Windows clean install-sufficient hard disk storage space. Error 0x800700EE

Hi guys.

For over a week I tried to find the cause of this error message, without success. I want a clean reinstall of Windows 10 ver. 22H2 ver. 19045.2486, but will keep existing apps and settings. I use Multimdeia Creator for win 10, from a USB flash storage.

I know that a fresh install of Windows 10 will require 32GB of free storage space. My C: HDD had 77GB of free space. After deleting temporary files, trash, moving files from Dokumet and image folders, I now have more than 400GB available. I have also tried sfc /scannow oh chkdsk /c /f, the aforementioned with boot scan because the C disk must not be locked as it often is under Windows.

Does anyone know why this error might occur?

Very grateful for contributions here.

    Jeg legger meg inn i denne tråden og kan vise til dette resultat:

    Vol1 er min boot disk, i motsetning til vol4 som er et image kopi av OS, backup utført av MS Backup og recovery app.

    MEN, før jeg i det hele tatt kan benytte meg av bcdeit, jeg vil trenge å få bort denne meldingen:

    C:\Users\Administrator>bcdedit

    The boot configuration data store could not be opened.

    Volumet for en fil er endret eksternt, slik at den åpnede filen ikke lenger er gyldig.

    C:\Users\Administrator>

    Lengre og forbi at dette stadiet fremdeles er representert, befinner jeg meg per i dag ikke.

    Vell, kompliserte operasjoner, "for en ikke ""så"" nerd" innen data verden og forståelse.

    MEN, jeg har et verktøy, en app her som heter AOMEI Partisjons Assistent.

    Siden dette er et, nettopp PARTISJONS verktøy, kunne jeg har utført en handling som setter opp de korrekte "systembiter" etter dette bidet ditt innlegg viser til?

    Vurdere å sende en disk og vol liste til opphavsrettighets utvikler av AOEMEI Partisjons verktøy og høre med dem, "hva gjør jeg".

    Kanskje en glimrende idé, nettopp fordi de selv er utvikler av dette partisjons verktøyet?

    I'd try rebuilding the BCD/boot files first. Pls see my other response (starting with the robocopy command-line).

    The second option is to use AOEMI or any other program to create an EFI partition (before C: drive) so that the EFI partition appears first. And then rebuild the BCD and boot files.

    Edit:

    If AOMEI can't do it, try other recommendations (such as MiniTool) here.

    Ja, her i dataverden er det en stor arena de man kan bare sitte igjen med inntrykket av undringer.

    Jeg skrev til Bitdefender med tickets og lurte på om de kunne forklare meg, HVA ER BEDRE med BD, sammenlignet med MS Bitdefender.

    Etter litt frem og tilbake fikk jeg forespørselen om å kunne forklare hva jeg mente med begrepet MS Bitdefender (???)

    Vel, jeg har forklart Microsoft Bitdefender til dem, og videre svar avventes fre support hos Bitdefender.

    I din kommando forslag:

    BCDEdit /Store Y:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD /Enum All

    Er dette svaret:

    C:\Users\Administrator>BCDEdit /Store Y:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD /Enum All

    The boot configuration data store could not be opened.

    Systemet finner ikke angitt fil.

    C:\Users\Administrator>

    Jeg byttet ut Y: til C. men det var ingen forskjell i svaret.

    Dette gjelder per i dag:

    (1) BitDefender isn't made by Microsoft. It isn't even offered in the MS Store. I guess it is a legit 3rd-party behemoth that means to take Windows Defender's place. But I don't think you need it. I suggest you pursue the effort to fully uninstall it & let Windows Defender reactivate. That's all you need. But I'm unsure BitDefender is causing the current problem(s) since you aren't reporting any alerts. But maybe it is. You haven't answered: Does Windows Defender think it is activated or does it know BitDefender is in charge at "Click Defender in Tray, Virus & Threat Protection, Manage Settings"? But pursue BitDefender's full removal.

    (2) Every time you post a List Vol, it looks a bit different. Can't you unplug all those extraneous HDD until this problem is over? Just leave Disk 0 plugged & any other internal HDD that is difficult to get at. Then, show us...

    DiskPart <<<Enter DiskPart

    List Vol <<<List the volumes & letters

    List Disk <<<List the disks

    Select Disk 0 <<<Focus on Disk 0

    List Part <<<List its partitions

    Select Disk 1 <<<Focus on Disk 1

    List Part <<<List its partitions

    == Continue to select & list each disk that showed up in List Disk. ==

    == ==

    == Then, put a letter back onto the EFI partition. It likely still looks like ==

    == Volume 3 NO NAME  FAT32  Partition  100 MB  Healthy  System ==

    Select Vol 3 <<<That presumes EFI still is Vol 3

    Assign Letter=Y <<<Give it letter Y -- (I wonder how it went away)
    Exit <<<Exit DiskPart

    BCDEdit /Store Y:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD /Enum All

    BCDEdit /Enum {fwbootmgr} <<<Show Firmware Boot Manager

    BCDEdit <<<Show Windows Boot Manager & Boot Loader(s)

    When you use "/Store", BCDEdit won't have to find the BCD on its own. So, maybe the error message won't happen & we'll see it. But try the other two (without /Store) also now that extraneous drives are unplugged. Maybe they will magically work too now. And what does MSInfo32 now say is your Boot Device? The last it said was ... 10. I think it needs to say ... 2 to be using the EFI that is on Disk 0.

    (3) Continue with Ramesh to make a Macrium system image. Then, use that article he recommended to fix your EFI. I think that should work although you get no MSR & EFI will remain the 2nd partition.

    (4) But, if you want the partitions where they normally would be, then I think this does it...

    (a) Shrink C: by 116 MB (Disk Management can do that).

    (b) Slide C: rightward fully past the 116 MB (3rd-party software is needed).

    (c) After that, the following would create an EFI & MSR where they belong. This certainly will not work while booted to Windows. I think you should boot to an external recovery environment to do this, not the internal one (Shift+Restart) ...

    DiskPart <<<Enter DiskPart

    Select Disk 0 <<<Focus on Disk 0

    List Part <<<Show its partitions

     Partition ###  Type        Size       Offset
    
     -------------  ----------  --------  ---------
    
     Partition 1     Primary    930 GB  1024 KB
    
     Partition 2     System    100 MB    930 GB       &lt;&lt;&lt;Current EFI
    
     Partition 3     Primary    589 MB   930 GB
    

    Select Part 2 <<<Focus on current EFI

    Delete Partition Override <<<Delete it

    Create Partition EFI Size=100 <<<Make a new EFI partition

    Format Quick FS=Fat32 Label="System" <<<Format it

    Assign Letter="S" <<<Give it letter S

    Create Partition MSR Size=16 <<<Create MSR of 16 MB

    List Part <<<Should see EFI & MSR at front now

    List Vol <<<Show volumes & letters

    Exit <<<Leave DiskPart

    == Examine the List Vol to see what letter is on the Windows partition. ==

    == Use it in the following BCDBoot command instead of C (if different). ==

    == Volume 1 C BOOT DISK C NTFS Partition 930 GB Healthy Boot ==

    BCDBoot C:\Windows /s S: /f UEFI <<<Populate new EFI -- not necessarily C:.

    Reboot hopefully to a functioning Windows.

    Definitely have a Macium system image available in case of problems. And know how to restore it.

    Those "create partition" commands should each start looking from the beginning of Disk 0 for the 1st instance of the amount of space specified & deposit the new EFI (100 MB) & MSR (16 MB) partitions into it. I hope that will work. Good luck.
