I checked the drive with the program you said and all reports as good.
Its a brand new hard drive. I probably didn't explain to well. The old hard drive first started to do this and was starting to report as faulty with many corrupt sectors and couldn't be fixed so when it wouldn't boot I thought it was the drive so I got this brand new one which also doesn't boot.
Thanks

Bootrec /fixmbr and /fixboot worked but bootrec /rebuildbcd did not and I could not get it to work.
One question I do this with the start up disk at boot?
Diskpart
List disk
Select disk X
List volume
Thanks FreeBooter

Gday.
Use this guide to use the CMD from the windows startup disk.

Please perform these instructions first and post a Screenshot.
Diskpart
List disk
Select disk X
List volume
Replace X letter with your hard disk assigned disk number.
It will be fantastic if you can post screenshot of these commands.

C: - ok
cd boot - ok
attrib bcd -s -h -r -ok

I just wondered if installing linux then back to windows would make the boot sector new again and fix the issue?
I don't no much about this area of computers
Thank you Freebooter

I wonder why my old hdd failed to boot so I put this one in a brand new one and installed windows and it then began to not boot.
It should have made the boot sector new again like you say. I have once tried a reinstall just putting win 10 back on but it was only stable for 2 days. maybe some hardware is failing then. Burnin test shows all as OK and mem test86 shows all as ok. I hope now it will boot OK and stay ok haha.
Thank you ever so much for your help FreeBooter you have taught me a lot
