Your content is great! Every video should be like this, straight up, no unnecessary explanation, and short videos about complicated things, and well explained tutorial. This is the best tech channel ever. Earned a sub, Rich!
You have right, but i like when explanation is coming but not like some professionnal explain like complicate for show that are very clever and some peopel they repeat just for repeat and they do not know what to do and what they said too, copying, that why i prefer too explaination for see if peopel are truth or not or says a sheet !! iam agrre with for 50 %
See, this is the stuff I have a hard time finding when you need to actually fix a broken Windows installation. Thank you very much! Just replace the bad ones from an image, plain and simple video.
you are such a life saver!!! ran into this problem on my grandmothers computer i built for her. had a recent windows update fail and corrupted it soooo bad it wouldnt boot and starup repair just laughed at it. i knew how to run it on a local machine but couldnt find the information on how to run it from a recovery usb in a clear concise way. awesome job
As an IT tech in the past, I used to use the prospect of reloading Windows as a pain point for my regular users who professionally destroyed their machines over and over. " Sorry, but looks like we're gonna have to start over...again" serves as a great learning experience for people who refuse to listen to your directions over and over on how to keep their machines running smoothly. With that being said, I eventually would allow to them that there is a way to repair windows fairly reliably after they had their collective heart attacks at the prospect of losing their data , but say " DONT DO THAT AGAIN!" . At any rate, I am glad DISM and SFC work like theyre supposed to.
Customers that regularly trash their systems is just more money for me. I don't mind fixing the same or similar problem over and over again. If a customer doesn't listen they just have to pay me again to fix it. It all pays the same, doesn't bother me at all.
I want to thank you for these videos! I am CompTIA A+ certified, and there is ZERO reference to this valuable info! You da man! oh, and a company i worked for had a policy of reimaging drives rather than troubleshooting the computer.... must not have seen your videos! lol
I came across your videos a couple of weeks ago. I took your tips on how to deal with the 100% Disk problem and they worked great. I'm interested in using the two tools you mentioned in part one of this series. My question is: will those tools work effectively if the window search service is disabled? I disabled that service to lower my disk usage? I subscribed and I am still reviewing your older videos for helpful tips. You do a great job making these things seem simple which I know are not that simple.
I rarely comment but took this extra step to say this is a very useful video very nicely explained that helped solve my windows issue which wasn't booting, I am extremely thrilled and thankful and appreciate the knowledge sharing!
Excellent! I've made your tutorials required viewing for our techs. I'm fed up with hiring computer science graduates that only know how to code in various languages but know shit when it comes to repairing Windows. The academic curriculum is severely lacking.
Thanks for this video and the last one also. Have noted down all the command. In the future when I have a Windows that fails to boot, I can "try" to fix it. Recently, I migrated a Windows 7 on a Asrock Z68 Pro3 with RAID1 configuration (one drive hardware failing) to a non-RAID SSD drive using MiniTool Partition Wizard - Migrate OS to SSD. That ended with error BlInitializeLibrary failed 0xc0000001 at boot. After many hours of trial and error, I was able to fix it with DISM++ (found on Sergei Strelec Boot CD/USB) - Toolkit - Bootmgr repair. Thereafter upgraded to Windows 10.
Thanks for your videos. I did the reinstall windows many times. I'm downloading some of your videos onto my tablet so I can see watch the instruction incase I need it as there is no way I would remember them.
Instead of reloading Windows, I just built a new machine. I had the parts laying around and was due for an upgrade anyway. I'll try giving this a shot since I didn't nuke my old rig's drives. Maybe this'll stop my old "nuke it" habits. Thanks for the knowledge!
Great in depth tutorial !! Just one question - does it work if the files on the USB are newer than the offline drive? So for example the unbootable system has Winbdows 21H2 but the downloaded ISO is windows 22H2 ?
god damnit! i could´ve used this 2 or 3 years ago i think...some day i just absolutely couldnt get into my windows installation anymore....my brother is pretty good with computers, but i dont know if he tried to do what you did, or if he even found any tutorial for this kind of way to repair it...if this ever happens again, i´ll definetly try to use your video! great work!
Thanks for the videos!! I think it would help if you started the video with a screenshot of the error message as to why it won't boot so you know which repair to try.

