Eventually the solution was to remove the drive from my PC, connect it to a friends PC and execute the commands. I’ve left out a ton of other troubleshooting and commandsĪs I’m writing this after the incident and can’t remember all the commands and errors I recieved, I wish I could to help others more. As well as confirm through Diskpart that the drive isn’t read only. However when trying to write new directories to the disk in command prompt, I am able to do so. Tried dism.exe /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions I forget the error but somethingĪlong the lines of disk not available. System file checker (sfc) running "sfc /scannow" Error :There is a system repair pending which requires a reboot to complete. Try using Diskpart to set active partition, try to move boot files. rebuildbcd - fails Error is “The requested system device cannot be found” When searching this error forums/others say this is because of USB WRE. Run: bootrec /fixmbr - works bootrec /fixboot - works bootrec Also just to add, trying a refresh or reset throws a device is locked message from the WRE.

Use WIndows RecoveryĮnvironment (WRE) from a genuine DVD. Put the computer into safe mode and tried removing recent windows updates. the following was the nightmare to the resolution. Try to update and fail during the restart every time.
