Hi Brian, thanks for a great vid! Can we expect a guide regarding fixing BCD / MBR / GPT (assuming that HDD/SSD is not broken)? Including how to recognize what partitioning style is being used on a PC, if its UEFI or Legacy etc. There are tons of commands that we can try randomly hoping it will work - but explaining how its actually working and how to use those commands properly is something totally different. Would love to watch that video
Hi thanks for the great content, i have one issue when i run bootrec /rebuildbcd and type either A or Y it just says "the requested system device cannot be found." What can i do to fix this?
Hi, I know I'm 4 months late, but I hit a problem last night trying to do a system restore (win11) to a date at the beginning of Dec'22. My PC now won't boot and I keep getting the dreaded critical process died error. When I go to reset my PC it hits an issue trying either of the options. When following this video, I ran the bootrec /rebuildbcd and it identified ZERO windows installations...I'm completely stumped now. :( Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Hey everyone, i just got mine working and wanted to let everyone know what i did. I learned from somewhere that you need to hold left shift while restarting to get to more options, after that i went to system restore and there were restore points whereas previously it wasn’t working. my first restore point didn’t work so i chose another and it did work. i hope everyone can try this and get it working (i also did the command prompt commands listed in these videos just for safe measure and they also worked whereas they didn’t before) so basically i’m telling you to do the left shift restart thing before trying anything of this
Always wondered why Advanced option Reset Windows doesn't provide same opportunity as doing in-place Windows install that saves all apps and data. Why create need to reinstall apps?
You helped me so much my intire life in pc, i dont even need to watch it im just here to like the video, knowing you ill just go to my likes and saved link vid of yours whenever i run in the problem whenever i need it to
Weirdly enough, I get an error message from Windows 11 basically saying that I can't reset the whole operating system, I used secure boot as well as safe mode but I can't even get that to work
Best video everrr, I checked each video on internet, none of them helped. This video helped alott. Guys the method fully works, tested by me.This guys is greatt❤
I get the "Totaly identified windows installations: 0" thing, on bare metal. I guess grub or something screwed with the boot files, cant reset (i want to keep my files) or repair since it cannot find the windows installation, i guess i might have to just use some live iso and move my files from there
Is there any video to where I can not access the advanage startup setting like i can not find no video if someone is having issue getting pass the recovery blue screen
Hey, i directly clicked “exit and continue to windows” and now my pc is not turning on. The red cpu debug led blinks once and won’t boot. Need a SOLUTION.
Hi i have a problem where my laptop runs perfectly fine but when i get into Advance Boot mode, or safe mode it keeps auto restarting not just that if i put it into sleep mode about 10 mins the display is not showing anything but the machine still run what can i do?
Rebuild mentioned zero installations detected. Inaccessible boot device bsod error. It seems common. I'm guessing it relates to ssd corruption if it's not a windows issue
Thanks for the video! What if you can’t detect your OS? The drive is there, some partitions are detected and about 1 time in 20 I can actually get into windows successfully. Once there the boot partition scans as “healthy” but any restart ends in the same problem.
Are you scanning the correct directory? You can change the drive letter and then type DIR to see whether you can see the windows director. This will confirm you are in the right place
@@Britec09 Yes, now the bootsect /nt60 SYS says "the update maybe unreliable since the volume could not be locked during the update", "Access denied" and then it says "boot code was successfully uptated on all targeted volumes". After this when I ran bootrec /fix boot I still get access denied. I have checked the partition and it's Windows partition. ScanOs result is still 0
Like Amigan I followed your instructions and got the same results, apart from the last command. At the beginning it listed windows on the D drive, but i got the exact same messages on your screen (you said u were on a virtual machine) at the end of your video i did not have the option to answer yes or all so it did not work for me 😞
Thanks for this amazing video. Can this fix virtual machine vhdx? I am having the same automatic repair issue when attempting to boot a vm from an existing vhdx. I have followed your incredible steps to the part rebuildbcd and realise that your instructions were for physical machines :). Any way or is there a command to finish this off for the vhdx? Thank you so much in advance
Had to use a bootable media to obtain a Command Prompt, but it worked. Can't figure out why using the Disk Management under Computer Management keeps messing up my BCD.
Mine says 0 in found operating systems while yesterday i was just using my laptop normally like wtf, my antivirus (avira) did remove two files, one being a trojan horse but out of nowhere, i didn't install anything new
good evening ! Do you know of a software that allows moving folders and word files other than based on the criteria set by Windows Explorer? Thank you in advance !
There are a bunch of programs you could use but total commander comes to mind as this has been around for a very long time and is an awesome piece of software
UEFI GPT setup is for Windows 11. If you're installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, this will be using MBR master boot record setup as this uses old legacy hardware. So yes, if you're running a modern computer with Windows 11, then this method would be no use to you
Sometimes you don't HAVE a corrupted MBR, sometimes you spend an entire night after flashing your BIOS and your RST (intel rapid storage technology) is set to "On", and turning it to "off" makes your NVME disks come alive. You have spent the entire night trying to fix the wrong disk. Ask me how I know.
Hi Brian. I'm a new subscriber. I cloned and installed an ssd and also upgraded the ram from 4gb to 8gb. Everything worked well for a day but now I get a blue screen with an error message (0xc00000e) everytime I turn my laptop on.
Check your device manager by right clicking on the start button and select device manager. You may see an error or yellow! The piece of hardware doesn't have the correct driver. Try that and let me know

The problem is that I'm unable to access the prompt screen X:\Windows\System32 so repairing the boot record and rebuilding the mbr is not possible.
You can use cd /d C: to change drive path in CMD. powershell you can just use CD
Use the commands your familiar with to navigate
Great stuff 😉
New windows installed after some successful boots it started like this example. Whenever it happens it never repairs.
When I press y it says couldn’t specify the directed path any fix?
Hi sir, in my laptop after "bootrec /rebuildbcd" Total identified windows installations shows 0 what should i do?
I a certain you have solved this but just in case, maybe you need to ensure that the EFI partition is still there, if not you have to recreate it
@@direallocus I solved it but thanks
How did u solve it@@vedant7674
Hi Brian. This is for MBR partition. Does this apply for GPT partition as well?
This fix is for master boot record
@@Britec09 Thanks I thought so 🙂
Thanks still works!!
BOOTREC doesn't work for me: 'bootrec' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Maybe because you're set up is not MBR
