Tried all the other videos that “pick up” where you said they do. This was the only one that worked for me. 4 years later and it’s still the most helpful.
I've been a Lead Systems Engineer for decades, and I still learn from you, Chris. I had no idea of a fix to be able back up the reg file this way, so now I do, thanks to you, good sir!
A lead system engineer that uses a TH-cam video? Should be you to know what to do. No words.
Sir you are a Legend. I knew that this repair was a thing but had no idea how to perform it properly, and your excellent guide helped me in a pinch and within 10 minutes my system was up and running again.
My man, 4 years later, and you were an absolute life saver. I tried installing Manjaro Linux on one of my non Windows drives and for some reason it ruined the bootloader. This is the only guide that fixed the issue.
Major props to you!
this was important that you replied,,. this reply saved me time. i was headed for two more hours instead of finishing this rebuild... so grateful
Hello : I'm having problems with my HP computer restarted the computer and now it's sowing Preparing Automatic Repair been watching videos on you tube
and the computer won't even open when i hit ctrl alt delete or escort f1 f2 f3 f4
try them all steel wont open up nothing can some one help me to what to do
thank you
Fixing Windows 10 is pretty much a course on it's own!
Ok
@@ccslorider5109 that's all you had to say?
@@Mkhwlani yeah!
@@ccslorider5109 but why?
Hmmm
Chris always gets to the core of problems and explains properly without wasting words. Experts learn from him.
He sucks, my issue is still there, his explanation are very confusing
Thank goodness. Every time I break my computer I have to go to TH-cam. This is the very best video on this particular subject. And this is in English!!!! Straight forward and to the point. Just and excellent video!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Chris!! This video saved my computer. My 15-yr old found your page so we went step by step together through the command prompts. The laptop is resetting as I type this and before watching we were unable to get past Bitlocker. If we ever encounter another problem we will come straight to you!
It really worked for me. I shorted my Windows while creating Ubuntu dualboot. I followed your video step by step, took many trials but it worked. The second part was specially very helpful.
I´m a brazilian computer technician since 1976 when I started to work on IBM Brazil as a engineering, and knowing how to fix their big computers at that time, and I´m still learning from You Chris... You are "The Man"... Thanks a lot!!!
Chris man you are brilliant, I am not big on technical stuff but following your tutorial step by step I managed to fix my laptop which I had preety much given up on. I have liked and subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much! Respect man.
Thanks for this video Chris, way better than most! This worked for stop code "inaccessible boot device" after a power failure, but in my case had to add one more step: boot into safe mode (4) once after this process, then it booted normally again.
Chris, I can't tell you how helpful this post was. Including the bcdboot cmd is ESSENTIAL to any good boot repair. I'd been struggling with a messed up vhdx, and this did the trick. Saved hours and hours of work. Many thanks!!
after installing Ubuntu I messed up windows boot and spent 6 hours trying everything Then I searched on TH-cam and the moment I saw chris in the thumbnail I knew I almost got it figured and in 2 minutes I got it all done. Awesome guy.
Didn't exactly know what I was doing as I was following along but I listened, followed step by step, and my issue was fixed! After the reboot I got a "We Couldn't Complete Updates Undoing Changes" error and flipped out a little ngl, but it eventually logged me on. Thank you so much! You just saved me stress, time and money. 🤝
I had this issue with booting Win11 today and I was amazed how many misleading videos were out there on TH-cam that somehow never fixed it at all. Your tutorial helped me eventually. Thanks!
It's 2:25 am and you saved my life!
After updating the bios, I booted the system - everything worked. I don't know what happened but after a reboot the system stopped booting - blinking cursor. I was scared if the bios update didn't break something. Your advices in the video saved my system. Thank you very much
Thank you! This was awesome. The most thorough video on boot recovery I’ve seen yet. It really helped
Thank you Chris! It worked! It's surprising how inconvenient it is to do this, but thanks to you, it was a lot less painful.
Does this deleted your data or programs or was the pc just like the day before the error occurred?
Many, MANY thanks for this video. The amount of headache and time you’ve saved me is huge. Thanks again
how
Thanks for your help, I just bought my laptop almost a month ago and I noticed the screen was blue today, I follow many tutorial on TH-cam on how to fix it but still came out the same. I came across your channel and followed your tutorial and it works thanks alot.
Holy moly, I must confess I wasn't expecting this to work at all!
Thank you so much! Definitely subscribing to the channel!
Best regards!
Pressed the bell icon ,liked ,shared,and SUBSCRIBED because this man deserves it .The commands were so much useful.
And for the first time anything got fixed by my hands
Thank you very much! It worked! I've watched many other videos and nothing worked. Spend a full day to resolve that issue. And finally it works now. Many thanks!
Thank you so much for making this video. I tried working with HP support and they were unable to fix the issue. Their solution was to reinstall the OS. Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge with us!
This video is a game saver... Thanks so much! I spent hours doing anything and everything else. Under 10 minutes with you and my laptop is booting again!
By what method man nothing worked with me
Is the data gone?
Great video!!!! This is useful information I'm going to try the next time I help a friend with a broken Windows system that can't boot. THANK YOU for posting this!
Dude … you’re a Gawd!!! I been struggling on this boot issue for the whole first day of 2022 … best wishes of the new year to you! Thanks SO much!! Following!
You saved me from reinstallation of win 10. Very good tips. I got solution following your video till 7th minutes. Very useful and time saving tips.
You saved me hours of work, I had to see the video many times but at the end I was able to understand. Your content is amazing! Keep up the good work :)
Do you face this 0xc0000098 error?
Does this deleted your data?
Man, you just saved me! I was getting ready to install all my system again, but decided to try your video as a last resource. Thank you so much! Just subscribed, you know your stuff.
Lol
Did it deleted your data?
@@alejandromanuelfernandezme4246 no
Usually, I dont comment on videos. But this one saved me tons of headaches. I was converting uefi to mbr, but my mobo didnt support it so I had to manually change some items and enable CSM in order to boot properly. Thank you!
It *worked*! I got one error that I had the wrong kind of BIOS, and a few of the commands came back with no message, but I've successfully booted the repaired system! Thanks, Chris!
We almost lost it, thanks for this one.
Thanks man, I have been struggling from 3 days, this fixed it
Yo do u think u can help me out I’ve been trying to Fix my pc for 2 days and I can’t fix it everything in this process worked except the C:\windows /s g: /f ALLit says failure When attempting to copy boot files
Same
Thank you so much! Before I stumpled across this instruction, I spent a whole day trying to repair my system startup with a couple of Linuxes, Windows and Haiku on its drive.
I encountered a startup issue when converting my HDD from mbr to gpt. I was quite surprised about the complexity of the solution, but your video was very helpful, thanks!
Thank u so much. Tried other youtube vids but yours explains so clearly and completely. I know bits and pieces about computers but I felt sure I would end up with a reinstall/ early backup restore this time. Really good to learn how to do these things anyway. Will defo look at your other vids. Excellent stuff 🙂 Will also follow advice about registry backups as well. Been looking at Linux. Becoming more encouraged to take the plunge every day👍
I don’t normally write comments but I wanted to thank you for this video! Appreciate it!
It is a very well done video on how to fix broken Windows startup. He is very clear and concise about what needs to be done, none of the non sense humors from other posters. I happened to have a Dell Inspiron 15 gaming laptop with i7 CPU, 16GB, discreet Nvidia 4GB GPU, 4K TFT display, that I have to do this a lot, mainly because Windows got corrupted after a DPC Watch Dog Violation error that crashed Windows. Unfortunately, Dell HW diagnostics did not find any HW errors so my computer crashed every now and then with this dumb error and no resolution for. I used similar procedures to rebuild the boot partition on this machine at least 10 times, after reloading Windows from scratch a few times prior. This video is one of the best I have seen to fix Windows boot partition.
I am forever subscribed you saved my life. I spent HOURS sorting this out and your video was the one that fixed my issue. Xoxo
OMG! I have tried everything since last week and finally found the solution here. I can't thank you enough for making this video. Infinite likes for this video. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Did it deleted your data?
No way, I somehow managed to revive my old laptop simply by reassigning the C drive. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I spent 6 hours searching for a solution and this is the only thing that worked.
I never make comments on videos but this IS crazy helpful. The only tutorial to actually fix a problem. You are a legend man.
I love you Chris Titus (plz don't tell my wife). [Heartfelt] thank you. Only took me 15 hours to find you...
You were the only one that actually had a fix that worked! Thank you so much!
LOLLL PLE DONT TELL MY WIFE XDDDD
whenever i press turn off and then boot it back up i’m just stuck at the infinite boot loading screen where it powers off and back on
Me too, it works for the day but I shut it off again and I have to retype this whole mess
Anyone know how to fix this yet?
@@syndee8302 I’m having this issue… still nothing works and bought a whole new mobo and cpu……….
@@Mike604 figure out how to fix it?
Hey same issue do you remember how you fixed it ?
The best explanation and method. It's working completely fine after following this method. I was following it from other sources no one explained why access was denied. But you did. Thank you so much.
My M.2 drive is now restored thanks to this excellent video. The boot was corrupted after I changed my processor core settings with msconfig, I tried several methods to recover, but all failed in continuous loops, I neven tried to repair all files within windows that were changed on the date the system did not boot, changing attributes and permissions to each file, but that did not work, so I restored all files back. I kicked myself for not going here first and investigate the partitions, a huge thankyou, I am now subscribed :-)
Hi Chris, great video! I have a question though. I cannot boot into my Windows 10 PC (normally). I can boot into safe-mode which is where I am entering the commands (via the CMD window). My C: drive is shown as "System" and that is the drive where Windows resides. I don't have any drive/partition for "System Reserved". In my case, would the following commands use C: in place of what you referred to as your system reserved (G:)?
bcdboot c:\Windows /s : /f ALL
bcdboot c:\Windows /s C: /f ALL
Also, I tried (I got the two error messages on the last two commands):
bootrec / fixmbr
bootrec / fixboot (Access is denied)
bootrec / scanos (The resource loader cache doesn't have loaded MUI entry)
bootrec / rebuildbcd (The resource loader cache doesn't have loaded MUI entry)
Thank you for your help!
Sincerely, Kevin.

