Windows 10: Startup Repair Error - Wrong Drive In Logs

I'm getting constant BSOD's at the moment, which I'll address separately, but for now... Startup Repair is giving me a headache.After running it, I get "Startup Repair couldn't repair your PC".Log file: D:\Windows\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txtNow, the strange thing is that the above path doesn't exist. D: is only used for storage. Windows is stored on C:.So, I navigated to the same path on C: and the file exists. Within the file, it shows the below. Why is it stating Windows is installed on D? How do I fix this?Startup Repair diagnosis and repair log --------------------------- Last succe

Error Log Reading

Hi ankurshaswat.

Sorry I can't tell from logs but all data appears to be very old. Like September. Here is a list of quick fixes that can help from an MS article.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/win...dy_UpgradeTips
Quick fixes The following steps can resolve many Windows upgrade problems.

• Remove nonessential external hardware, such as docks and USB devices.
• Check all hard drives for errors and attempt repairs. To automatically repair hard drives, open an elevated command prompt, switch to the drive you wish to repair, and type the following command. You will be required to reboot the computer if the hard drive being repaired is also the system drive.
  • chkdsk /F
• Attempt to restore and repair system files by typing the following commands at an elevated command prompt. It may take several minutes for the command operations to be completed. For more information, see Repair a Windows Image.
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  • sfc /scannow
• Update Windows so that all available recommended updates are installed, and ensure the computer is rebooted if this is necessary to complete installation of an update.
• Uninstall non-Microsoft antivirus software.
  • Use Windows Defender for protection during the upgrade.
  • Verify compatibility information and re-install antivirus applications after the upgrade.
• Uninstall all nonessential software.
• Update firmware and drivers.
• Ensure that "Download and install updates (recommended)" is accepted at the start of the upgrade process.
• Verify at least 16 GB of free space is available to upgrade a 32-bit OS, or 20 GB for a 64-bit OS.

Once you done all of the above could I suggest you follow this tutorial to install the upgrade. While non destructive I would recommend backing up all data off device.

Blue screen error while turning on the computer, FAT and NTFS file system errors

Hi Richard,

Thank you for posting your response.

Cause

One possible cause of this bug check is disk corruption. Corruption in the NTFS file system or bad blocks (sectors) on the hard disk can induce this error. Corrupted hard drive (SATA/IDE) drivers can also adversely affect the system's ability to read and
write to disk, thus causing the error.

As you are unable to log into desktop. I suggest you to create a Windows 10 installation media and perform a
Startup Repair on the device. Startup repair will not affect data saved in your computer. Once you are able to log into the computer you can back up the data to an external hard drive. This is an alternate way to boot the device
and run recovery tools when something goes wrong with the Operating system.

Please follow the steps below to do Startup repair:

Steps:-

• • • • • 
          Insert the installation USB drive
          and boot Windows 10 from it.
          
          If you don't have one, you can Create an installation Media.
          
        • 
          In the ‘Windows setup’ page select the ‘language to install’, ‘Time and currency format’
          and the ‘keyboard or input method’ and click on ‘next’.
          
        • 
          Click on ‘Repair your computer’ and select ‘Troubleshoot’.
          
        • 
          Click on ‘Advanced options’ and select ‘Startup Repair’
          and select the operating system.
          

Do let us know if you need further assistance and able to resolve Bluescreen error. Thank you.

 

Windows 10 RTM Startup repair does not work

I did create a recovery drive, as well as taking the time to create install media. startup repair did not work on any of them. all three methods for accessing startup repair give the same error listed in the srtrail log:

Root cause found:

---------------------------

The operating system version is incompatible with Startup Repair

the three methods to access startup repair in which startup repair does not work

• windows advanced recovery boot options
• windows recovery drive
• windows 10 Pro install media (USB)

I have not created an DVD install media because I lack any dvdr/rw media atm. but I suspect the results would be the same

as for recoverydrive.exe failing to create a recovery drive, I had to uncheck the option to add system files in order for the drive creation to work