Turning registry backup back on ( See ruclips.net/video/eY76UVXxENo/видео.html ) of course, but should I use the windows scan disk tool in properties? Should I optimize my SSDs? Create a recovery point? Anything special I should back up to a USB drive to make recovery easier?
your videos are very usefull realy .....and explain good.....and how you explain it even i am not good in english !!! thnak you, some peopl, you give us a very confortable to do it. thnak you a lot off !!!!
awesome video - finally someone that can explain the basics of this function - that said any suggestions when a message pops up to say DISM does not support a Windows Vista or earlier operating system. Thing is I have a Windows 10 I am trying to fix that is from 2022 and the iso image is 2023/4. I followed everything you had shared getting all the drive letters correct. I have to recover my system offline using a recovery disk - woke up next day with my computer unable to boot. I use UEFI to boot and I checked the EFI boot files etc and that is all in order now.
Hi, great video I've used these tools before from others descriptions, but you explain it all way clearer. Unfortunately no bueno for me... I have the same windows version, exactly the same dism version and all I get in dism is "error 87: the cleanup-image option is unknown". Sfc gives me: Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service. Can I do anything else to save this Windows 10?
Very useful! Thank for the effort. The $64 question for me and the one I couldn't solve for almost a year and I hope you ir someone here has the knowledge regarding that. The problem is my recovery cannot see any of my drives at all. Though Windows is running flawlessly. I do regular updates when they don't have problems. The system is 4 years old the hardware is almost one year old . 13 Gen CPU with Z690 MB. This is driving me crazy lol. If i took my NVMe and plugged it in my nephew's PC (6600x CPU and b560 MB), the recovery works perfectly. One more thing is that I have to make my recovery drive visible otherwise I cannot even go to recovery environment which is weird.
Just got it fixed few days ago, It turned out you have to disable Intel Rapid Storage Technology in BIOS. Then recovery environment will see all your drives
I tend to use the chkdsk command with this to fix a lot of issues with friends and families Pc and it’s been a good combo fixing boot problems and windows problems….
I've been a tech for years and never knew how to properly use sfc BTW I would use diskpart to list the disks to find out which drive is which or open regedit and export a key so you can get the dialog box that shows you drives...
Never had to do this at all on Windows 7 and 8/8.1 as those OSes were super reliable and rarely needed repair but Windows 10 is a completely different story, in corporate environments we just wipe and load if the OS usually Windows 10 is corrupted. Alternatively the windows install USB does have another option called Refresh this PC which is less time consuming and does the same thing.
Wish you had this up earlier lol but fortunately I had a full clone backup of my laptop so was able to restore my laptop from that once I remember I had it... 4hrs later lol ugh...
CHKDSK command also helps you find disk-related errors and fixes them automatically. If DISM was stuck at a certain point, a corrupt disk could be a reason. That is why it is recommended to run the CHKDSK tool to get rid of this issue. Although there are so many chkdsk parameters, you need to use /f and /r parameters only. In other words, the command will look like this: chkdsk c: /r.
So like the motherboard manufacture instructions or whatever are they supposed to be in the box? I bought my laptop like 5 years ago… i have no idea where that is… is there a place online where you can find that info?
Hi I've been having these issues on 2 computers i tried everything you've pointed out. I Had no issues going step by step but when i restart computer still doesn't boot into windows??? Ive tried everything and nothing seems to help i just get the recovery screen loop. What am i doing wrong?
I'm here because Windows 11 screwed up after an update restart. It's a shame that Microsoft does such a terrible job with its updates that its customers have to be terrified every time they get notifications to restart to install updates.
@@aya.el1001 No, still an issue. I have done two subsequent update installations and my screen goes into a perpetual flashing state after the update - unusable. Then I had to uninstall the update only to have Windows bug me with a new message that my computer needs an update. So frustrating.
I swear! Those updates are such a mess and whatever how many times you reschedule it to not do the updates one day u will find out the system did it by itself and then start the problems 💀…
I am having a problem with a windows update KB5025221not installing and it is keeping other updates from installing. I ran the Dism restorehealth command as per the previous video but got the following error DISM fails The source file could not be downloaded.
I think to myself what if Windows not booting? after watching your first video. today saw your 2nd vid :D thanks a lot for the answer. like to ask - do we need the exact version of Windows? i hv Windows 10 Pro on my usb, but most of my friends hv Home version. will it work?
Home/pro doesn't matter. All Windows install USBs will have home and Pro. The correct build of Windows would be a good idea. However, not all files change in every build, so a different build isn't a deal breaker. It might work still.
Hey so far its a great video but for some reason I don't see that Install.esd file or install.win , I do see at the very bottom a files called install.swm and it's basically the biggest file in the sources folder. Could this maybe be it?
