MBR - Volume does not contain a file system recognized - after bootrec options

I was unable to install the Vista SP2 (as it appeared later, because of a Grub boot loader installed by Linux). I tried to reconfigure the bootloader and the partitions (which allows to boot directly into Windows), but after several bootloader configurations (load different partitions as well as MBR) and some partition resizing (resize incl. NTFS partition). Windows unbootable.

I tried Windows Rescue Disk:

Bootrec /fixmbr succeeded

Bootrec /fixboot did not work until I made the /scanos (including iedentified, after having disassembled the NTFS Linux partition and putting the flag of boot loader in the MBR and the default option of grub in Windows, there are 1 installation of Windows in C:\windows).

If I then repeated bootrec /fixboot he gave the message that the volume does not contain a recognized file system.

I also did bootrec /rebuildBCD (after renamed it bcd), ultimately without success.

In total, the situation of 'better' I reached was either a Windows startup with a cursor flashing something happens (apparently find the partition but not any which boot file or OS); or the spare arriving to determine that there is a partition of Windows Vista, but (following the first option to simply repair the system) 'no errors detected. " The second option here, "Restore to a previous point" refers to that there is no previous such restore point.

It took me about 24 hours now to finally get SP2 installed, but obviously with only murkier.

Hi Willem W,.

I suggest trying the (step 1 in the link) Startup Repair and then manually rebuild the BCD (Boot Configuration data) using Bcdedit.exe (step 3) in the article below and check if this solves the problem

Error message when you start Windows Vista: "the Windows Boot Configuration data file is missing required information".

  • USB flash drive receives an error "volume does not contain a recognized file system" in Windows 7

    I plugged my USB on a windows 7. He always invites me to analyze and correct or cancel. I cancelled each time, but I got bored with it popping up each time, so I said to investigate and fix.  A loading screen came so I waited patiently. After that it asks me to format my USB flash drive. I can't format it but because I have files from work to home and all my other personal files out there. So I cancelled the format, but every time that I plug it into my computer it asks t format. I even plugged in on a computer running windows XP and wanted to get in shape. When I try to run it without formatting as it is said, "E:\ is not accessible. The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted. "My question is... what we Windows 7 to my USB and how can I recover my data?

    This is common with USB drives used on different operating systems. It happens alwaysto me when I use my drive to work (which is managed since my MacBook Pro) on Vista and Windows 7 client computers. Like you, I learned the hard way you must cancel the digitization of Vista/Win7. The only thing to do at this stage is to connect the player to a computer that can read the files OR use the software of data recovery on it to get the files. I believe that Recuva can do it for free. Format the Flash DRIVE, then start again. Either way, you don't want to use a USB key as a single backup of important files because - as you have unfortunately discovered - stuff happens.

  • the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os

    Hello

    I got this message when recovery... I can't get the windows... I have the CD recovery, but when I boot it... It gives me this message

    the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os

     


    How do I solve this problem

    Hello

    Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the same version that originally shipped with your laptop - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, that is the file you need to download ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly file on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Image is - Digital River.

    Images of Windows 7.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    Remove the data cable of all drives except the drive that you want to install Windows 7 on.

    Remove all external devices.

    Delete all partitions on the disk leave all of the disc as "unallocated".

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD and then install, when you reach the point where it asks you to select a drive, click the "Advanced" option and create a new partition (at least 50 GB) to install Windows and continue with the installation process.

    So I'm stuck.

    Any ideas suggestions? Can't see a way past it.
    Everyone?

    Thank you

    I assume that you have placed this HARD drive in the laptop, but you have not formatted it.
    If you want to install a Win98 HARD drive must contain a FAT or FAT32 file system.
    I recommend booting from the Windows XP CD and format.
