Well, thanks for the reply. The Boot msgs are as follows:
boots to RECOVERY SCREEN>ERROR CODE: 0xc0000001; pretty generic>Try SAFEMODE:CMD PROMPT
RESPONSE: "Inaccessible Boot Device"; pretty generic.
my c:\is system and bootable. All my files and folders are intact, incl c:\windows.I'm running 32 bit .
There is a history here. This is an original computer I built from my past life as system builder for about 25 yrs.
xp>7ult>10 pro; only last november. Transition from 7 to 10-1903.18362.239 very smooth. I was actually amazed.
Usually not the case. Then I wanted to update to 22H2; INPLACE UPGRADE from windows. It would not complete.
So,I started to uninstall antivirus prog, etc to "help"it along.I know to stay away from winsxs. Then win10 started to not boot
properly, until it broke completely. I knew it wasn't hardware, disk partitions, etc. So, i rebuilt the bcd. That didn't fix it. Then I went to DISM, OFFLINE,
TO FIX IT with RestoreHealth. Then it developed a source error problem, which I finally fixed last week or so. and of course I ran SFC /SCANNOW OFFLINE
Anyway, I wish I could run SFCFIX from PE, but I guess not. Any suggestions?There is no CBS LOG since I'm working offline.