Hey there, I love watching your vids, I'm still on WinX and I have all of a sudden started having this problem and I am going to ask if you could possibly do a video on my problem, I used to be able to put my pc to sleep by hitting the sleep button on my pc, no problem with that, it still does that but it just won't wake up properly, my pc whirrs back to life but monitor stays dark for absolutely ages, so I thought I'd by-pass that and set my sleep button to hibernate instead, but then I get the blue screen, your pc has encountered a problem, So I would love to know if you know what has gone wrong, only started a few weeks back, until then I never had a problem. Thanks in advance.
My system won’t boot and I ran the original dsm command without needing the scratch directory. The scan worked and recovery was successful. But my system still won’t boot into windows
Most of my windows boot problems were hardware issues… like rams and HDDs but unfortunately i had to go through all the software diagnostics and possible fixes before realizing it was damaged hardware.. i think windows is developing a habit of destroying your memory with every release…. I have a drawer in my office full of pc and laptop RAMs also my humble advice for anyone using hdds .. clone your boot drive once every month or two onto an ssd or a spare drive ..
My question is can I fix my boot from my backup hard drive so that my main drive can be fixed by the win. 10 repair disk in my CD? My main hard drive is stuck on the "choose your keyboard layout" it goes right to this screen and my keyboard and mouse are dead. I cannot access anything. My F keys do not work nor my Del, or Esc. so I cannot get in to bios even at start up. I can however unplug the main hard drive, boot up with my backup drive and at least get to the windows install/repair which will allow me to get to the CMD screen. is there a way to change my boot order so my main drive can access the install/fix CD?
I had to do this just last week because I deleted a boot partition that was showing as an extra boot device in my Bios but only when the bios was in easy mode which was weird. In a program called "Easy EFUI" it was listed as hidden and I made sure it was the one I didn't need but when I deleted it bam my windows would no longer boot. I did not know about this video back then but when I made the recovery thumb drive and tried to do the start up repair as well as SFC and it failed and gave me an BSOD error that said could not fix disk or something and then gave some generic exception code. I eventually and I still don't really know how I did it used diskpart to rebuild the MBR I think, and even getting a few errors on the steps I followed from the internet, I somehow magically managed to get it fix lol. I think I did the same steps as in the video but in a different way?🤷♂ Anyhow I'm back up and running again and have once again learned never to mess with partitions at least not to delete any when I don't really know what I'm doing. I am glad though I did have enough primitive knowledge to at least fix it and the best part is the extra boot device no longer shows up in my bios as an option, was quite along day though. LOL
What can I do if there is no cursor on the screen after inserting the USB stick with the Windows mediacreationtool into the defective Windows laptop? Do you have any advice?
1. Is this process called "imaging" when IT technicians say they have to re-image the machine? 2. Do I have to back-up my personal files and data before running these tools? Does it affect my personal files and data in the same partition?
Hey Yo! Per your video "Water Cooling a mid-range Graphics Card" It's too late, I spent $589 on an ASUS RTX3060 Ti. It works great, but when I'm streaming/gaming it gets 82c and I am thinking maybe an extra $200 for a kit would serve me well; taking off 30c temp. Lession I learned: The future of gaming needs more than 8GB VRAM. I'm Resigned to 1080p/ultra, but I think I can add value by by stabilizing my RTX temps. What do you think? I would've posted on your other video, but comments were limited 😂
I run most games on my 3060 at 3440x1440 to match my ultra wide. I'm very happy with the water block. It was definitely worth it. However, it's hard to find water blocks for mid-range GPUs. Most manufacturers don't make them. Not sure what you mean by comments being limited.
@@CyberCPU I've never water cooled my system before, and I wonder if it would be a weird change. What happens if I forget to turn my pump on, or I forget to top off my water reservoir? Wouldn't that spell disaster for the expensive GPU? Kinda scary for me to think about ;) It wouldn't let me post a comment on your other video for whatever reason. 🤷♂️ Anyway, thanks for your response 💯
@@DaKloneLiving That's weird that it wouldn't let you comment on the other video. I'm not sure why. When you water-cool a system the pump and everything comes on with the power button just like your air cooler. If done properly with high quality parts it should be fine. It takes a LONG time for water to evaporate from the reservoir. My main system was flushed and topped off well over a year ago and I haven't touched it. It runs every day. No problems.
Can this create the boot partition on the correct drive? There is a bug that never gets fixed. My EFI partition is on the wrong drive leading me to have it and its Malware (OEM Windows 10 SSD) in the second M.2 slot.
Thank you for this video. Unfortunately, I run into this error response when I try to run the DISM: "Error 87 The /Image option that is specified points to a running Windows installation. To service the running operation system, use the /Online option" What am I doing wrong?
I get: Deployment Image service and management tool: Error: 433 Unable to access the image. Make sure that the image path and the windows directory for the image exist and you have read permissions on the folder.
