The problem seems to be in the BCD file, as it says that something is missing, is there any way to get into or rewrite that file?

Tis, just thought you having something visual would give you an idea of what should be happening,
I`m not sure how you even got the troubleshooting options to tell you the truth.
Hi Darrin,
What would you advise
I am confused now as well. How are you getting into File Explorer? Are you able to boot into Windows 10 and if so how?
followed the instructions in#77

I still believe the issues are related to the Raid configuration. I would recommend performing the following steps. Then you should be able to install Windows 10 on the one drive. Once it is up and running connect the other drive and we can help you get it working.
Boot with the Windows 10 USB
2. During the install select the Repair option to bring up the command prompt console
3. In the command prompt type each of the following commands followed by pressing enter key
diskpart
list disk 0 (verify it is the correct disk #)
clean
convert gpt
create partition primary
format quick fs=ntfs
assign
exit
4. This should allow you to then select the unallocated partition to install Windows onto
followed the instructions in#77

Did you reinstall Windows 10?
Hi Darrin,
I appreciate, your help, Im am being guided by Phill and you as Im way out of my depth on this.
With the screens I have up I only need to close a couple to get back to the cmmd prompt screen, then I can enter the commands you suggest, will that do?
It took Phill and I a while to get to the prompt screen and Im really reluctant to come all of the way out and reboot.
jim
I understand and we are trying our best to help. It looks like you have installed Windows 10 now but none of your hard drives are showing up under file explorer, etc. Do you have a full Windows 10 desktop with Start menu etc?
Okay, I understand what is going on now. You are just using Notepad to open file explorer. So yes, please get to a command prompt and follow my commands.

Darrin,
Our posts seem to be crossing, undoubtedly my fault, apologies,
How I got here is in#57
"UPDATE:
Disk did not seem to be having any effect, so after a number of reboots i decided to chance the new USB drive, again after a number of reboots and unexpectedly its at the w10 setup screen, do we want to proceed? "
