- On this video, I will show you an exclusive method in how to fix BOOTREC REBUILDBCD or FIXBOOT failure with this error message: “The System Cannot Find the Path Specified.” or "Bootrec RebuildBCD the Requested System Device Cannot be Found".
This message may appear if you are trying to fix boot loop or startup failure after cloning the disk or after a system failure in both GPT and MBR systems. But in MBR system, the error message is different as following:
“Element not Found when executing BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD, or Access denied when executing BOOTREC /FIXBOOT command.
Also if you are trying to rebuild BCD file using BCDBOOT C:\WINDOWS command, you will see this error message: “Failure When Attempting to Copy Boot Files.”
All of those errors indicate that the System or EFI partition is not configured properly or is not present at all.
When executing BCDEDIT command, you will see this error message: “The Boot Configuration Data Store Could Not be Opened.” Followed by: “The requested System Device Cannot be Found” instead of showing the Boot Configuration Data.

@@ValiumMediaTech The only thing I had to do different was to copy the "vmtechs.gpt" folder and not have the files "loose" in C: otherwise the txt file wasn't found when running the cmd file. Could it be because of line 13 in the script? DISKPART /S "%OSDRIVE%:\VMTechs.GPT\VMTechs.net.txt"
I have a little additional tip for those with the same problem, you should check your boot settings in your BIOS, make sure it is only booting using Legacy, because I have tried all the ways but it turns out that my boot was still default so all the ways did not work.

I fixed my PC using part of this method and a bootable windows installation USB instead of the files from this vid. (For GPT type HD)
TL;DR deleted system part then used windows installation tool to rebuild it and my original windows was restored with no loss.
I had done the first steps a few times in various attempts to fix without downloading the extra files so when it came time to do the whole process I accidentally skipped that part of assigning the SYSTEM volume a letter before doing the DEL PART OVERRIDE step. Then when I ran the VM file it didn't work and I was stuck again.
I then followed steps to restore the system part as follows:
1) Create an installation media
2) Boot PC with an installation media
3) Press SHFIT + F10 on the first screen to bring up Command Prompt
4) Run the following commands and click Enter each time at Command Prompt:
diskpart
list disk
select disk N (N refers to the disk which contains the deleted the EFI System partition)
list partition
create partition efi
format quick fs=fat32
list partition
list volume (find the volume letter which belongs to the installed Windows OS)
exit (exit diskpart)
bcdboot M:\windows (M refers to the volume letter of installed Windows OS)
After this I restarted and got a different blue screen error, restarted again and windows did a little update by itself then loaded into windows and everything was restored! Even the excel sheet I had open when my PC died 2 weeks earlier was still open/recovered.
Thanks for your addition!
I'm not sure if this is my issue. I updated windows 11 now I am locked out, no methods have worked in the repair utility, either unavailable or just restarts when selecting an option. I have windows 10 still on a separate internal SSD. Is there a way I can fix the issue manually while logged into windows 10? I can still see all the files on my windows 11 NVMe ssd. I need this fixed asap for work. Thank you!
What is your blue screen error message and error code?
You can try to boot rom the windows 10 SSD, just to see if the issue is related to windows 11 if the computer booted successfully, or if it is related to hardware issue if the computer failed to boot.

ive still got error in bootrec /fixmbr, still the system cannot find the filr specified. bootrec /fixboot , still the system cant find file specified. what i have to do? please any suggests?
- Is your windows folder exist?
- Do you have a GPT or MBR?
- Which method that have you tried, manual or automatic?
Hello, can i ask you something, i already followed your steps in the gpt system section, and when i create efi partition there is message that there is new steps not shown on the video, The recovery environtment should be enabled after formatting the efi partition and you have to assign a letter for recovery and all other partitions before pressing any key to continue. My question is how do i do that?
Oh wait, i found something. When adding installation to boot list. It answered "the requested system device cannot be found"
There is another script file that can rebuild the BCD and enable Recovery Environment automatically. Watch the following video to see how to do that and then tell me the result:
czcams.com/video/oQcFjr6laeo/video.html
@@ValiumMediaTech It worked, thank you so much. Thank for your fast response and your detailed videos, I hope you have a great day and happy new year
Thanks. Save me tons of time.
However, I have encountered two error while using the mbr script, first one is there is some hidden character in the beginning of the file which makes the command failed. I manually copied the content to a new file solve this issue.
The second issue is the for loop at the beginning of the script, as my system has more than one disks that have the windows installed. One of the disk match the for loop and OSDrive variable has value. So the script won't go to the MainPath. I execute all commands manually to solve this issue.
So may I know what is the for loop used in the script?
First, many thanks for your nice comment.
In relation to script error, you can watch the new video if you still need it: czcams.com/video/oQcFjr6laeo/video.html
I relation to For Loop, it's used to search for specific files in all partitions, so the partition that contains that file, is identified as the OSDrive or whatever.
You just saved my failed attempt at cloning one m.2ssd to another. I guess something got corrupted in the boot files when i was cloning with macrium reflect, i was pretty worried about losing everything and thought i'd have to do a fresh windows install but nope, found your video and was saved. Thank you!
Thank you too for your nice feedback!
at 3:48, the gpt one, the sel part would be 5? or 4? i'm confused, as volume 4 lists Drive F as Videos

