Step 1. Boot to your Windows 10 CD or USB. when you get to the install windows screen, click the Repair your computer instead of Install now.
Step 2. Select Troubleshoot and then Advanced Options.
Step 3. Select Command Prompt.
Step 4. Type diskpart and press Enter key.
Step 5. Type list disk and press Enter. Now check disk number to identify boot disk, this is usually Disk 0. if not, use the correct boot disk number.

Step 9. Type assign letter=V: and press Enter. V: can be replaced by any drive letter that is not in use by any partition.
Step 10. Type exit and press Enter.
Step 11. Now type V: (or the drive letter you just assigned) and hit Enter.
Step 12. Type md \efi\microsoft\boot\ and hit Enter.
Step 13. Type cd /d V:\efi\microsoft\boot\ and hit Enter.
Step 14. Now type bootrec /fixboot command, the problem should be solved now.

![Repairing Windows Boot Partition and Boot Files | [Resolved] bootrec fixboot access denied](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/WC4lDgpud1Y/mqdefault.jpg)
It still shows access denied , even when I am in the efi\microsoft\boot directory
You have to do this exact command:
bootsect /nt60 all
(note the space between bootsect and the forward slash). Also, I did not have to retry the: bootrec /fixboot.
I simply shut down the PC and rebooted.
I have learned it in a tread in this comment section. The first to shared this made a mistake and forgot to put a space. It worked for me.
Thanks dude
Not working
Thanks a lot ot worked
When do I put that command?
Thank you brother
Amaaaaazing!!!! Tanks soooo much for this. I pass last 5 hours trying fix a Ssd error and only that's works. Congratulations and thank you. I'm from Brazil.
Doesn't work. Still getting "Access is denied" after step 14. Followed everything by letter. Including spaces.
this video has literally one purpose and fails in it. well done man
lol
use bootsect/nt60 ALL
@@wyattgowing9613 Damnn thx u that really helped omg what the heck
@@FlashDust np glad to help
@@wyattgowing9613 yes it works
Hi.
When I exit diskpart, I'm getting
X:\windows\system32>
This is same program at start which is different to your initial start letters??
Where am I going wrong??
When I type ‘list vol’ C is on volume 2. Volume 1 says ‘Recovery’ under the Label column. Will this procedure still work? Substituting vol 2 where you are using vol 1 in the video?
After typing command with cd
1:53
It says the system cannot find the path specified
i selected volume 1 when I should of selected 2 because thats where my C drive is for some reason. I got all the way to
1. cd /d V:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\
2. bootrec /FixBoot
and it wasnt working. but now ive created boot files for the wrong vol. please how do I undo this and select the correct volume
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Here's what worked for me. Note that it may depend on version of Windows (10 in my case), on build within that (probably 18362), and on other factors I'm not aware of. This is in a UEFI context
Initially I used bootsect, limited to the drive letter I'd assigned to the boot partition, that is, where "cd /d V:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\" is valid. That may be safer than using "All". Change "V:" to what is valid on your machine.
bootsect /nt60 V:
This responded:
"Updated FAT32 filesystem bootcode. The update may be unreliable since the volume could not be locked during the update: Access is denied.
Bootcode was successfully updated on all targeted volumes."
I added /force (it dismounts the drive and so warns about files that may be open but the risk seemed small in my case):
bootsect /nt60 V: /force
This responded:
"Forced dismount complete, open handles to this volume are now invalid.
Successfully updated FAT32 filesystem bootcode"
After that "bootrec /FixBoot" still responded "Access is denied.", so I just continued to bcdboot, although some sources say it is not necessary:
ren BCD BCD.old
bcdboot c:\Windows /l en-us /s V: /f All
After that, and rebooting, I eventually got the "Repair: Your PC/Device needs to be repaired:", message again, but the option to fix C: was successful and after that Windows booted.
Good luck to you in your journey through this distressing situation!
Golden comment bless you brother
@@Chris-qk8uz Indeed! @Eric, you're a life saver bro!!!!
Dropping a comment for visibility, worked for me. Thanks
You are so helpful you took me to the finish. TU
I’m sorry I typed V: but cannot create a V volume directory. It’s indicated ”The volume doesn’t contain a recognized file system. Please make sure all required file system drivers are loaded and that volume is not corrupted.” Could you please advise?

