    Rebuilding my bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd - Unlike everyone else it found one installation on...


    Every other example of rebuilding the boot record here and on line give this first step of typing:X:\windows\system32>bootrec.exe /rebuildbcdScanning all disks for Windows installations.Please wait, since this may take a while... and it did take a very long timeHowever, unlike all the other examples I have found so far I got this answer...Successfully scanned Windows installations.Total identified Windows installations: 1[1] D:\WindowsAdd installations to boot list? YesY/NoN/AllA: __What do I answer here ? Y, N, or A ?I am doing this to try and get out of the "Repairing your PC" in

    bootrec /scanos or bootrec /rebuildbcd not working

    I'm getting an odd issue where if I run either command, they don't run all the way through. bootrec /scanos doesn't tell me how many (if any) installations of Windows were found, and bootrec /rebuildbcd tells me it might take a while, but then quits after
    a few seconds with no other words.

    Might be worth nothing that bootrec /fixboot returned as having denied access.

    Any thoughts?

    Windows.old automatically deleted the day after installing Windows 10

    A simple websearch would have given you info quicker than complaining about someone suggesting to upgrade to Windows 10 and something causing the Windows.old to be deleted, which I doubt was caused by Microsoft.
    Rebuild System Partition

    The second way here we can put forward is to rebuild the system partition. If you don't want to pay a penny to do the lost partition recovery, try this method. Note that this requires you have the Windows installation disk. Now follow the instructions to begin.
    Preparatory work:
    Boot the computer using the Windows installation media for your running OS. Then on the first installation screen, press SHIFT+F10 to bring up the command prompt.
    Now run the following commands at the command prompt.
    Step 1:
    bootrec /fixmbr
    Step 2:
    diskpart
    select disk 0
    list partition
    select partition n (n is the Windows OS partition)
    active
    exit (exit diskpart)
    Step 3:
    bootrec /fixboot
    Step 4:
    bootrec /rebuildbcd

    Windows 10 Boot

    In the bootrec.jpg image:

    Rebuildbcd found 1 copy outside of the windows store.

    Total identified Windows installations: 1

    Repeat the steps in the image:

    bootrec /fixmbr

    bootrec /fixboot

    bootrec /scanos

    bootrec /rebuildbcd

    Add installation to boot list? Yes/No/All:

    type: Y

    then enter key

    It should display :

    The operation completed successfully. (The BCD rebuild is complete.)

    reboot

    It it works that will complete the troubleshooting.

    If it fails then it may be able to be rebuilt with additional steps.
