it under "This Computer" ? If not, then use Minitool to set it. Right click on it->Change Letter then click "Apply" on the top left to commit the change.

NOTE: Assign to "R" just so you can identify it as Recovery, You can assign any available Letter and try it again

 

Sorry for the mix up, I meant that I couldn't see the drive letter in the minitool. I was able to set the drive letter in minitool and it shows up perfectly fine now but running the reagentc commands still return the same error.

I really appreciate your help with this.

 

OK. Try the command again as follows:
REAGENTC.EXE /setreimage /path R:\Recovery\WindowsRE

 

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10240]

C:\WINDOWS\system32>REAGENTC.EXE /setreimage /path R:\Recovery\WindowsRE
REAGENTC.EXE: Operation failed: 3

REAGENTC.EXE: An error has occurred.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>


​Same error.

 

Any ideas what could be causing it? *Sad

 

@Randomrocket8
From the screen shot of your disk management. You have 3 partitions: 100MB, C: Partition and 450MB Recovery partition. If I am not mistaken, you did upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7. During the upgrade, certain thing might get corrupted or broken and not working correctly unless you perform a fresh install.

On a fresh install with MBR partition scheme, you will have only 2 partitions: 500MB System Reserved and C: Drive. However, If you do a fresh install, you would have to re-install all the third party applications, re-configure Windows to the way you want etc....

One way to correct the problem without losing anything from C: Drive and end up with the partition scheme as if you do a fresh install. Just follow this link:
Solved Help With Partition Management - Windows 10 Forums

NOTE: The link shows how to install Windows 10 using GPT Partition scheme but would be the same procedure for MBR Partition scheme.

 

I guess I never responded to this. Thanks for your help, it worked and now everything is running fine again!

 

Better late than never. Thanks for reporting back.