I have Windows 10 MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro. I'm currently stuck in the restart loop of the computer. How do I fix the bootrec /fixboot (Access denied)? I have a USB Media USB.
Its been 3 weeks and i cant get any one to make a proper tutorial on how to create a MBR partition for win 10. they are all efi or it is a repair but can some one make a working tutorial on making an MBR partition from scratch?
Why will it not work I have been doing this for 3 hours
I did exactly as you said. However, after typing fixboot, the answer from command prompt was still "Access is denied."
What should I do?
Btw, on the step list disk, I only have one disk: Disk 0. I don't know if it matters
Same problem as yours. How did you fix it?
@@lynnn2805 I didn't actually. I even took the laptop to the repair shop. It didn't fixed. They hardly could install an old version of windows 10 and I was told the windows must never get updated.
I tried this, but this isn't working. The computer still says Access is denied
Didn’t do @2:30 and exited now have disc read error. Anyone know how to get back to command prompt and fix it?
I get "the directory or file cannot be created" when I attempt to md \efi....\boot\. Anyone have any ideas?
at 2:22 I still got Access denied. (what should I do from there)? Thanks in advance.

It won't work if I run CHKDSK, and I tried to fix MBR it worked well with partition assistant from Ao mei.
i followed all the steps, but i still have access denied, tried bootsect/nt60 all, but it didnt work, what am i supposed to do?
I followed all the instructions but now I get critical process died error what should I do?
Still getting access denied.
When i type "bcdboot C:\windows /l en-us /s V: /f all" it says "failure when attempting to copy boot files"
Help someone??🙏🏾
Did you get an answer to your question
Same problem here
Me too
Same 😕
same msg
i couldnt assign it to a new letter , it says changing the drive letters not allowed
After changing boot letter drive still getting no acces should i still continue the next steps or ...other options that would work!
Why do you say windows is on "C"? That looks like system reserved and D has the space as the regular working drive and Windows installation?
I came across this just a few minutes ago so although it's old just do the following to fix: BOOTREC /FIXBOOT ACCESS DENIED message. Basically the reason why this one didn't work from what I can work ouot is that you get ACCESS DENIED depending on the format maybe like NTFS? as it does point this out as NTFS file system bootcode though I am not too sure myself, just seems that way from what I have experienced.
1: type at x:sources>bootsect/nt60 sys */just as that and do not worry about no space between /nt60 as it will work. you should get: Target volumes will be updated with BOOTMGR compatible bootcode. V: (\\?\Volume{1a2b3c4d-0000-0000-0000-100000000000}) Successfully updated NTFS filesystem bootcode. Bootcode was successfully updated on all targeted volumes.
2: type at x:sources\>bootrec/fixboot (again do not worry about having a space before /fixboot)
now you should see: The operation completed successfully.
For those who come across this and experience difficulty with keep getting access denied, you also do not need to assign a new letter, just skip all that and just do this.
For the creator Britec09. Please, if you haven't update this as this may work for ALL. skip the diskpart biut and just go straight to this. I was actually doing this on Server 2019 essentials.
Thanks it worked
Thank you brother it worked for me
mate, I love u. I deleted a disk partition that contained Ubuntu and the grub menu didn't show windows boot. After 8 hours, your comment and some microsoft forums can boot windows with all my information, and I'm very happy because I have 48 hours to submit a practice test for a job like my last year in college.
P.D.:Thank to all people that take the time to comment videos like this, you saved my ass so many times

