This is on Windows 10. My laptop won’t boot and I’ve tried auto repair with no success.
Nov 14, 2018 Running 'bootrec /rebuildbcd' = 'total windows installations: 0' When I. Solved Successfully scanned windows installations Total identified. Solved Windows 7 Recovery - 0 Windows.
Now I’m trying to repair my boot configuration following information from the internet and I’m running into a problem. So far I’ve been using the following commands with some success. At a Command prompt. Bootrec /rebuildbcd 2. Bcdedit /export c: bcdbackup 3.
Attribute c: boot bcd -h -r -s 4. Ren c: boot bcd bcd.old all of these commands return successful.
Bootrec /rebuildbcd Here’s where I run into the problem. It never finds a Windows installation and always returns 0. My configuration looks something like this.
Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info Volume 0. Partition 1000MB Healthy Volume 1. C Windows8OS NTFS Partition 916GB. Healthy Volume 2 RAW.

Healthy Volume 3 3. Hidden Volume 4.
Healthy Volume 5. Hidden I’ve figured out Volume 1 is obviously my Windows Partition. Volume 4 is my USB Windows recovery drive I’m using. And I believe Volume 3 is my boot volume. Volume 2 or 5 must be the OEM recovery partitions which should actually be Windows 8 which is what originally came on this laptop.
I’ve since upgraded to Windows 10 so they would technically be useless. I do know that my boot Volume is listed as hidden but I don’t think that makes any difference as I think it’s supposed to be that way. My original question is, what can I do about bootrec /rebuildbcd always returning 0 Windows installations found?
I have looked at the Windows folder on the C: drive and everything appears to be there and in order as far as I can tell but I’m far from an expert. Ive also tried tried to access my backup registry stored in the registry backup folder but they all had a zero file size so that was a bust. Thankfully, the actual registry files have actual file sizes so they look to be okay as far as i can tell. Thanks in advance.
