Windows 10: Rescue files when windows will not start

How do I rescue my files when windows will not start?

:)

 

Windows 10 No such device entering grub rescue

The thread you linked to does not help, using the steps taken in that thread nothing changes.

After a lot of searching when i boot i now i have the error Windows failed to start File:\Boot\BCD Status: 0xc000000f. However when I try to fix this using methods suggested elsewhere online I get the following results:

• bootrec /fixmbr
• The operation completed successfully

• bootrec /fixboot
• Element not found

• bootrec /rebuildbcd
• Finds 1 identified windows installation however when i click A to add it to the boot list it returns element not found.

• bootrec /scanos
• Finds 1 installation of windows and completes successfully
  

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Virtual Disk Service error when creating WinPE Rescue Media


Thanks.

I have a suggestion. You advise restoring from a Macrium Image from within Macrium Rescue Media rather than from within Windows itself (that is, not with the normal desktop showing). It seems to me that would have to be be done without access to your tut (which is online). I have therefore printed it out on paper and filed it away. I suggest you might like to consider putting a note about that at the end of Part 5 of your tut.

It is really very helpful to have well illustrated step-by-step tuts like this. Thanks for all your efforts.
