Windows – Fix Boot Issues

email me

Common boot issues can be fixed by doing the following:

Method 1

Using a Windows boot disc, go to Startup Repair (do this 3-4 times, if necessary).

 

Method 2

If that doesn’t work try the Repair Option and this time choose Command Prompt, type:

BOOTREC /FIXMBR {enter} 
BOOTREC /FIXBOOT{enter}
BOOTREC /SCANOS {enter}
BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD {enter}

 

Method 3

If it’s not successful or you receive No operating system found or Element not found messages, use diskpart and enter these commands:

DISKPART {enter}
LIST DISK {enter}
SELECT DISK N {enter}
LIST PARTITION {enter}
SELECT PARTITION N {enter}
ACTIVE {enter}
EXIT {enter}
Startup repair  – Reboot

If there are still issues, try one more Startup repair and reboot.