Im still stuck in efi bootrec /fixboot
Before that also get notification about md efi Microsoft boot if that subdirectory already exists. So what ?
Assign letter=V: is giving me error "Virtual Disk Device error:Assigning or removing drive letters in the current boot or page file volume is not allowed". Kindly advice or anyone can help. Highly appreciate it.
For those still getting Access denied try running "bootsect/nt60 all" then try "bootrec /fixboot" again. However that's as far as I have got, I now get "Failure when attempting to copy boot files" on the final step. Any Ideas?
Thanks it work
Bro I love you
Thanks a lot!
Tks u very much
Mine is still denied 😭 it says a subdirectory or file \efi\microsoft\boot\ already exists.
Hi Britec09. On your video at 1:04mins, what is in volume 3? On my computer, I have C (which has windows 10), F (which has my files and folders), D (which is my USB Windows 10 Media Creation tool) and E (which is a hidden file). All the volumes show as HEALTHY. My error code is 0xc000000f. I originally had Windows 7 pro and I upgraded to Windows 10 pro during the free upgrade. Yesterday, I needed to run Windows 7 and so I attached a hard drive copy of Windows 7, without detaching the Windows 10 hard drive. I changed the boot sequence to boot from Windows 7. After finishing my work, I rebooted it from Windows 10 and that was when I got that RECOVERY blue screen with the error message. I did what you did, but I keep getting Accessed Denied. I read that UEFI is used on newer computers and it replaces the BIOS. My computer uses BIOS, but I tried with both bootable drives. Am I getting Access Denied because I am trying to access the Hidden volume?? Any suggestions? Anyone?
mines the opposite mine says successfully scanned windows installation [1] c:\windows
add installation to boot list? Yes(Y) No(N)All(A) : then I do not know what to do next please help
failure to when attempting to copy boot files
What do I do if I followed this procedure in this video and I still get access denied?
How did you know C drive is the one to select? In your video it says 549 MB for that volume 1 C drive I would have assumed the biggest file size was the main drive you want to pick.
Thanks for this very valuable info! Needed this. Hope you had a nice holiday!
Thanks Paul

My problem is bootrec not recognized as an internal command windows 10. Tried this fix but got V not recognised as ... Do you have a fix for this problem please.
My C drive was in 0 I followed what you did but put 0 as that's where it says my C drive is but after I put in the command Assign Letter=V: it said "there is no volume specified.
Please select a volume and try again."
I went through all the steps but access is still denied
Me too unlucky me...
Not working, still access denied...
For me it isn't working. I'm MSI F3 button. When I exit CMD the system said something different.
got past that by running takeown but now fails with access denied on bootrec /fixboot
U used different versions of command, first u used 17134 then u used other version
DO NOT DO THIS
Moving these files around does not fix anything and creates further issues due to other potential fixes being unable to find them in the proper directory.
Wait if we do this dose that mean we gatta get a new laptop or pc??

Wait I just did this is there a way I can go back or fix it

how did you change it from x:\windows\system32 to x:\sources ?
You have to use an external windows 10 recovery USB.
This is exactly what I am looking for. Many thanks.

2:11 the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect
This was successful for me except I had to use D: instead of C: even though the volume list showed "system reserved" as "C". D is a large space volume where I know Windows exists. ??? When I bootrec /scanOs it does not find a Windows installation.
List volume displays:

8 J Removable
bootrec /scanOs and /ebuildbcd do not find an installation (renaming BCD to BCDBACKUP.OLD allowed /rebuildbcd to work)
If you guys are coming after deleting some other OS like Linux, I would suggest while on GRUB, you simply type exit and select windows boot and then fix boot when logged in on Windows.

Don't work for me !
I guess any letters besides "C" will do ? If so, just the "assign" command is sufficient. The system will automatically pick the next available letter to assign.
I you insist to assign a specific letter, the semi-colon after the letter is not necessary.
A bad command here :
V>cd /d V:\efi\microsoft\boot
a correct command :
V>cd efi\microsoft\boot
unless "/d" have a specific function that I don't know
I guess that if we already have this directory structure (efi\etc...), the "md" is unwarranted !?
