Sometimes you simply cannot make that bios change. More than once I have tried to follow online bios instructions such as are in this post and found to my dismay that the part of bios I am advised to alter does not even exist in my bios. If what you do causes trouble, you will need that physical record to undo how you got in trouble.Īll bios are not the same. Restore to a good image has no effect on bios, which is separate from windows. Write down using pen and paper every daggone step you do when you mess with bios. Took a little while to understand what it was, and thankfully, it was not Windows’s problem (this time!!!)Ī wee bit of info and advice for those like me who are NOT techies and come here because of that fact.

It ended up being a faulty memory upgrade that had worked fine since September last year….that suddenly malfunctioned. Just couldn’t explain what had changed from one day to the next. The other day I was getting boot-loop and BSOD on a more minor PC to my main one. It does leave you wondering what the next day will bring sometimes! That’s why, just in my opinion, I like to remove ALL variables, and unseen/undocumented issues that Win-update will likely bring with it. Windows will often….sooner or later, just do odd TeIV, yes…restoring an image (I use Macrium) will surely put that right.

Use the old Windows Boot Manager on a Windows 8 dual boot system.

Windows 10 users can download media from Microsoft instead. If you do have Windows installation media, you can use it to boot from and access the recovery options. The BCD holds important boot-related information including the list of the available operating systems. BCD file corruption or misconfiguration.īoot Configuration Data (BCD) was introduced in Windows Vista by Microsoft.

A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
The Boot Configuration Data file doesn't contain valid information for an operating system.
