[@originalhotrodder4337]

Great post EasyTechs, thank you! Unfortunately I got stuck at the "bootrec /fixboot" part (3:55) with the Access is denied error. Instead of downloading the 1703 load and trying again (I didn't want to wait for the download again) I found the fix that worked for me was using your info up to 3:55 and then adding the info in Tlou Manamela's reply (one of the 143 replies to M. Asyrof Muzakki's reply that's currently located in the reply thread at 1 year ago below. What Tlou Manemela wrote was: type> bootsect /nt60 sys then type> bootrec /fixboot . That fixed my non booting Windows 10 that I broke when removing the dual boot Linux Mint sector. I wanted to share what worked for me since I just happened to fall on the reply from a year ago. Hope it helps someone else.

I think I may have found a fix for those of us who were able to get fix #1 to work up to the very last step but when we typed bcdboot c:\windows /l en-us /s V: /f all, we got the error messaging saying “failure copying boot files”. So much earlier in this video when we tell us to types list vol to list the volumes and then he says to select the volume labeled System Rese as shown in this video as volume 1 with letter C. He then explains how to rename the volume to V and then we continue with the rest of the steps. Well after fix 1 failed on the very last step I recalled that I didn’t have a volume labeled System Rese. The only volume I have are Volume 0 Letter D which is labeled Recovery, Volume 1 Letter C labeled Windows, and Volume 2 (no letter assigned) labeled SYSTEM. The first time I tried fix 1, I chose volume 1 letter C and renamed it to V as he instructed. But I got to thinking that maybe it’s Volume 0 Letter D labeled Recovery that is actually the correct volume that is comparable to Volume 1 C System Rese in his video. So first I went back into DiskPart and renamed volume 1 from V back to C how it was originally. Then I listed the volumes again and started where he says to select volume, but instead of selecting volume 1, I selected volume 0. I then renamed volume 0 from D to V. Your Recovery Volume May be labeled something other than D, but whatever it is, rename it to V. So then after renaming my Recovery volume from D to V, I exited DiskPart. Before I continued with his instructions, I entered the command bootsect/nt60 sys and hit enter. Then I entered bootrec /fixmbr and after that was successful I entered bootrec /fixboot. After that was successful this time due to first entering bootsect/nt60 sys first. After fixboot was successful I tried the final step entering bcdboot c:\windows /l en-us /s V: /f all and my god it worked. I got a message saying Boot filed successfully created. I then typed Exit and went back to the windows recovery page and chose advance options and re-entered command prompt. I was able to successfully rebuildbcd and fixmbr, but right before you enter fixboot, you need to enter the command bootsect/nt60 sys. After you enter that command then you can enter the bootrec /fixboot command. Mine was successful. Now this is what fixed the fixboot issue and the issue with the final step bcdboot c:\windows /l en-us /s V: /f all

[@mazsportopper9876]

VIDEO PLEASE :)

[@datderpderping501]

Eric Reyes what if you don’t have the recovery option? My volume 1 is windows and my volume 3 is system. 0 and 2 have no label

[@yifanhua9474]

Saviour!

[@jeremystyers]

3:56 ACCESS DENIED! For anyone here just follow the first part of the video but skip ALL the /fixboot commands. Just do: the diskpart then list vol then select the volume with only around 489 MB then ensure it has the efi\microsoft\boot folders (mine already did) then do the bcdboot c:\windows /l en-us /s v: /f all Then just exit and reboot. Skip everything else in the video Mine was fixed and working by following the above. Though mine wasn't c: that had my windows on it. Mine was e: So in the last command I had to use e:\windows not c:\windows. Just make sure you use the letter assigned to the volume containing all your files. If you don't know which that is, go with the largest one listed.

[@caseyhill967]

Thank You SO much!

[@beingamo4]

Hi, what if it says “failure when attempting to copy boot files” when doing bcdboot

I initially skipped your fix to the issue because it seems to simple, and instead I tried all of other methods, including the 1703 build as well as suggestions mentioned by other viewers ..and nope.

Do not run the "bootsect" command (e.g. "bootsect /nt60 sys"). You don't need "bootrec /fixboot" or "bootrec /rebuildbcd" command if you use the BCDBOOT command. The BCDBOOT command works on both GPT and MBR disks (Windows 10 and Windows 11).

Hey there, glad to hear this tutorial helps. I have a question about the download. Did you just unzip the parent folder and copied into your flash drive or the child folder of Windows? Or which files are required to make it work? Thanks.

