How to Fix BCDboot Failure When Attempting to Copy Boot Files?
Geeks - The BCDboot tool is used to copy boot files to the system partition and to create a new boot entry in the boot configuration data (BCD) store. If you are experiencing a BCDboot failure when attempting to copy boot files, there are a few potential solutions you can try:
Check the system partition to ensure that it is set as active. You can do this by using the Diskpart utility. Open a command prompt as an administrator, type diskpart, and then press Enter. In the Diskpart utility, type list disk to view a list of available disks, and then type select disk X (where X is the number of the disk that contains the system partition). Finally, type list partition to view a list of partitions on the selected disk, and then type select partition X (where X is the number of the system partition) and active to set the partition as active.
Use the BCDboot tool to recreate the BCD store. To do this, open a command prompt as an administrator, and then type the following commands:
Copy code
bcdboot C:\Windows /s S: /f ALL
Where C: is the drive where Windows is installed, and S: is the system partition. This will recreate the BCD store and copy the necessary boot files to the system partition.
If the above steps do not fix the problem, you may need to use the bootrec.exe tool to repair the boot files on your system. To do this, open a command prompt as an administrator and type the following commands:
Copy code
bootrec.exe /fixboot
bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootrec.exe /scanos
bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
The first command (fixboot) writes a new boot sector to the system partition. The second command (fixmbr) writes a new master boot record to the system partition. The third command (scanos) scans your system for installed operating systems and adds them to the BCD store. The fourth command (rebuildbcd) scans your system for installed operating systems and allows you to select which ones to add to the B
