Windows 10: SSD wiped itself

It means you need Windows 10 installation media, in either 32 or 64 bit to match your system, to run recovery tools from.

 

Yeah it's on my USB stick, it worked 2 nights ago. If it wasn't for being on a data cap during the day would be no problem, now I have to stay up till midnight to try and make another one. Probably going to do a. ISO this time

 

I'm not positive, but I think you get that if the OS on the problem machine was installed in UEFI mode and the Install Media is not.
Let me see if someone else knows.

 

Hmm, add that problem to the mix..

 

@daktoahorse24 your PC prob has a button to press during boot to bring up boot drives it looks like your not running the USB in UEFI so either boot to Bios and see if the USB is showing UEFI and "Normal" then just select UEFI, or make a new stick and make sure its UEFI only Some programs will make the stick with both UEFI and "Normal"

 

It's showing us in bios as UEFI, however could the system not recognize UEFI now, I ask because when using an older win 10 disc (first day it came out), I have 2 options in bios for CD drive one UEFI and one normal, try for EFI I get error, however if I out the normal one for 1st boot it loads right up.

 

Now this screen instead of no bootmgr...OS is there, verified it on another PC. Starting to see a reset on my future...

 

To access Recovery Tools, are you using a CD or a USB thumb drive?

 

Can you run the "free mini tool" again and take a screenshot with the camera so we can see the drive's layout and partitioning?

You should be able to boot to the mini tool (CD or USB) on the problem machine.

 

If you want to make a bootable USB Recovery Drive, use this tutorial:

And be sure to uncheck the box mentioned in Step 5 of Option 1.

 

@TV2 I was using a USB and I just downloaded the ISO for a CD. Yeah, I will get a screenshot

 

Hi.
Just a thought - if a virus, and boot is gone, you could try rebuilding it through the option in Macrium Reflect Free. That program (Macrium) is available in Kyhi's custom rescue media. It also gives you a W10 desktop and lots of other programs. You could run chkdsk, and even copy over your user files while you're in it.
Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk - - Windows 10 Forums
You can also run Malwarebytes while in that.
(Sorry if you've tried this already -I haven't read all three pages.)

 

No I haven't tried that. I'll look at getting those 2 programs. Really appreciate the help

 

One download - Kyhi's rescue media has Macrium and Malwarebytes in it. If you look at his page, he has a pic of all the programs it includes.

 

Disk 2 is my HD, currently in a USB enclosure on my wifes laptop.
