How To Repair Master Boot Record In Windows 7/8/10 - Without CD
Error: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
IMPORTANT: If bootrec/fixboot comes back with "Access Denied", try typing in bootsect/nt60 sys then type the bootrec /fixboot
This tutorial will show you how to fix, reset and repair the master boot record in Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. If you have boot errors and are having issues booting into Windows, there is a good chance the problem is stemming from the MBR. As I state in the video, as long as you can make it into Safe Mode with Command Prompt functionality, you can follow along with this tutorial.
You might receive the following error alert:
Windows Boot Manager
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause.
Status: 0xc000000e
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems.Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

The 3rd input for exporting c:\bcdbackup gives error. “The store export operation has failed. The requested system device cannot be found.
The fact is this method worked for windows 7 too using cmd ,almost for 5 hrs iam struggling to open my pc this video helped me a lot . Likes and subscribers should be in millions for this channel

Te store export operation has failed. The requested system device cannot be identified due to multiple indistinguishable devices potentially matching the identification criteria. Please help. I have tried all the methods i found online. None of them worked... :(
This won't work if it is a GPT disk instead of MBR. Could be why some are having problems.

Trying to restore failed HDD from backup image created in driveimage xml. I've used this exact backup and version of driveimage xml previously and had success. This time I cannot get the restored disk to boot. In cmd running from my win 7 recover disk (which I used the last time this happened) running bootrec /fixmbr "operation completed successfully". Running bootrec /fixboot and I get "element not found". Running bootrec /rebuildbcd I get the option to press y for my windows installation found but I get "element not found". I'm baffled here. Any ideas? Other than the physical HDD nothing is different between this time and the last time I had to replace the HDD with the exception of why. Last time was to upgrade to a larger disk. This time I am replacing due to failed controller board.

Bootrec /fixboot Says the volume does not contain recognised file system
My main hard drive died, I disconnected it and connected a different one as the main drive, I did a clean, format, and clean install of windows 7 on my drive. I partitioned it into three partitions since this drive is a terrabyte large. Then I tried to update with windows 10, and it gave me an error saying my windows/system32/ntoskrnl.exe is either missing or corrupt and would not let me exit with the options of f8 or to try again...I know it probably has something to do with the master boot, but it does boot up fine to windows and I checked the bios since I did that first before installing the windows 7 OS, and that looks fine in the bios so it is not that...some suggested it was the keyboard, but I tried that, still wouldn't boot up Windows 10, still gave me the same error. Would doing this in the boot fix that or do I need to do something else to get it to boot up the windows installation disk?
Is this really not using cd ? Or usb ? And at doing attrib , its state path not found
