Windows could not start the windows search service on local computer

I am trying to turn on windows indexing service by following one of the answer in this question

I got this error message

What's the actual problem?

Windows could not start the windows search service on local computer

 

Windows Search Service wont start, Index fails to rebuild

I go the same problem as here, but nothing in the thread helped:

Redirecting

I tried every single suggestion that I could find out there, nothing works.

I am quite sure it happened when I changed hard drives and renamed them and one of them contained the search index.

Did anybody ever successfully recover from this error?
