Hello everyone,

Recently, 2 of my drives (one SSD and one HDD) with both Windows 10 installed have become unreachable, displaying the following error code on the screen:

"Recovery

Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

The boot Configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains errors.

File: \Boot\BCD
Error code: 0cx000014c

You'll need to use recovery tools. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your PC administrator or PC/Device manufacturer."

Knowing that at the last successful boot of one of my two drives (the SSD) I received a message like "operating system not found - Reboot and select proper boot device "

However, I could still boot by entering the BIOS and selecting the drive to boot from..

Based on these error messages, I assume I need to enter commands to repair the Windows boot, but I don't have a command prompt window to do that..

If you could advise me on how to handle this failure, I would be very grateful!

Thank you in advance for your replies!

Hello,

From a working computer: Use Media Creation on a valid computer to create a bootable USB drive: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO
  • Boot from it by modifying the boot sequence and selecting the USB drive or DVD: How to boot the computer from a USB drive
  • You will arrive at the Windows installation program.
  • Go to Repair your computer (menu at the bottom left on the main page)
  • Advanced troubleshooting options
  • Command prompt
  • type diskpart and hit enter

Provide the results of the following commands:

list disk
sel disk 0
list partition
list volume
exit


Take a picture of the result and provide the screenshot.

and provide the result of the command:
bcdedit /v


Take a picture of the result and provide the screenshot.

Please press any key to continue the disinfection...

Thank you very much, in the end I inserted the Windows 10 installation disk, then used the system restart tool, and my two disks are working correctly again. If this problem reappears long-term, I will try your solution then. Issue resolved :)
