Windows 10 not booting after trying to move bootmanages

KawaiiNacho

So I have a 1TB HDD and a 500GB SSD. Originally windows was on my HDD but I bought my SSD some time ago and moved windows over. Now for somw reason the bootmanager stayed on my HDD and it was quite annoying for some stuff I cant recall anymore so I tried moving it to my SSD using EasyBCD. I dont think it went really well...

 

Now when I boot via Windows Boot Managed I get the error code 0x0000098 and when I boot via either my HDD or SSD I get taken to a windows screen to either install or repair. I tried automatic repair/startup repair, sfc /scannow, bootrec /fixboot, /fixmbr and some diskpart thing telling me to go to some directory but my pc couldnt find it so no luck there either.

 

OS is Windows 10 home x64

 

Specs dont really matter I think. I did noticed that right after I moved, or tried to move my boot managed the computer didnt want to shut down. It just restarted. So I cut the power and forced it to shutdown.

What do you mean you moved Windows over?

Did you copy and paste, or cloned your drive?

It's not a race to the bottom.

Did a new install and deleted the old one.

The first thing you want to do when installing Win10 on a new drive such as an SSD is to disconnect the old HDD completely.  No power, no sata to the old drive.  Then do a fresh install of Windows..

Alright so this is the lengthy and frustrating process I did to get back into windows.

 

Bootrec /fixboot? Nah acces denied.

Bootrec /Rebuildbcd? Location not found

Literally anything else on the internet? Didnt work.

 

So I decided, lets try reinstall windows, which was a nightmare by itself because some dynamic disk wasn't doing something it should do. Made a small 10GB partition, install easyBCD, Make a bootloader for my F drive (which was the drive my windows was on). Fix bootloaders to be sure. Set priority for the new bootloader I made. Delete the 10Gb partition after some testing and its working now, more or less. Not the most orthodox methot but if its stupid and it works, its not stupid.

Dang, you sure like doing things the hard way, don't you.  Completely disconnect the old drive as mentioned above.  Make sure the SSD is completely hooked up.  Use the Windows Media Creation tool.  Follow the on-screen instructions.  When complete, enter bios and make sure the current, new SSD is the boot drive.  All done.  Easy peazy.
