Hello everyone,
I have another "boot" situation. I recently restored a Windows 10 image alongside a dual-boot system (Windows 10 Pro and 11 Pro). My goal is to have three bootable OSs. After completing the restoration, I added it to the bootloader using this command from member suatcini54:
That seemed to take, but when I rebooted, nothing happened—just drive activity on my SSD, never actually booting an OS. I tried all three, and they all hung on a blank (black) screen with the SSD activity light active. I was able to fix this by following a video from FreeBooter in post No. 25 of this thread: No Operating System Options at boot. Even though all three OS were acknowledged, only two remained boot and were listed in the Operating System Options. The third one, yes, the restored image, did not make it.
So, that is my current dilemma: I cannot boot into my third OS (Windows 10 Pro). The other two are booting up just fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions or tricks to help resolve this situation?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
tecknot
