This tutorial was informitive , however he could have explained (briefly) what some of those last few commands steps were for.... Like he did in all of the earlier steps .... Ending the video with a brief summary of the Why's &Whens of the overall procedure implications ... other than that it was a good course .
I have followed your video but after I type List Disk I get the following
Disk 0 online 7680 MB (Status). 7679 MM (Free)Disk 1 online 29GB 29GB
I then selected disk 1it then states disk 1 is now the selected disk
DISKPART> list partition
There are no partitions on this disk to show.
DISKPART>
Can you please let me know if there is anything I could possibly do now ? As I can’t go any further with you video.

Why format for FAT32 as opposed to NTFS? Isn't NTFS the default file system since Windows XP?
Just a standard procedure copied from elsewhere. No explanation as to why particular commands were chosen. Slooooooowwww too.
I have followed everything except the last step showed "Failure when attempting to copy boot files" any solution?
Are you using a bootable media to access this?
I have the same problem use a usb recovery to access

Hey I have the same problem s just now, may I ask an alternative ?
virtual disk service error, the volume size is too big. gg wp need help
HurpDurp same then reset after that
Has there been any update with the error "Virtual disk service error: the volume size is too big". It seems quite common yet I cannot see that anybody has managed to get it fixed after this error. My partition is around 450GB.
Use ntfs instead of fat32 when you enter the format line
Thanks man, I was trying to fix this for hours
You're welcome!
You are a lifesaver! My drive had bitlocker encryption enabled but you taught me how to override it! You deserve a lot more recognition! Cheers❤️
You're welcome!
Hello & thank you very much for the information. I'm at the point of H:/EFI/Microsoft>bootrec /fixboot . I get access is denied. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
After 3 hours of these Fix It videos not work or cannot understand. So-oo glad you at least speak English I can understand.Have been without Internet and a computer over year now with no luck repairing. Plus no television to watch except movies I own. My only entertainment everyday has been my android phone. Fingers crossed this with work.
many thanks for your sharing. finally i could format my pattion 3. i used "format FS=NTFS"
Glad I could help
@@MDTechVideos AFTER THE FORMAT GOES 100% IT SAYS VIRTUAL DISK SERVICE ERROR:THE VOLUME SIZE IS TOO BIG WHEN I FORMAT WTF IS THIS ? PLS HELP
@@bendovahkiin8405 I don't know why format in fat32 is not the format used for O.S. - fat32 has limitations in size per single file and maybe your error is related to that. For O.S. partition NTFS system is used. Warning that this system supports EFS encryption.
Last step, when writte (dir Boot).
Then device show (file not found).
Why?
But you successfully going to exit step.
The same here any news?
Virtual disk service error : the volume size is too big , can you please help me thanks

If I am using a usb drive, what do I put in on the command line that is showing cd ( x:\Sources>cd /d h:\EFI\Microsoft)
If you can kindly elaborate, I will do my best to assist.
@@MDTechVideos instead of using the disc i'm using an usb flash drive how would we determine the drive for the flash
I am trying right now and I mess with the boot record, at one point it didn't let me to fix it with the commands available since it said something about the drive is write protected, it seemed to work again after changing the active partion for my storage partition which is bigger, usually windows installation is put in a smaller partition. For me, a new install would work, other video already suggest formating the drive which in the case is only for system it wouldn't be much problem, but be careful of the encrypted keys certificates and other relevant information that is stored on c without another possibility like browsers user files they out user files in c always, like chrome, opera or Mozilla Firefox. Now the issue with the incorrect active partion has been fixed with the repair tool that puts the logo of windows. I was planning to make the active partition again manually but this seems to work.
When i enter: ```bcdboot X:\Windows /l en-us /s h: /f ALL```, i get two errors:

your hard drive is probably dead
At the command prompt
diskpart
list disk
select disk 0 (or whichever partition you want to use)
clean
convert GPT
exit
exit
Now Continue Windows install

I got the partition is too large to format after waiting 3 hours to finish!
How big drive is it
After format fs=fat32 and waiting 3 hours I got
"Virtual disk service error: the volume size is too big". Any help what to do next?
Please elaborate.
MDTechVideos at the part of the video with the music and waiting my computer took a long time and it did not complete successfully. It said 0 percent completed. It said virtual disk service error: the volume size is too big.
How large is your hard drive?
MDTechVideos I think that primary one or largest number there said 689GB. Also it says raw. Maybe I need a video to change it. Does it have to be NTFS or something like that?
I had the same thing. The partition is 465 GB. What now??
will data be safe with this method?