Hi... Im not entirely sure if i should try this. Bcdedit shows my windows partition, however it cannot boot into desktop. It alwsys try to do a repair after BSOD stop code : registry error. I tried fixboot but also get access denied. Just wondering if this is a boot loader issue or corrupted registry issue. Should i just try anyways? Thanks in advance.
As the stop code state, your problem is related to registry and not related to BCD. So you can watch this video to see hoe to fix your registry problem:

U R welcome!
ok.. using your BCD application it deleted my system reserve but did not build a new one. I ran your program but it failed. so I created a new partition off my drive C (100MB) I then ran your create BCD hoping it would create the boot file in the reserve but it see's my BCD file on the win 10 media disk ( USB) so I hit no on deleting it and the program exits. so how do I create the new reserve with the boot files? it is empty right now. my windows is on C. Thanks
Recognizing what are you doing and what the tool do is a good thing that indicates you will succeed in fixing your issue by yourself. NOW, try this new tool from this video to rebuild the BCD:

Glad it helped!
Thanks a lot bro, your tutorial videos are very helpful...In an effort to copy boot files to the system partition after running "BCDBOOT C:/WINDOWS", I experience the following error: "BFSVC Error: Unable to load MUI file for BCD strings (2)", please I will highly appreciate your pieces of advice concerning this error. Thanks again and may God bless you abundantly!
- Is your system a GPT or MBR ?
- Can you take a photo for the result of automatic bat file or command line, then upload the photo to paste.pics/ or similar image hosting website, after that post the photo link in new comment.
maybe a better question. 1. could I have put boot file and manager on both the system reserve and windows drive C and they are conflicting? 2. should both reserve and main drive be active? currently (see last comment below) my reserve I just recreated is empty amd looking to build boot in there. I have rebuilt it once via someone instructions but still got path not found that is when I did your two videos which deleted the reserve and as I said made new partition. been at it for a few weeks now.. thanks.
Remove the created partition and then try this new video:
czcams.com/video/oQcFjr6laeo/video.html
I did remove partition but your auto file still sees the USB win 10 media boot files and asked to delete it. I say no and it ends @@ValiumMediaTech
@@Wiscwin1 - Copy the auto file to the C or another partition, disconnect the USB and the try again.

Still having an issue, and it seems the CMD Batch for MBR you provided just threw a ton of errors; "New steps NOT shown in video", something about "Windows Recovery needs a letter assigned before pressing a key to continue" and still got the "Requested system device could not be found" with the "bootrec /RebuildBCD" command that was done by the batch. I checked the link you provided but the steps are the same so I guess I'm completely ******. I Just need a way to completely rebuild the system partition (which is completely missing). After turning on the laptop, it doesn't even get to a Windows error, BIOS isn't seeing an OS which makes sense since the System Volume has vanished. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I could even Paypal you, I can't afford to lose all my programs.

What does it mean if my disk (in this case an ssd) has a GPT scheme but the system partition has a folder called "boot" as it would be in an MBR scheme? Is there a problem with that?
Nvm I checked out your recent video about this issue and solved the problem, but my files got deleted lol. Thank you, I guess.
You are Welcome!
Thank you for such a great video, I am hopeful for my laptop! 😂
I have 2 drives in my laptop; Disk 0 is a clone of my previous laptop while Disk 1 came along with the existing laptop. Both GPT drives contains the System & FAT32 files (both also contains the program files etc), which should I rebuild BCD on? 😅
You are welcome!
Selecting which one to rebuild the BCD on is your choice, however, you have to either keep both windows and create dual boot (so you have to select which windows to boot every time you start the computer), or exclude one windows from one drive by *DELETING* the Windows, Recovery and EFI partitions in the excluded disk and then create a new volume from deleted partitions.
If you decided to keep both windows, you have to delete the EFI partition that is located on the excluded drive (i.e. the drive that you have excluded its windows).
You're the man!
I spent much time on KB and videos, you saved me the life. I appreciate it.
Just a comment in my side, I omitted to create the system (V) partition with your txt file because I got errors. I removed it and deleted lines about this process. Finally I was able to fix the boot issue.
Just as feedback, I did a image backup from easeus utility and didn't work properly, but good more time thank you.

Sir, I followed all of your steps for the automatic recreation of the boot partition. However, when I right-click on your batch file using notepad, as described, I do not get the the option to run as administrator. Do you have an explanation for this?

