    Windows 10 Boot Drive Changed - stuck in windows repair loop


    So i recently had a electricity outage at home and when i tried booting up my PC i came to the Scanning and Repair screen. As soon as it started i got a blue screen saying BAD SYSTEM CONFIG INFO.

    So i tried once again but got blue screen again. Then again and the 4th time i got in Automatic Recovery, which hasn't worked as well.


    Then i opened up CMD in advanced diagnostics?(felsökning in swedish) And opened Diskpart and there i saw something was wrong.

    This is how it used to look before the whole crash.
    CWindows 10 Boot Drive Changed - stuck in windows repair loop :(named Hitatchi) Was my main drive where windows and everything was installed. (950GB)

    E: (named Western Digital) Were and internal EXTRA drive that had some games on it but mostly adobe programs. (74gb)

    --

    THIS is how it looks now:

    C: (still named Hitatchi) Has the content and size of E: (75gb with games & adobe) but still has the old label??

    E: (still named western digital) And has the content of C: (all my main files and Windows Installation)


    Somehow the content switched/drive switched place but the pc cant notice it cause the label is still the same?

    I've tried ONLY having the 950gb drive connected but still got blue screen, and also tried with the 74gb which of course didn't work because theres no windows installed on that drive.


    I don't know how this happened and I'm desperate to fix it! I've got things worth 10 years of experience(I know bad to not back it up) on it Windows 10 Boot Drive Changed - stuck in windows repair loop :(


    (NOTE: Im currently running chkdsk E: /f /r (since old C: is now EWindows 10 Boot Drive Changed - stuck in windows repair loop :) and it says ETA: 3h so i'll se if this works, still appreciate help!)

    :)

  2. Windows 10 random automatic repair after changing boot priority.

    Hello. So i have an Windows 10 Pro. Sometimes when i am changing in bios boot order from USB to HDD ( SDD ) windows starts booting with AUTOMATIC REPAIR and then restarting. Is this something with BIOS \ Windows 10 bug related? Tested on pc and on laptop , and sometimes it doing the same.


    Situation on PC first,listen:

    Few days ago after i change boot in UEFI BIOS from USB to SSD.
    Then Windows 10 showed at 1 boot Automatic Repair.
    When starting Windows 10 boot loader starts by "preparing automatic repair" and diagnosing pc.
    Interesting is that if I restart Windows (after procedure mentioned earlier) it will boot normally. This startup problem was occured only when starting system again after shutdown or restarted pc from windows.So i was needed 2 boots to boot properly to windows.
    But on pc, format was needed to remove completely issue and after format is fine.

    Pc :
    2x8gb Kingston Hyperx 1600mhz DDR3
    SSD samsung Evo 250 gb
    4790k stock
    Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2 with UEFI BIOS


    Now laptop with old standard bios:
    On laptop i made the same operation, change boot from USB to HDD and on first boot Windows 10 shows Automatic Repair. But it happened once and i cant reproduce. No format was needed.

    laptop is very old with 2gb ram

    Why on pc format was needed when on laptop not?



    Thanks for suggestions.

    Windows 10 Repair Boot Loop

    Hi Jed,

    If your computer is stuck in a boot-loop state of Windows, it could mean that automatic repair isn't able to repair a corrupted or broken system file, but attempts to repair it over and over again. For us to assist you properly in resolving this boot-loop
    state, kindly respond to the questions below:

    • Did the issue occur even after removing the USB wireless mouse?
    • Aside from running DISM, what other troubleshooting steps have you done? This is for us to know and to avoid any duplication of efforts on your end.

    We look forward to your response.

    Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
