Dual Boot Problem

Question

Hello to the community!

I am facing a problem with my (metro) Bootloader...

I am using a Dual boot system. One is at Disk E: and one is at Disc C:

It was working normally...

I think that after Windows 11 at disk E: made an update (but not sure this was the reason) the bootloading options changed to these ones at the following picture:

This means I now get two WIndows Boot Manager options on volume 6 !

When I press those it does not find any boot system there !

Windows 11 on volume 8 (default) - Disk C: it works normally and it boots...

Following are also pictures of Msconfig Boot Menu and EasyBdc:

In case I change default windows to my Windows at Disk E: then the bootloader changes accordingly and I can boot in those windows....

Is there any way guys to go back to my normal bootloading options?

Windows 11 at Disk C and Windows 11 at Disk E only as options ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated !

Hello

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Here are some steps you can try to restore:

1. Manually Repair BCD

1. Boot into a working Windows system.
2. Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
3. Run the following commands to rebuild the BCD: bcdedit /enum

• Review the current boot configuration and confirm any unnecessary entries.

• Note down the {identifier} of valid and invalid boot entries.

2. Delete invalid boot entries:

bcdedit /delete {Invalid Entry ID}

3. Rebuild the boot records (optional):

bootrec /rebuildbcd

4. Use Advanced Startup Options

1. Open Settings > System > Recovery.
2. Under Advanced startup, click Restart now.
3. Navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Command Prompt.
4. Use the Command Prompt to run the BCD repair commands as mentioned above.

I hope the information above is helpful.
