I used windows 11, the problem was solved with your tutorial, thank you my Indian friends. I will never forget your video in my life. Thank you so much my friend. From Indonesian guy, Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatu?
You're a lifesaver bro! Btw if anyone has windows on other disk than C, you just change the letter c (for example in the first command or in the c:\windows....) to the letter of disk u have it on.
I don't usually comment but.. This guide actually helped! Just keep in mind that when he says to type "c:\" it's because it is there he has the system, you might have it on another disc, follow the guide but type your system drive and it'll work
So you don't follow where your 'windows' is only your 'system' that you can check on diskpart? I have no letter assigned to my system, this might be why some of these commands are showing up as invalid.
Liking the comments of people who didn’t find your video helpful isn’t the solution to their problem. Your video is exactly the same same fix as all the other existing ones on UA-cam right now. You basically copy pasted a fix that was put out years ago. This isn’t working on computers in 2022 so I suggest that if you want growth and the possibility to do UA-cam as a fulltime job to not only read the comments but try to find solutions to these issues. Thanks.
I updated my computer to the new version of windows and my computer would not work. I just entered your commands to check the disc, I have a bunch of replaced bad cluster in files… I’m still waiting. This was a total disaster and lots of wasted time. Your video really helped me out. I would have had to call an IT company to fix my computer! Thank you!! 🎉
Great! I got this problem, tried to solve for 2 days long. Then I found on web your video. Reading at start all this "thanks comments" I had a feeling like "bot fake comments"🤔😅 (But aren't!) At the end I tried to follow your instructions and seems to work again for now! Even if I don't know what that procedure do 😅 but I have to really thank you a lot‼️🙏😁
I tried all this black magic and nothing (hope it worked for some). A proficient friend of mine just asked me to do just a thing which was to get in the BIOS, locate Storage Devices and in the Storage Options, look for SATA Emulation and swap it from RAID+AHCI to IDE (He asked to swap to AHCI or RAID but my PC has only two options here - IDE and RAID+AHCI). Thanks to him, my baby is up and running, however he told me there must be a configuration issue in my PC which, if resolved, will tremendously speed up my PC. I am looking forward to having him come over, ask him to correct that issue and reward him for his help. I am not the smartest guy but lucky me I am surrounded by a bunch of smart-a$$es.
If swapping it to IDE didn't do sheet, try the other options in SATA Emulation and see how they go. He also told me that proceeding as in the video might be dangerous especially if this leads to radical booting files changes. DON'T PLAY AROUND WITH SYSTEM FILES.
I was panicked a lot bcs I need to go abroad but my laptop suddenly blue screen with this problem. I tried to fix it with this video and it'a worked!! Thank you so much, sir!
Thanks very much for the video, after bloody Windows updates slowing my pc down I stupidly shut it down improperly causing this bloody blue screen but your video has given my PC life again, thanks a lot mate😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much!! I was worried that maybe this video wont work same as others but, it worked so perfectly well and super fast!!! Again thanks for your amazing video! Keep up the great work sir.
can you please help me i was doing what you said in the video (i was in step two just like in the minute 0:51) but then my laptop just turn off and now i can't turn it on (i had never have problems with the batterie or the charger) but now thr charger won't even turn the on light if i dont press the novo bottom (its a lenovo IdeaPad slim 1) but the charging light only lasts a minute before turning off I don't know what to do
Thank you. It worked for me on my windows 10. When I enter command /fixboot i get message that access is denied, but I ignored it and continued and it worked.
Before go to do the steps , go to comond and type : diskpart.(hit enter) Then a few sec write list disk (enter), then select vol (enter), list vol (enter) here you see the volumes and the letters of you disk. If your c(windows) has deferent letter just write for example, select vol 2 then it says are selected. Write again assign letter=c: , hit enter. To see if you doing it OK type again list vol and see what you do . If you are OK, type exit and go to do the comand this video !😉🫡
Hi there, After I type in command: copy *.* backup” it comes up with “BBI - There is not enough space on the disk” as well as for all the rest of the rows BCD - Template, Components, Default, Drivers etc. And at the end it says “0 file(s) copied” I was thinking could I copy the files onto drive D:\ somehow ? Anyway to fix that… seems like I’m the only one and I can’t find help. Thank you
It means your harddrive is not marked at c: drive Could be marked as D: or something else jist figure out which letter the harddrive is under and instead of c: put that letter in the command
Rip for us then because all who asked this never got a correct answer or response at all, best hope is just to reset and hope u didn't have cherished family memories or something on ur PC, I already accepted the loss of all my local music files I had
@@TOFASJR I hope this isn't too late but this is often because some don't have system32(windows) on their c: Drive. Change the prefix to whatever drive you have it on, D: E: J: whatever. It would be CD d:/windows/system32/config for me because I have windows on my primary SSD which is my D: drive.
@@ScrungusLordBungus thanks but that didn't work later down the line because my PC would still have critical error, I just ended up re installing windows and now my PCs back up, saved all my files just not programs and files for apps, pc is also hella buggy and slow now (wasn't prior) but hey it'll hold me until I can buy parts for a new PC project
At the very first screen check what drive the logfile is on, if its not C: then its probably a faulty connection to your C drive. Mine says E: for the logfile and when talking out my ssd which is my C drive, the exact same happens. Just a heads up.
What it means when is try to type the cd c: \windows\system32\cobfig and it just says the system cannot find the path specified ? Someone pls help my pc been broken for months
Hi, Firstly, am fascinated glad to see such efforts of resolving many such technical problems being faced (am sure by too many around). Currently, am trying to fix such a desktop system with newly installed win 10. At command line copy *.* .. (it says - the system cannot find the file specified. 0 files copied). /fixmbr line - done well. am getting stuck in command line from - bootrec /fixboot (saying - Access is denied). Would you be able to share options to resolve the same from there on ? Much Thanks in Advance God Bless
