Paul ,

 

Glad to report System Restored to before this situation happened.

It has been a twisting and turning adventure.

Thank you for your expertise.

Cheers to you

Paul,

MR Fix Boot did create login to safe mode at least.

Immediately after MR Fix Boot the dual-boot was gone but strangely now it ( the dual boot )

is back and working normally except for Windows log in.

So at this point I can get in to Windows Safe mode at least.

I just booted up Windows 11 ISO using a Ventoy USB.  I selected “Boot in normal mode”

and was transferred to a black screen with the following :

 

Windows Boot Manager

Windows failed to start.  A recent hardware of software change might be the cause.

To fix the problem:

1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Change your language settings and then click “Next”.
3. Click “Repair your Computer”

If you do not have this disc, contact sys admin or manufacturer for assistance.

File: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD

Status: 0xc000000d

The Boot Configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains errors.

 

This may be something….

I’m wondering since Window10 PE Macrium worked at fixing the windows boot at least to safe mode that if instead of using a Windows 11 ISO a Windows 10 ISO install disk would

do better .

 

When selecting Windows Boot Manager in the dual boot menu all that was returned was a blue screen with “RECOVERY” Your PC couldn’t start properly

Ater multiple tried the OS on your PC failed to start so it need to be repaired.

Error code: 0xc00000001

F1 Recovery Environment does not work

F8 Startup Setting is a list of 9 options.

From here Safe Mode can be accessed

 

Good news.  I am now doing a system restore as once I logged in to safe mode  as administrator

all kinds or recovery options became enabled .

I will update you and hopefully this will be marked as resolved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paul,

I was able to successfully install the RAID controller ( iaStorVD.inf ) because I changed from Windows 11 Macrium PE to Windows 10 PE and now I can see the previously unviewable windows partition from inside Macrium.

I still have to download and add the USB Controller and I should be good to go.

Because my original situation was that Windows may be corrupt I don’t know but want to try making an image of it and re-install it.

Would this surely create problems or is it a viable attempt to recapture the original

Windows installation?

Thank you for you patience and I have to thank Macrium support as well.

 

 

 

Point taken. Only problem is that after extracting

(copying) all the.sys  and.inf files to the C:\boot\ Macrium folder

and trying to load them they are not showing up in the folder.

They should be there unless rebuilding the Windows PE disk

didn’t take?

 

 

The device ID 9A0B and 9A1B look unfamiliar to me.

Through some Google searching it is not consistent

with the Dell Intel Rapid Storage Technology

drive I extracted to rebuild Macrium Rescue Disk.

 

Could this be the core reason the drivers aren’t losing?

 

Paul,

Here is the latest driver I have downloaded and begun extracting but haven’t tested out yet.

MEGA

This is the Intel one:

Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Driver Installation Software with Intel® Optane™ Memory (10th and 11th Gen Platforms)

And Dell:

Support for Inspiron 7506 2-in-1 | Drivers & Downloads | Dell Vietnam

I have been able to correctly extract to a folder now where I could not do it before.

Still injecting it into a Macrium PE build is not an option as far as I can tell.

Could this be because I am using a trial version?

Paul,

I have located the device controller and have downloaded it to my good W11 PC to a folder.

I also followed the link you provided to create a Windows PE disk and add a driver to the USB disk.

I have encountered a snag in doing so in that the drivers listed under Devices and Drivers do not allow to add any *new* drivers – it only lists the accepted drivers from the local Windows PC.

Therefore it doesn’t really help to create a PE disk without being able to add the correct driver.

Paul, Here is a current screenshot of what Macrium rescue disk can ( and cannot ) see.

 

 

Paul,

I did as you suggested by making a Rescue USB Macrium Reflex Home ( Trial Version )

disk.  Booted into the program, tried to choose fix boot problem option and came up

with no recognition of the damaged windows 11 disk at all.  Further before this was prompted to

load drivers if I planned on backing up or restoring anything.

Macrium is really great.  If there is any hope left I would think they would be the ones to fix it.

I tried to create a support ticket however any support must be a paid version member only.

Searching community forums yielded no duplicate problem such as this.

Hi Paul,

 

It has been awhile since I have been able to formulate a plan to resolve this.

Refreshing the situation:

Dual Boot Ubuntu 24.04 and Windows 11.

Absolutely cannot boot into Windows 11.

Done so far.

Made a restorable Clonezilla image of the Ubuntu partition .

Plan A

Image the Windows ( damaged ) partition with Clonezilla to a Crucial 1TB (exFat) SSD.

The current Windows filesystem is NTFS.  ( see attached – partition 3 )

Question : Is it important to Format the SSD to NTFS or is leaving it as exFat ok?

At this point I will have two restorable partitions – one of each operating system.

What I would like to know is if I want to reinstall the Windows image just to see if it will

work again, will I need to format the entire system or can I just try to restore the W11 partition only.

Plan B

Reinstall Windows with a W11 ISO from scratch.  But same question, I will have to start all over and

format entire disk before new W11 install – I am assuming.

Then, because Ubuntu will have to re-installed I can restore the Clonezilla image and re-install

the Linux bootloader to get back to a dual boot start up.

 

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks.

Jerry

I will report back after trying.  Thanks.

 

I am going to try a backup using Macrium Reflect – making a rescue USB that is.

I see that as the only way to possibly create an image outside of windows.

 

Thoughts?

 

 

Thanks.  One other question if I could about Windows.  The System came with Windows 10 Home edition and I upgraded it for free to Windows 11 Home.

How will that affect the re-installation / recovery process.

 

 

 

the un-bootable Windows11 partition is /dev/nvme0n1p3

Please let me know if I need to resubmit this attachment for clarity.

It is Gparted .

nvme0n1p9 is the DellSUPPORT partition I was able to see the disk clone I was referring to earlier:

I have a usb that I can boot using Ventoy. It has some tools that I can use to visualize the

Windows 11 system that won’t boot.

Through a listing of diskcloning logs It appears there may be a healthy clone image

available if I can get to it.
