Hey Syber,

How goes there?   

I stop by here every time and again to share thoughts with those AI journey-loving thinkers...  You have some great ideas. 

Hope you got that PC snag dealt with, or soon enough, eh?

Here is a spot that might be relaxing...  ;-)

Cheers!

Hey Syber,

Glad to hear you made some progress, what didn't work rules that same thing out of the equation.  I thought I'd punch in a few of your statements to Deepseek and it laid this out that I thought there might be a few nuggets you could muse over in case "something" in this batch brings light.  One thing is for sure, Windows updates tend to disrupt OS systems occasionally.

It sounds like the Windows update may have corrupted the bootloader or a critical system file on your 1TB drive. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

1. Use Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)
Boot into WinRE:

Restart your PC and repeatedly press F8, F11, or Esc (depending on your motherboard) to access the boot menu.

Select the option to boot into "Recovery Mode" or "Troubleshoot."

Access Advanced Startup Options:

In WinRE, go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options.

Run Startup Repair:

Select Startup Repair and let Windows attempt to fix the boot issue automatically.

2. Rebuild the Bootloader
If Startup Repair doesn't work, you may need to manually rebuild the bootloader using the Command Prompt.

Open Command Prompt in WinRE:

In WinRE, go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Command Prompt.

Identify the Windows Partition:

Run the following commands:

diskpart
list disk
select disk X (replace X with the disk number of your 1TB drive)
list partition

Identify the partition where Windows is installed (usually labeled as "Primary" and has the largest size).

Rebuild the Bootloader:

Exit DiskPart by typing exit.

Run the following commands (replace C: with the correct drive letter if necessary):

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd

Follow any on-screen prompts.

Restart Your PC:

3. Check for Corrupted System Files
If the bootloader is fixed but Windows still doesn't load properly, there may be corrupted system files.

Run System File Checker (SFC):

Boot into WinRE and open the Command Prompt as described above.

Run the following command:

sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows
(Replace C: with the correct drive letter if necessary.)

Run DISM (Deployment Imaging Service and Management Tool):

If SFC doesn't work, run these commands:

dism /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /restorehealth

4. Check the Multi-Boot Configuration
If you're using a multi-boot menu (e.g., via a tool like GRUB or EasyBCD), the update may have disrupted the boot configuration.

Reconfigure the Boot Menu:

Boot into the secondary OS (if available) and use a boot manager tool to reconfigure the multi-boot menu.

Set the Correct Boot Partition:

Use EasyBCD (Windows) or GRUB Customizer (Linux) to ensure the correct partition is set as the default boot option.

@Cyberjedi Thanks for the inquiry, I was going to ask but got cuaght up in this dang main os issue.
@Checker57 thank you for looking

Hey hey checker:

if you would be so kind as to get sybershot a copy of PP
He seemed to have an interest in it when we spoke last.

You know the procedure...
I think he would have a blast.
Thats why i released it, so we could all have fun.

update: still no main os, been trying numerous things, what makes it harder is I can't spend much time at a pc.
Thanks for the A.I. search Checker57, there is a couple things there I have not tried.

I'm thinking: this rig could not partition 4tb only 2tb, so I took the tb drive and formated it on the pc i built for my mom recently. then stuck it in my rig installed windows 11 and created a multi boot menu. all worked great for a couple weeks, then main os on the 1tb drive had a windows update which apon restart I now get this issue. So I think that might have played a part in this not sure though.

Reason for not being sure is because I did try the 1tb drive in the old rig and I get the same error.

Hey Cyber!

I'm sorry bro, I looked all over my drive for the PP app you had, to no avail.  I thought it was quite good.  Unfortunately, I had some drive issues that I had to resolve during the HAL pro version I set up a while back and apparently lost that in the mix.

Yeah, there are so many bits and parts in my HD that it would be awesome to have an AI that would simply search and keep track of everything on there and what happened to apps when not found.  I'm sure that's coming someday soon, where there will be an AI Mr Jeebs to oversight the entire OS.

Long day, tired... time to dive in bed.

@Sybershot - learning new things every day, which makes up for what I forget that same day!  haha.  I actually studied your response because of the techs contained in it.  My edumacation was before m.2 drives and we worked on Windows 7 with some FS and other file management executables that I probably still have on 3.5 floppies in the garage.     I am glad I have a pretty good fundamental understanding of PC operation, but yeah, I dug a little to understand your response and I get what you're laying out.

Having said that, AI is better than Google.  So, entered your statement: windows 11 on a 1tb m.2 drive. every time I try to start up the 1 tb m.2 drive, I get the missing file error and it loops back to the boot menu. I got the following reply:

Potential Causes
BIOS Settings: Incorrect BIOS settings such as Compatibility Support Module (CSM) enabled, or Secure Boot not set to "Windows UEFI."
Boot Configuration Data (BCD): Corrupted or missing BCD can result in boot errors.
Drive Not Recognized: The M.2 drive might not be initialized properly, or the system may not recognize it.
UEFI Mode: Not using UEFI mode can cause issues, especially if the drive is formatted for GPT but the system is not configured to boot using UEFI.

Suggested Solutions
BIOS Adjustments:

Disable CSM in BIOS settings.
Ensure Secure Boot is set to "Windows UEFI".
Turn off Volume Management Device (VMD) if applicable.
Repair BCD:

Boot from a Windows installation USB and select "Repair your computer."
Open Command Prompt and enter commands like bootrec /rebuildbcd to repair boot entries.
Initialize and Partition Drive:

Use tools like Disk Management or Partition Wizard to check if the drive is initialized and formatted correctly. Make sure it's using GPT.
UEFI Configuration:

Ensure that the system is set to boot in UEFI mode and not in legacy mode.
Disable legacy boot options.

Hope this gives you a few more options.  ;-)

@Checker57 Thanks for the confidence brother, I don't quit and I know more than most average joes about os'es. However, I cannot compare to your degree of wisdom in that field. I Have 3 operating systems, and I ran a DISM and a SFC on 2 of them, windows 11 4tb m.2, and windows 10 512gb m.2, and all test come out fine, I cannot boot into my main os which is windows 11 on a 1tb m.2 drive. every time I try to start up the 1 tb m.2 drive, I get the missing file error and it loops back to the boot menu.

I'm going to try and see if I can run the m.2 1tb drive on a pcie m.2 card on my old machine AKA Trinity tomorrow to rule out the os, I really feel like issue is in the boot but test came back good. if os boots up in old machine I'll delete and rebuild the boot, however getting way too late tonight.  I'll be sure to keep you posted.
