PC won't boot to Windows 10 from SSD

Anonymous

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?

Motherboard: MS-7728

BIOS version: E7728MLN.209

Hi,

The DVD should look\work just like the flash drive... Just slower...

The first thing you should see after the Windows Icon is INSTALL...

If not, the DVD is not created correctly... Media Creation Tool burned the DVD ?

Same thing when trying to do the Repair Install... It needs to copy a lot of files... Where are you seeing the spinning dots ?

I will check on my machine so I can get a better idea of what you should see...

I booted to Windows, mounted the DVD in windows to start it and removed the flash drive. Then I started the DVD to install and keep apps+files. The spinning dots are still in windows, before any reboot.

When I boot from the DVD, created ISO which is burned both by Windows media creation tool, I don't see repair?

The BOOTREC commands don't work on the DVD booted either, elements not found or so. Legacy/UEFI problem?

Hi,

You should not be seeing a "Welcome" screen when booting from the DVD...

Something went wrong...

It sounds like the machine actually booted partially into Windows before detecting an error...

Try booting with the DVD again, but select it in the Boot Options menu to make sure it boots from the DVD...

How did you make the DVD ?

Unfortunately, the same problem:

"This install from within Windows stops at "Checking if there is enough free space available". When I plug in the USB drive again, the install is continued.."
