Hello,
I'm having nightmares with Windows 10 on an HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF.
A few days ago, Windows 10 crashed and would not reboot. I've since tried a dozen processes to try to recover the boot, e.g.:
Besides the non allocated space (1.8TB) there are still the 350 MB system partition and 2 partitions OEM at the end of the disk.
What should be done to be able to reinstall Windows 10? Already when I upgraded Windows 7, the computer would not reboot and I lost 2 or 3 days to manage to make it boot again... Seems the story is repeating again! I'm beginning to think that Windows 10 cost me much more time than a potential virus in Windows 7...
Regards,
Gauthier

I'm having nightmares with Windows 10 on an HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF.
A few days ago, Windows 10 crashed and would not reboot. I've since tried a dozen processes to try to recover the boot, e.g.:
- hardware checks: Memtest86, HDD validation
- attempt to repair from USB rescue media: error code 0xc000000f
- with rescue disk, attempt to restore system to 15/01/2021: error 0x8007025d
- BOOTREC /FIXBOOT access denied
- BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD no installation found
- SFC: no issue found
- bootrec /rebuildbcd ok, but afterwards still no installation found with bootrec /scanos
- reinstall without deleting files: error
- reinstall full: error because disk/partition is detected as MBR and requirement is GPT (how come Windows 10 was well installed before???)
- from setup, remove partition from setup and attempt to recreate it: error 0xd0f82e20
Besides the non allocated space (1.8TB) there are still the 350 MB system partition and 2 partitions OEM at the end of the disk.
