The Startup Repair worked from the DVD\ISO but F8 was not necessary when booting to the installation DVD. I hope all of this helps someone else out there.

For those that Repair didn’t work, odds are Windows can’t find the MBR.
#PANDORA RECOVERY HAS ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WINDOWS 10#
In layman’s terms, if you have a “normal” computer that’s not so complicated as mine, get a computer that works, create yourself a Windows 10 DVD, or borrow one from a friend, and try the Repair.

Once that was done, the repair utility does work.
#PANDORA RECOVERY HAS ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM UPDATE#
When I originally ran the “Start Up Scan” it failed, but I think it failed because of BIOS update I did and I had reset my BIOS so the repair utility could find the MBR. I think what happened was when I originally built my box, the MBR was installed not on my primary HDD but one of the other 4 I have installed. I used the “Repair Windows” option and had it do a “Start up Scan” or whatever they call it and viola! It repaired the master boot record “MBR” and I am back up and running. Once I solved that, I used the Windows 10 DVD and booted to it. I had this problem when I first built the box where the BIOS stopped recognizing my HDD and kept jumping back in to the BIOS setup and not even reading the drives. I have an advanced board that support UEFI devices or legacy. My particular situation was made more difficult due to my motherboard. I downloaded it and created a 64-bit Windows 10 bootable DVD using the MS utility that is built-in to the creation tool.

On my laptop that was still working, I searched for the “Windows 10 Media Creation Tool” which brought me to the MS website to download their tool. PROBLEM SOLVED!!! Ok, so it’s a bit complicated but here is what worked: I no longer use EasyBCD, but not because it did not work, just my preference.

Since Windows 10 I go into BIOS and change the order of the hard drives to the one I want to boot into. I believe it is a Win10 problem and reverting to Win8.1 may be the only lasting fix. That being the case I don’t even know whether using Easy BCD instead of boot.ini to dual boot will solve the problem. This seems to me to indicate the hard drive boot order switch occurs while Windows is running some how. In both my instances the “Sorry, Windows has encountered a problem and must restart” is given first, and the “NTLDR is missing” is given upon restart. I know Windows update isn’t an issue because I have Automatic Updates disabled. You say you have used EasyBCD but also say “I still go into BIOS to boot into either one.” Do you mean you no longer use Easy BCD to dual boot?Īll the posters in the link from reply #6 talk about problems booting due to NTLDR missing, and a few of them say the problem happened after Windows update. I know I wouldn’t have just went to that without trying some other stuff first. I think I ended up reinstalling 7 and restoring 10 from a backup, but I still go into BIOS to boot into either one. I had your problem a while ago with Win10 & Win7, but I can’t remember how I fixed it, getting old I guess. I know I posted it in the Freebies Galore thread and Xercus posted with more information. I would wait for somebody who is a little more familiar with the program.