You helped me so much with this Video 2 Years ago!!! My Musiccomputer was no more able to start up. I have made a Clone of my System Harddrive and i made step by step in the comandprompt what you showed me in your Video. It was for me like a wonder because after this my Music Computer started again up, my whole Musiccomputer worked again and i still work with this repaired Windowssystem ! Few months ago i had the same start up Problem with my Computergraphics System. I folowed again the steps of this Video and also my Computergraphics System is repaired and again working !!!
Thank you so much for your Videos, i can learn so much from you !!!
Wow!!! You,re a life saver!!! Thank you for this video this saved me from doing a clean windows install and loosing all my files and saved me from hours of headache to reinstall everything... Just wow can't thank you enough.
Oh man, you saved my PC, THANKS!
U ARE A LEGEND. I AM DEFINITELY SUBBING. I LITERALLY WATCHED 100 VIDS AND THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT FIXED. I LOVE YOU
Brilliant. Thank you so much. Just got my child's PC back up using these tips. Did the USB boot and was a breeze.
Thank you Brother, after wasting 4 days on different videos, your solution worked.
Got the error code 0xc000014c . Tried a lot of suggestions with no fix. Now I'm stuck in a blue recovery screen that says to Press enter to try again, Press 1 to enter recovery, Press 8 for start up, Press ESC for UEFI however computer does not allow any of these actions and after about 2 min. computer shuts off. The Computer is a 2 yr old HP Windows 10 . This all started when trying to upgrade to Windows 11. Computer crashed and is junk right now. Not happy HP or with Microsoft !
Everything is going quite well up to 4:40 when you have to type in the next line.
Beyond this point when i type in the full cmd line (bcdboot c: etc) i'm getting the error: "failure when attempting to copy boot files".
And the problem is also that it's kind of more confusing for me, because when i open cmd prompt it does start in a different path. (x:\sources)
And also my volumes have different letters.
i‘m also stuck there…any idea what the problem is?
@christitustech Same issue
Go back into diskpart, find the fat32 volume and assign a letter to it, say "h".
Exit diskpart, then use the command
bcdboot c:\windows /s h: /f UEFI

