I did run CCLEANER registry portion after the screen was already blue with original errors.

Okay, unfortunately the use of Registry cleaners can cause multiple issues. They are designed for Advanced users and even then can cause problems. Please refrain from using in the future and consider using a Image backup routine if your files and programs are that important. I can provide more information when we are finished trying to repair.

Ok, from inside recovery. I'm in advanced options then command prompt which reads x:\sources . How do I get to what you are asking?

[dmccoy]

at X:\Sources type D: or whatever drive letter and press enter, at the D:\>prompt type DIR and press Enter, if Windows is one of the Directories, then you are in the right place.

Windows is in E: ... How do I go to start menu?

[dmccoy]

Okay. Sorry about posting the Start menu steps. You are already in command window so copy and paste the command next to E:\

 

Type e: hit enter

Then copy and paste the following and hit Enter.

bcdedit > 0 & notepad 0 (these are zeros since you are not able to copy and paste)

 

copy and paste the results to your reply

Step 2:

Open Command Prompt from Advanced Startup Options or System Recovery Options menu.

 

At the prompt, type the bootrec command as shown below and then press Enter:

bootrec /rebuildbcd

 

The bootrec command will search for Windows installations not included in the Boot Configuration Data and then ask you if you'd like to add one or more to it.

 

Option 1:

Scanning all disks for Windows installations.

Please wait, since this may take a while...

Successfully scanned Windows installations.

Total identified Windows installations: 0

The operation completed successfully.

 

Option 2:

Scanning all disks for Windows installations.

Please wait, since this may take a while...

Successfully scanned Windows installations.

Total identified Windows installations: 1

[1] D:\Windows

Add installation to boot list? Yes/No/All:

If you see:

 

Option 1: Move on to Step 5. This result most likely means that Windows installation data in the BCD store exists but bootrec couldn't find any additional installations of Windows on your computer to add to the BCD. That's fine, you'll just need to take a few extra steps to rebuild the BCD.

 

Option 2: Enter Y or Yes to the Add installation to boot list? question, after which you should see a The operation completed successfully message, followed by a blinking cursor at the prompt. Finish up with Step 10 toward the bottom of the page.

 

Since the BCD store exists and lists a Windows installation, you'll first have to "remove" it manually and then try to rebuild it again.

 

At the prompt, execute the bcdedit command as shown and then press Enter:

bcdedit /export c:\bcdbackup

 

At the prompt, execute the attrib command exactly like this:

attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s

 

To rename the BCD store, execute the ren command as shown:

ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old

 

Now that the BCD store is renamed, you should now be able to successfully rebuild it, as you tried to do in Step 3.

 

Try rebuilding the BCD again by executing the following, followed by Enter:

bootrec /rebuildbcd

 

It should produce this in the Command Prompt window:

Scanning all disks for Windows installations.

Please wait, since this may take a while...

Successfully scanned Windows installations.

Total identified Windows installations: 1

[1] D:\Windows

 

Add installation to boot list? Yes/No/All:

 

What this means is that the BCD store rebuild is progressing as expected.

 

At the Add installation to boot list? question, type Y or Yes, followed by the Enter key.

 

You should see this on screen to show that the BCD rebuild is complete:

The operation completed successfully.

Restart your computer.

One more thing. That error can be caused if you are using USB 3.0 port and not USB 2.0 in the WinRE. Make sure your Win 10 USB is plugged into a USB 2.0 port.

[MJP4628]

I took pictures of screen with my phone. How do I upload screenshot for you to view?

[MJP4628]

How do I check the USB size?

[dmccoy]

If you click on the More Reply Options then it will offer an option to upload files or you can share through a file sharing site such as Dropbox, google drive, OneNote, etc

USB 3.0 ports will be colored blue wher as the USB 2.0 are just grey.
