Hey 

 

I have a Dell Latitude E6230 Running Win8 Pro 64Bit

 

When I boot up I get Invalid partition table and it freezes

The first time I could not do anything. Ran it up with installation usb auto repair did not work. Managed to go to restore point.

The first restore point did not work it was made when installed windows update.

This time I was able to go into F12-> UEFI BOOT -> Windows boot manager 

The second restore point (older one) did work and was told successful. 

When I booted got the same message about the table. Went into the boot sequence ->  Windows boot manager the windows boots all the way up and can log in.

When I shut down or restart I get the same message again.

 

After searching I understand that I should try and fix the MBR

Went into recovery on windows boot usb -> command prompt  enters the following

bootrec /FixMbr
bootrec /FixBoot
bootrec /ScanOs

 

  -> after theese I get success
bootrec /RebuildBcd

after this I get

The required system device cannot be found

Picture

 

 

Doe's anyone have another idea ?

 

Thanks

Hey FreeBooter

 

I ran chkdsk and there was an error at the end log event 50

screen shot

 

 

The bcdedit fails also 

"The requested system device cannot be found"

 

 

[vally]

This line fails

 

bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup

 

and this is what I get-

 

The store export operation has faild

The requested system device cannot be found

 

 

[vally]

I ran it in C:

I got the same reject message

 

The store export operation has faild

The requested system device cannot be found

[vally]

here are the results

First of all I want to say thanks to FreeBooter for the help

 

Here is the printout after the commands

[vally]

I typed what you posted but there was a problem.

I think we didn't choose the correct partition - or I may be wront for not totally understanding all the stages

Here is the screen printout

[vally]

Tried 3 and got

"The selected disk is not a fixed MBR disk" 

[vally]

Did not make any change

did

 

 

Bootrec /Fixmbr

and went over the stages and got the same results

[vally]

Here os what I got

[vally]

The command executed fine

but when I reboot I still get invalid partition table

[vally]

I'll try this on Sunday morning

If not I'll reinstall via dell boot recovery. There is an automatic backup to another partition and all the data is backed up.

I need to return the computer... 

 

I'll keep you up to date...

Hi FreeBooter and followers

 

Problem solved

I reset the bios nothing changed still stopped at the boot.

Next stage was that when I hit f12 I did not get the recovery options that let me go into the windows. I wanted to release the licence for Babylon before I format or re install.

I went into the UEFI boot and it went straight in to windows.

I changed the settings in the bios to UEFI mode.

Now the computer boots straight into the windows login screen. 

 

Thanks
