PC won't boot to Windows 10 from SSD

I bought my PC years ago with only a HDD. I added a SSD myself afterwards. When I booted my PC after a hard shutdown/electricity fallout I had only my HDD in BIOS. I then boot from HDD, get an error and let the PC reboot. After a few times the SSD would be recognized in BIOS and I could change the SSD to default.

I got tired of this proccess a few days ago and found a tip to disable the hdd-partition with diskpart. The first time I had a hardreset again (mouse and keyboard froze and pc didn't shutdown with a single press on startbutton), I couldn't do the HDD boot-trick and tried changing the cables from hdd to ssd (ssd in sata1). This didn't help. In diskpart I made the SSD partition active. I now can see the SSD in BIOS, but booting gives an error "An operating system wasn't found.". When I retry diskpart, the partition could be made active again. It seems like this resets..

Bootrec.exe /FixMbr was successful

Bootrec.exe /FixBoot gives no access error (there could be some parts left of a dual boot setup)

chkdsk gives no problems found

Mediatool boot:

  • This PC can't be recovered with start-uprepair.
  • You need to choose which installation of Windows you would like to put back when using Systemrecovery.
  • Reboot, select a operating system and select Systemrecovery. No systemcopy available.

How could I make my pc boot again?

PC: MEDION AKOYA P5367 D EU (MSN: 10015458)

Motherboard: MS-7728

BIOS version: E7728MLN.209

SSD: Kingston SV200 (128GB)

HDD: ST1509DL003-9V (1500GB)

    I can't run the mounted Windows 10 ISO without the USB flash drive (no external drives, virus software stopped). It stucks at PC checking with spinning dots. The moment I add back the USB drive, it gives this error: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3086249/we-couldn-t-update-system-reserved-partition-error-installing-windows 

    There is indeed a reserved NTFS-partition of 549MB (D:) on the SSD, which seems to be empty.

    Thanks a lot!

    I will test them tomorrow. 

    Because I was about to start the upgrade without the USB drive, I removed it. Now I even can't reboot (stuck at spinning dots Reboot) and need to hard shutdown again..

    Here might be a better answer...

    Here's what finally worked for me after trying multiple times and multiple ways.

    Unplug all external drives (from what I can gather from a web search this particular reference to 0x80073B92 - 0x20009 has something to do with external drives).

    Go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistributions\Download and delete anything in that folder if there is anything there.

    Hi,

    The USB may or may not be part of the problem...

    Any 3rd party Antivirus or malware program might interfere as well...

    The answer on this thread may or may not be helpful...

    I tried it with the ISO mounted and HDD unmounted, but it gives an error code 0x80070002 - 0x200009 "The installation failed in the Safe_OS with an error during PREPARE_ROLLBACK operation".

    But I did forget to remove the USB drive before doing the repair..
