Hi,

My pc running windows 10 had the boot/startup error occur earlier today and it isn't the first time. Previously, I used a usb stick to use the recovery tools and it worked although this time it did not.

I decided to try to run some other commands in the command prompt that recreated a bunch of boot files and my bios now shows me 5 booting options; 3 named windows boot manager (previously there was 1 which I would boot from normally) 1 that was just named after my SSD, and the usb plugged in. I tried a few other options but I kept running into errors such as this one and inaccessible boot device. Is there any other method? Am i able to just reinstall windows without losing anything?

Thanks!

    Hi ,

    Now you will download Fdisk in the driver below and place it on the USB Flash driver so we can continue with the conversion. Remember that the procedure may fail and if it fails you may lose the files.

    You will download and extract Gdisk on the USB Flash driver after booting again on the USB Flash driver select repair Windows > troubleshoot > prompt on command > Enter notepad > File > Open > Change file type for all files > go to the USB Flash Driver drive > in the Gdisk folder > right-click on gdisk64 and select open or run.

    Enter the diskpart command then list disk, check if there is only volume 0 and 1, take a photo and post it here.

    Hi ,

    I understand, I apologize, set the default to UEFI boot on the USB Flash.