[@Mr.Finkel]

yes it's confusing how build 1703 is downloaded from Google Drive. took me some time to figure it out.. here is what you need to do 1. after you go to EasyTechs' link click through to the the x64 or x86 folder depending if you want a 64 bit or 32 bit windows 10 2. click the download all icon 3. 2 files are downloaded. 1 zip file and an install.esd file 4. unzip the 1 file and place the contents on the usb 5. then put the install.esd file into the Sources folder on the usb 6. should be now ready to boot from usb

[@ranaji99]

First step 1. If u r able to go to command prompt, just type notepad.exe and entre, this will open notepad, click on file and open, then you'll have access to drive, attach a external drive, refresh by clicking any folder inside and back to pc, it will show ur external drive list with all other drive. Now open all neded folders right click copy and open external drive paste it there. Like this first backup ur internal drive, incase during writing command you may loose data, running a wrong command. 2. If not able to access boot into pc, error going in a cycle, make recovery media and f12 to access command prompt. 3.if accident no disk volume is shown, may be drive is wiped off, so use bootable AOMEI partion assistant using usb, check how to make in KZbin, now boot from this usb, you'll have access to hdd drive, if it shows to partion, just right click and recover, here do fast search, select the drive and click ok, then all partitions will be back. Now right click on you drive and click on rebuild mbr, you should be able to boot now.

PSA: I had several problems following these instructions so I wanted to offer my advice for everyone else before they waste hours of their time or wipe their computers. TRY METHOD 2 FIRST, method 1 did not work for me, I still got access denied. If you can't set your active partition or don't know what to do with the ESD files, read on. When you format your flash drive and try to make it an Active Partition, the option might be greyed out. Use diskpart to do this instead. Open diskpart, select that disk, and type "active" and hit enter. This does the same thing So when you're downloading the Windows 10 1703 files it will download a zip file, along with 2 .esd files. Unzip the zip file and rename the .esd's to "install.esd". Put the formerly named "install-003.esd" in /x64/sources and put the formerly "install-002.esd" in /x86/sources. Now follow the instructions in the video. Hope someone finds these tips useful.

[@PradeepPanchariya1]

If you had some data in C Drive and want to reinstall window again without losing data for that you can boot Linux on USB drive and run it live and there you can access all of your data and you can copy your data in external hard disk or other drive

[@stmarks9941]

How about showing us a step by step guide for this option? Or maybe recommend a link?

[@MisterGus74]

First, thank you EasyTech for this helpful video ! I would add that bootrec commands are meant to be used with MBR partitions, not GPT. This is also why you could get the "Access denied" error when using /fixboot. For GPT partitions, you should have a look at bcdboot commands as shown in the video !

I was getting the "access is denied" message and Fix #1 did not work.

It was at your suggestion in Fix #2 that I looked backwards to obtain a viable fix. Thanks you for that!

@@irvankim1971 I was lucky having in my usb stick a version of windows. So after to reestarting my pc, I was pressing repeatedly and seamlessly the F8 key and again I closed from the button and restarted it, till allow me to enter into the reboot system. I dunno if you could entering a usb stick download the windows on your usb stick from the disk of your pc wherein windows are set. In my opinion, you have to make a total format to all in your pc, the software I mean, because trying to play with cmd commander fixing programming languages as you wish, it might change functions, variables and utilities of your pc which are prerequisited for your's computer software to work on well.

The weird thing is that Diskpart does not list any GPT disks 1:47 (no star in the GPT column). And EFI requires GPT. Which means this was probably running in CSM mode instead of EFI. Confusing...

[@delicrux]

First let me say thank you. I vaguely remembered you had to mount and setup the device before running the command but all the google answer skipped that part so i ended up bricking my computer. Your tutorial helped me repair the mbr perfectly. Also thank you for spelling the commands when looking at the letter L i could not tell if it was a i or something else. Just subbed your channel for this flawless explanation.

thanks for this, but I'm still having issues. I've been messing with this off and on for weeks now and it is driving me crazy. After imaging a completely updated/sysprepped workstation I get a NTFS FILE SYSTEM error that won't boot. I found the steps to fix this, but then ran into error with the /fixboot access denied. Im going to admit I have no idea what the command you suggested does, but I'm desperate and ran it. after running I am still getting the fixboot access denied error, and i'm probably doing something wrong. Currently having to install Win 10 image of 1803, then run updates to 1903/1907 which takes hours per machine. I have got to get this fixed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If anyone else has this issue with imaging Windows 10 and have come up with a solution I would appreciate it greatly. In case of interest, the machines that I am trying to image are Lenovo m600s.
