Windows 10: Startup in Black Screen Boot Sector missing in System Setup from Windows Update

There were few times of black screen and consequently boot sector was missing from system setup. I did repairs but was asked to reinstall Windows. Reinstallation was done but missing boot sector was recurred again and again, even though, I used WIN11 recovery usb to boot the system and repairs it with DOS commands every time. Today it happened again, and I compared two CBS.log files with a conclusion of the following problems: 2024-07-17 09:02:27, Info CBS TI: Startup Processing completes, release startup processing lock.2024-07-17 09:02:27,

Missing Boot Sector

Hello, I have gotten into some complications with my Windows 10 install with missing a boot sector after performing these steps:-

1. Cloned my Windows installation with Acronis True Image tool from my hard drive to my m.2 SSD

2. Deleted partitions and formatted the hard drive, to be used as storage

3. Result: Missing boot manager error

Is there a way to transplant a working boot sector in my m.2 SSD from either the hard drive or from a bootable USB stick without performing another format and OS install on the drive?

Help would be much appreciated, thank you so much.

 

Windows 7 black screen of death

I read a report a little while ago that said the black screens were nothing to do with updates but due to a malicious program (it hit more than just windows 7 users - vista, xp and 2000 were also prone to the black startup screen of death if infected). My windows 7 install is fully up-to-date and i've never had the black startup screen.

Just run some decent anti virus and you should be safe (i suggest microsoft security essentails since it's free and pretty decent). When you've installed an anti-virus i'd suggest doing a full scen to be sure there's nothing there.
