Here is my system: Asus Z87-A motherboard
16 GB G.Skill RAM
3 TB Seagate drive
256 GB Samsung 840 Evo
(2x) MSI Windforce Radeon R9 270
Windows 8.1 x64
I migrated my OS install from the hard drive to the SSD about 5 months ago. Everything worked well. Then when I went to boot up my PC one day, while starting Windows would hit a BSOD and restart before I could see what the message said, sending my machine into an endless reboot loop.
I selected the hard drive from the BIOS Boot menu, and my 5 month old copy of Windows on the hard drive runs perfectly. I tried to access the SSD, but it was inaccessible through Windows explorer(gave me an error message). I looked in Disk management and the partition is shown as RAW (should be NTFS). I was able to use Recuva to get my files saved to the hard disk, but I couldn't figure out how to preserve the directory structure, so all the files I recovered are in a single directory 😱...
I started up off my Windows DVD and went into the tools section, launched command prompt and ran Chkdsk /f on the drive. The process hangs at 34% through the second stage of checking, every time I try it. I also tried running the Bootrec.exe program with the various options.
Now, the Windows install on the SSD gives me this message:
The Boot Configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains errors. File: \ Boot\BCD Status code: 0xc000000f.
Going to the "Repair your computer" option on the Windows DVD and letting the wizard run does not help anything either.
How can I repair Windows on the SSD? If this isn't possible, can I recover my files again and create proper directories for them? Could this be a hardware problem, where I need to get a warranty replacement for my Samsung SSD?
Thank you.
