    For context:I have two SSDs which were partitioned like:SSD1 - Windows 10512 GBSSD2 - Windows 11 and Ubuntu1 TBToday I wanted to do little rearrangement of giving Ubuntu its own ssd SSD1, with that Windows 10 would be deleted and remove Ubuntu from 1 TB SSD.I started the rearrangement by resizing Windows 11 partition more space thus overriding Ubuntu partition. and this is were it all went wrong. After a few minutes , screen went blank and I restarted my computer after waiting for an hour. Computer now boots in classic windows needs a repair modeerror code: 0x0000225.After that I tried

  2. BCDEdit: The boot configuration store could not be opened

    I am trying to use the BCDEdit command from Windows 10 Boot Media 1803. However, whenever I try to run the command, the following text is returned:

    Code:
    X:\Sources>bcdeditThe boot configuration data store could not be opened.The requested system device cannot be identified due to multiple indistinguishable devices potentially matching the identification criteria.
    When I try to use bootrec /rebuildbcd, I also get the same error. The returned text looks like this:X:\Sources>bootrec /rebulidbcdScanning all disks for Windows installations.
    Please  wait, since this may take a while...
    Successfully scanned Windows installations.Total identified Windows installations: 1[1] D:\WindowsAdd installation to boot list? Yes(Y)/No(N)/All(A):yThe requested system device cannot be identified due to multiple indistinguishable devices potentially matching the identification criteria.
    The reason I am attempting to rebuild the BCD is because whenever I boot my computer, it goes into a boot loop. To escape this boot loop I must press F11 to choose from a list of all available boot devices. However, Windows Boot
     Manager does not show up on this list until the system has rebooted a number of times.

  3. Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information WINDOWS 10

    Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information

    Upon reboot, I ge the following message:
    "Recovery
    Your PC needs to be repaired
    The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.
    File: \BCD
    Error Code: 0x000000d

    You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media, If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer."

    I've followed steps of doing bootrec/rebuildbcd - it says "add installation to boot list? Yes(Y)/No(N)/All(A) - I've tried to select Yes and All but it comes up with the requested system device cannot be found.

    I really don't want to lose my data so any suggestions would be great?

    do you think that's going to rebuild the BCD store issue?