I love your videos you literally saved my life today :) thank you so much
loved the way you get into things and bring stuff beyond and not just a regular youtube video
have a good day
5:02 I got an error saying "failure when attempting to copy boot files" after this I exited and restart and now I have an error message when I boot up of 0xc000007 saying my PC needs repaired . Not sure anyone can help with this?
same thing happened to me
same here :((
just happened to me too
same with me
@@hyphinx Ended with reinstalling Windows. Tried everything. Spent about one whole day.
thanks this is nice info, i sometimes i need, to help friends out many many thank you chris !!!
Today I have tried to duplicate this procedure and the first problem I encountered was starting from USB boot media( Shift f10) - the cmd window, which opened and said Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd all the way up in the frame of this cmd window..
But the inside of the cmd window there was "X:\Sources" wich is not, what shows in this video. So I do not know how to bring it to X:\windows\system32
I tried by just ignoring it and so it went like X:\Sources>bootrec /fixboot and it worked!
I have no way to express my million thanks to you, man! This saved my weekend!
Thanks for the help with the boot repair. Really came in clutch.
Great video but unfortunately it didn't work for me. For some reason my EFI partition is on volume 1 and my windows partition is volume 0. Could that be affecting it?
It didn't work for me too
Hay I know it's one year late but my bf has the same issue did u get it fixed somehow maybe? I just looked at like 20 videos and were still not one step closer to getting it fixed.
@@Sickkarma did you find a solution
@@inenglish9 actually the problem my bf had was that his rtx2080 ti was broken so he got sent a new one and then it worked..
@@inenglish9 he got a temporary one that he switched to see if the graphic card is the problem and so we found out that it was. Maybe u can look for that 🌹
We found the best human being on earth according to my cousin 🙄💜🔥
After atleast 5 videos you are the only one that helped Chris. Thank you so much💯💯🤟🏾🤜🏽👊
This video, after watching close to 50, has actually helped me and solved my problem...thank you so much
The steps in this repair procedure are relatively straightforward except for the part about changing the letters on two of the volumes (3:28). It would help to explain the necessity of doing this. I have the Command Prompt open and I am attempting to make these repairs. The next step is to change the letters. It would also help those of us who have some, but not a lot, of computer technical knowledge to explain in greater detail what the labels used to describe the listed volumes mean and in which volume the BIOS files are located. On my computer, the diskpart is showing five volumes. One says Windows. One says Recovery. And one has no identifying label. On the video, the technician is only having to identify and work with two volumes. In my case, the volume containing Windows is clearly labeled. But I don't know which of the other two volumes is the correct one to re-letter. Is it the volume that says Recovery, or is it the volume that has no identifying label?
Volume 0 E DVD/ROM 0 B
Volume 1 C Windows 908 GB
Volume 2 F 836 GB
Volume 3 D Recovery 21 GB
Volume 4 Fat32 260 GB Hidden
I can't recall what the solution was, if any. I must have given up because what I ended up doing is downloading onto a thumb drive from the Microsoft website, using a different computer, a free copy of Windows. That was quick and easy to do. When I plugged the thumb drive into a USB port on the malfunctioning computer a Windows setup program appeared and it was downhill from there.
The malfunctioning HP laptop was several years old and no doubt had a lot of assorted problems, corrupted files, etc. After reinstalling Windows it runs like a new machine.
Good luck!

