I've seen illustrations on how to do this with instructions such as: attrib -h -s C:\boot\BCDīcdedit.exe /store c:\boot\bcd.temp /create device partition=C: The idea I have is to manually recreate the Boot Registry hive. That gives the message: "There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete". Tried to do a System Restore, but system restore said there were no restore points. The last line results in the message: "Failure when attempting to copy boot files" Select volume 4 (This is our FAT32 partition)īcdboot c:\windows\system32 /s b: /l en-us /f ALL The bootrec /rebuildbcd line gives: "Total identified Windows installations: 0"

Tried the standard boot recovery procedures (in various orders as written elsewhere) Error Code = 0x2Ĭhkdsk c: /r - Which repaired a few file references but found no bad sectors From the Recovery Environment, we can go into a Command Prompt with what seems to be full administrator rights, from where we have attempted fixes.Ĭhecked the Automatic Repair log file which says:īoot configuration data store repair. With Windows 8, there is a Windows Recovery Environment, which is a partition on the drive with tools to help you recover without needing to boot off a startup DVD. A lot of other people have had these problems as the key error phrases show up in numerous forums, but we realized many of these solutions applied to Windows 7 or earlier and many refer to the older boot system rather than the newer UEFI boot system used on our system. We have done much research and have made many attempts to fix this, but have not yet found the way to fix it.



Two days ago, it got into an Automatic Repair Loop. We have a Windows 8.1 installation on an HP 23-g009 AMD Quad core all-in-one computer.