After the bootsect /nt60 sys /force it says the system partition was not found. Do you have any advise for this?

nice video but I cannot recover my gpt system. You give step-by-step instructions for mbr disk then blast through gpt in like 5 seconds! I cannot figure out wtf to do. I definately have windows on my e: disk and I can get to the efi partition. That partition has a boot folder a msi folder and microsoft folder both with their own boot folders. I am confused as fusk as to what I am supposed to do? Everytime I try bootrec /fixmbr or /fixboot or rebuild I get cannot find specified files. I have windows on two disks but can only boot off one of them. I am assuming I want to point the efi boot to the windows partition on the e: drive? That is the drive that is failing. Anyway it would be nice if you split this into TWO videos. One for MBR and one for GPT because the way they are in this I cannot sort out one procedure from the other!!!
If you are sure that you have detect the Boot o EFI partition, then you can delete it and then recreate it and rebuild BCD automatically as on this video:
czcams.com/video/BEftZevGKcw/video.html
Watch the part that is related to rebuilding the BCD.

Because this error code 0xc00000e may caused by HDD or SSD corruption in addition to BCD corruption.
@@ValiumMediaTech so.. am i need a recovery tool from USB or disk or something else?
@@wanggamink7068You can need it in the following situations:
- If you are unable to boot into windows recovery Environment
- If there is a missing system file that need to be replaced from installation media.
- If you want to install a fresh copy of windows into your computer.
When you do everything and press Y, it shows path cannot be found/accessed!
I have fixed it by creating new boot partion and deleting system partition using del part override

- Did you have an intact windows partition with all windows files?; If yes, did you added it to the text file as instructed on the video?
- What is the type of your disk scheme, and which method that you have used to fix your issue ?
What do you mean at 4:00 I don’t what solutions I am able too use ?
It means you have to be able to identify whether your disk scheme has a GPT or MBR in order to be able to select the applicable solution from the next parts of the video.

I’m getting the error (the boot configuration data store could not be opened. The system cannot find the file specified.) after verifying and typing bcdedit after exiting the batch file. My boot is an EFI GPT and did the exact instruction in the video.
Make sure you have selected the correct partition of windows.
Also make sure that you have file called "BCD-Template" inside windows partition on this path if the C is your windows partition:
C:\Windows\System32\config
If your windows is on D partition, replace the C with the D as followings:
D:\Windows\System32\config
Also you can execute this command to see o\if the file exist or not:
NOTEPAD C:\Windows\System32\config\BCD-Template
If the file exist, it will be opened in the Notepad.
If the file not exist, an empty file of notepad will be opened with an error message asking you if you want to create the file because is not exist. Don't allow the note pad to create a new file with by selecting "No" in the dialogue message.
If the file not exist, that mean you are trying on the wrong partition or your system files are missing or corrupted.
Hello my brother
How i can install windows 8.1 on windows 10 after 10 days or deleting windows old ?
Seems you are commenting on the wrong place, however, if you want to install windows 8.1 over windows 10, you will need to do a clean installation, by formatting the C partition, after that, install windows 8.1 as usuall installation.
This video may help you in how to do a clean installation:

I can't pass the bootsect
t60 sys part.
It says : system partition not found
Try this video:

