Everytime I try to boot into Windows, I instead get booted into the BIOS utility. I have tried to do automatic startup repair but with no results. I have an installation media USB. Going into diskpart from the command prompt from the installation USB shows 2 disks, disk 0 (the internal HDD) and disk 1 (the installation media). Disk 0 shows 4 partitions:
If I try to run chkdsk :c, command prompt returns with:
"The type of the file system is RAW.
CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives."
chkdsk /f yields:
"The type of the file system is NTFS
Cannot lock current drive.
Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume because it is write protected."
bootrec /fixmbr yields:
"A device which does not exist was specified"
bootrec /fixboot yields:
"A device which does not exist was specified"
bootrec /scanos yields:
"Please wait, since this may take a while...
Successfully scanned Windows installatons.
Total identified Windows installations: 0
The operation completed successfully."
bootrec /rebuildbcd yields:
"Please wait, since this may take a while...
Successfully scanned Windows installatons.
Total identified Windows installations: 0
The operation completed successfully."
Please note that all of the above commands were executed in the command prompt on the installation media USB.
If I don't have the USB installation media plugged in, I get booted into the winRE. I have tried every single option to no avail. I am looking to get my computer running without having to reset or refresh my PC. I just want to fix my PC and keep all my files. Oh and also trying to get into the C: drive by opening Notepad > Open does not work. It seems like the installation media can't see the Windows installation on my internal HDD at all.
