Hi
I'm trying a dual boot between Windows 10 2004 and ArcaOS 5.0.5. ArcaOS has a boot manager tool called Air-Boot (open source) that works fine, and it can boot Windows 10, since I already tested.
My issue is that ArcaOS does something to the Windows 10 partition, that does not allows for Windows 10 to boot back. It just stays in a black screen when the Windows 10 partition is selected to boot. As far as I can see, it does not break the Win10 NTGS partition, but maybe it breaks the MBR or maybe something with the geometry of the disk.
The machine I'm using is a non-UEFI BIOS laptop. No GUID on the HDD, just MBR.
Just in case here it is the partition layout.

It may be harmless, but when it seems to cause problems,
you can probably fix it by opening the partition and use
the FIXPBR command or the corresponding menu item being:
Mode=xxx -> Boot area fixes -> Fix HiddenSectors/Geo value

Air-Boot and ArcaOS are booting fine, so I now I want to try to restore the Windows 10 partition to boot again.
I tried the following:
1) Win10 USB Boot - Repair your computer -- Troubleshoot - Startup Repair. It failed and said "Starup Repair couldn't repair you PC".
2) Win10 USB Boot - Repair your computer -- Troubleshoot - Command line. (Tried this)
- run chckdsk c: /f - just in case
- bootrec /FixMbr
- bootrec /FixBoot
-- Access is Denied
- bootrec /ScanOs
-- Scanning...
-- Please wait...
-- Successfully...
-- Total Identified Windows Installations: 1
-- [1] C:\Windows
-- The operation completed successfully.
- bootrec /RebuildBcd

-- Please wait...
-- Successfully...
-- Total Identified Windows Installations: 1
-- [1] C:\Windows
-- Add installation to boot list? Yes (Y)/No(N)/All(A)
Pressed Y
-- The operation completed successfully.
After all that, no Windows 10 boot. (Black screen).
I also tried the ""bootsect /nt60 sys"" on Win10 but I also get an "Access is denied" error.
After more reading I tried.
-- bootsect /nt60 sys /force
got : Bootcode was successfully updated...
-- bootrec /FixBoot
-- Access is denied.
Rebooted just in case.... Now I get.
"An Operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drives....

This is a test machine, so there is nothing critical there, and I can experiment.
My goal is to try to recover the Windows 10 partition booting process. Reinstalling Windows 10 is a no go for this experiment for a Win10/ArcaOS Dual Boot.