My computer had issues when updating to windows 11, but I’m pretty sure it’s windows 10 right now.
At 7:50 I deleted the system. Copy and pasted the gpt files you provided where windows and user file is under (D:\) for me (although I see another windows and user file under (H:\) as well. Only did it for (D:\) so far.
So I changed the txt file to D, since that’s where the windows and user is. And ran your program as administrator. Then I got
Virtual Disk Service error: the specified shrink size is too big and will cause the volume to be smaller than the minimum volume size.
Bootrec /fixmbr (completed successfully)
Bootsect /nt60 sys /force (target volumes will be updated with bootmgr compatible boot code.)
The system partition was not found: The requested system device cannot be found.
D:\>bootrec /fixboot (element not found)
Bootrec /rebuildbcd (identified 2 Windows installations)
1) D:\ Windows - 2) H:\ Windows
I push y for both then
Element not found.
It all started with windows update and I got error code 0xc0000001. Been watching your videos for days but I’m running out of options and really don’t want to lose my files like anyone with this issue. I hope you can help somehow, thanks for your videos either way.
Additional info, I had the * sign under gpt in disk 0 (D:/) so I’m pretty sure I’m using the right file you gave (gpt). However the mentioned (H:/) is in disk 1 with no *.
Seems your windows is on the H partition and not on the D partition. If that is true, you need to use MBR, because the H is located on an MBR disk as stated in your reply to your comment.
To confirm that the H is your windows partition, open USERS folder and look at the profile name (according to the folders names in the main menu of the USERS folder). The profile name is your name that appear in login screen when you are trying to login into desktop.
You may need to remove the V partition that was created when running GPT file as administrator (if exist), after that execute the MBR file the rebuild your BCD, but you need to confirm that the H is your Windows partition first.
Thank you for the quick reply. Just want to confirm after I show you this video.
czcams.com/video/Cwk9qKGMWcQ/video.html
How do I see if v partition is there or not? I’m not too sure what to do after. Download the mbr and copy paste, and run as administrator on the H:/?
Update: the main issue I think is that the system partition is not being created with your commands.
When the shrink command is applied, it comes with “virtual disk service error…the specified shrink size is too big”
Been trying to look for guide to fix that in cmd but it’s looking like I’m reaching a dead end.
If you got any ideas for a fix, that’s awesome but it’s looking like this great journey is finally coming to an end.
Hope to never find myself around here again but good luck to everyone on the same journey.
Sorry for the late reply, but you already have a System partition which is the N that appears in the list of volumes.
But the strange thing is that you have two windows partitions with the same Username (Stiffy). Have you cloned the disk from the D to the H or from the H to the D?
The suggestion now is to do the followings:
1- Execute the following commands to see in which disk does the N Volume belong to:
DISKPART
SEL VOL 3
LIST DISK
You will see an asterisk (*) before the disk that has the N partition to indicate that the disk is the selected one.
2- If the disk 0 is the selected one, then the D is your default windows partition, so you will need to use the GPT file to rebuild the BCD.
3- If the disk 1 is the selected one, then the H is your default windows partition and you have to use the MBR file to rebuild the BCD.
4- Before running either GPT or MBR files:
a- You have to permanently remove some files (using Shift + Delete keys from keyboard) from either the D or the H partition to allow at least 1 gigabytes free space on that partition.
b- Delete the N volume using these commands:
SEL VOL 3
DEL VOL OVERRIDE
c- But before deletion, make sure that the volume number 3 is the same volume that appear on your video (i.e. the size is 100 mb, and it has "System Reserved" label).
D- When you asked to type Yes or no to add the identified windows path to the BCD, type yes or Y only for the windows that you have identified on step number 2 or thee, and type No or N for the other disk. For example if you have identified that the N partition belong to the disk number 0, then you have to type Yes for the D partition and to type No for the H partition.
Hi, tried this but got blue screen with error code 0xc000000f. Please help
If the error is related to BCD, then rebuilding BCD will fix your issue. But if there is another error source, then you have to fix it first. The following videos may help you:

this fixed the blue screen problem but when It opened my laptop, my ssd was missing.
my system and windows was in the SSD previously and after following your instructions, it fixed the blue screen but maybe removed may ssd.
is there something I did wrong? please help, I want to retrieve my files
Maybe you have a windows OS installed in your another hard disk and you have rebuilt the BCD to open windows from it.
To see if your SSD connected, press windows logo + X keys from keyboard and then select *Disk Management* option.
@@ValiumMediaTech Hi! Thanks for replying.
The SSD is still connected and seems that it has no issues. I still have folders and apps that were from the SSD but I cannot open it since it shows "Error Location". I just don't know if there was no file loss. The SSD doesn't show up in the "My Computer" tab.
In Disk Management, it doesn't have a letter assigned to it, if I try to assign drive letter and path, it shows the error message "The operation failed because the disk management console is not up-to-date....".
Is there any way I can fix this? I really want to get my files back.
@@kenjohnmac4841 Try to assign letters using DISKPART as followings:
1- Run CMD as administrator
2- Type the following commands:
DISKPART
LIST DISK
3- If the SSD order number is 1, Select it using this command:
SEL DIS 1
(If the SSD number is 0, select it using (SEL DIS 0) instead
4- Show SSD partitions using these commands:
LIS PART
LIS VOL
5- Select the partition that you want to assign a letter for it using this command (e.g. to assign a letter to partition number 3):
SEL PART 3
or
SEL VOL 3
6- Assign a free letter that is not being used by another partition using this command:
ASSIGN LETTER=M
@@ValiumMediaTech
I did this and I see my SSD(Disk0) in partition 3 out of 4 partitions as a Primary Type.
I followed your instructions and the last part where I assign a letter showed "there is no volume specified, please select a volume and try again"
In the Volume list, my ssd which has 475GB is not present, only the HDD and 2 other (below1GB) volumes. BTW, my volumes start at Volume 2, and then 3, 4. No 0 and 1 volumes. Just saying Incase this means something.
What can I do about this?
Thank you for replying, sorry if I reply late since I have my midterms.
@@kenjohnmac4841 Maybe the SSD is disconnected or disabled from BIOS settings. If not, you may need to disconnect your HDD from motherboard and then boot With SSD only. If the PC booted, then you can rebuild the BCD and then boot into desktop, after that, shut down the PC and reconnect the HDD again.