*need help* when I do "list vol" I only have c:/windows and SYSTEM. The last one is hidden and it is FAT32. What should I do next???

Honestly i cant thank you enough. I was customizing my PC to have the windows 7 startup sound, and when i restarted it, i got that screen; you're the only guy with the exact same problem, and you managed to get it fixed. Its 1am on a school night and i should be sleeping but i was trying to fix my pc... i will remember you till i die
Hi, how did you put the windows 7 startup sound on windows 10?
@@AMOREopal search up "how do change startup sound with winaerotweaker" for a more in depth guide on it
I do computer repair as a hobby and almost 90% of Windows 10 problems are this kind of error.
I have been trying million times to fix it with different commands, most of the ones you used here in this video and I never succeeded.
For example: when I change the volume letter and restart the computer the letter was changed back to the previous one and the error continue...
But this method you show here is slightly different in the order of the steps. So I'm going to try and see what happens.
If this works I will be grateful for life, this would save me a lot of time because I always end up reinstalling windows
When I type the command select disk 0, I get “the disk specified is not valid”. I really don’t know what to do
Same issue I’m having now looking for help and haven’t been successful yet 😢
At 2:38 when I typed "list vol" I don't see a Volume that has "System Rese" as a label. How do I fix this?
Same thing here bro
@@KIKPH4ZE did you find a fix
I thought it only reported the amount of new Windows installations. It could be indeed broken.

I downloaded and installed the 20H2 update on my windows 10 2 days ago. Before my issues started, my antivirus program promoted me to restart my PC to quarantine one folder associated with the update, I cancelled it. Later on, I shut my PC down, turned back it on to finish up, thats when my desktop started blinking, turned it off and got stuck on this error. This fixed the blinking and the boot error.

I used the installation media method on a computer with a cloned drive where the boot partition didn't get copied for whatever reason. The commands shown here are EXTREMELY valuable and straightforward. I didn't see this post until after the computer was fixed. I found another way around the problem using a Windows USB flash drive which allowed me to launch the Recovery Environment and ultimately Dell Support Assist / OS Recovery.
Did it wipe out everything on your computer in the process? Did you do a complete wipe and reinstall?
@@Bossmanrocks No, I did not do a complete wipe and reinstall. The steps I followed merely fixed the boot sector. I wouldn't be able to repeat the process again, even if it was necessary. Having the commands laid out logically in your presentation is EXTREMELY valuable.

If you have 2 or more disks installes, don't forget to check if you have an EFI partition on both. If you have that on both then you'll have problems when running the /rebuildbcd command. Just remove the disk where there is no OS and it should be fine.
I had two EFI because I bought a new SSD, an when transfering the data from one to another, I forgot to delete that EFI partition.
Meaning disconnect it from the sata having the same issue about to disconnect from sata
Whats efi?