Doesn't seem to work with Win11 Insider Build 10.0.22621. I opted out of being an "Insider" and cant get the iso for it now. Having the latest version comes with a few major drawbacks.
Hi Rich thanks for this, just like you that DO IT RIGHT & make a difference by sharing knowledge I love doing the same in my field Architecture & BIM too because I have seen we get it all back. Over years I've learned a lot from willing "teachers" to be able to help yourself where no help is available. Today I'm stuck and hope you have advice for me or point me in the right direction? I've been hunting all over for a solution for a Dynamic (Invalid) Disk issue & not even my IT guru can help. My problem is the following: - I am upgrading my laptop main C drive for a much needed larger one. - The old 500GB M.2 SSD drive with Windows 11 & my software works perfectly when inside the laptop but it is too small. - I installed the new 1TB M.2 SSD drive + Windows 11 to the laptop & are setting up my software again. - When I put the old 500GB drive into the USB-Type C enclosure, the Disk Manager shows the disk is a Dynamic Disk and the status is "Invalid". - So I can not read the drive in Windows to access some software configuration backups and my project files. I am switch over gradually to the new drive. It takes a long time to set up all my software. So I am running work on the old drive till the new drive software is complete to keep project work up to date before the final switch to the new drive. How can I convert old Dynamic (Invalid) Disks into a Basic Disk without Loss of Data and (important) keep the Windows on it bootable during this transition?
Hello, Something i did not understand about a directory about "temp" ? why you delete it and creat it and after execute the commande with scratch with temp directory ? between 7:23 and 8:01,
I forgot to delete the temp directory before filming the video and I wanted to show how to use the command to make a directory. Since the directory was already there, I showed how to remove it so that I could show how to create it.
@@CyberCPU Ok i understand, what does it mean scratchdir, it s need a temp file for resole the error message before, and you make a directory with md temp, and target it on the comand with scratch dir and no message error !!; is that information i did not had before, or maybe may english it s so bad and i did not understand id you said it on vidéo, sorry !
Thanks, I wish I had this tutorial before. 'Cause, I usually use _chkdsk_ commands to fix my drive or partitions inside the recovery, and most of the time it would fix the problems but it would take a lot longer, my last resort would be either *reset this pc* or reinstalling windows. I use it if I'm stuck on startup or loading screen due to sudden power outages or drive bad sectors.
Hey CyberCPU...I have an issue with my Windows PC, where it shows a screen stating Boot Devince nOt Found...I cant get to the Command prompt to try to rebuild the partition. What can I do? Please help.
Hi can I do the same with my windows 7 ? Also my 2 Hard disk are set as dynamic I have taken My hard drive out from pc and tried to check my data with the enclosure. But it does not show me any data there Would really appreciate your help Thanks Habib
Hello Sir, thx for the videos and help! I just upgraded to Windows 10 from 7 and had some issues with updating and blue screen crashing from KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED ,figured that out. Now for some reason, the BIOS menu loads upon restarting but will not load and let me in. Can't spam f2 or del it just laughs back at me,lol. I dropped it off at the PC store locally and I stopped by today after they called me to say my pc was ready, when I get there he goes to show me how it is working fine now and it freezes on that bios logo for him too, hehe. Arghhh. I'll check again tomorrow to see if they figured it out. Thing is, I can't afford 55 dollars an hour to have them hand me a crazy bill that makes me wish I'd just bought a new computer! So I'm asking here, you seem pretty cool so I figured I'd try, Thx for Anybody's reply/help!!! Thank YOU
I went thought all the steps and I got Thea same results as you but I got a black screen after pressing go back to windows. I have install a new ram block and my pc as gone black on me
Not sure if it's newer media or what, but where the new installation media is concerned, the 32 and 64 bit versions are separated and just to confuse the new to the game, M$ have made the folder x86 and x64 which is not new, but the x86\install.wim is as expected however the x64\install.swm and x64\install2.swm files may not be. Not sure why there are 2 files for the 64bit version, nor why the extension was changed, as the wim files are not present for my install media in the x64 folders, unless it's some sort of chaining scheme where the x86 is used and the x64 is auto called by the code and the user is not meant to play a part ( M$ often tries to be too clever for its own good, or ours ). The second file is smaller, but the two together may have been to big as a single file, where as the one .wim file demo'd in this video just fit, not sure. Anyway figured I'd share my own findings in the case it was helpful to others. But I ain't one to gossip... .
I can’t get any of the recovery stuff to work at all. Everytime I lose power my computer refused to load windows. I’ve tried every fix available online and none of it works. I’ve reformatted the drive, and done a fresh install about 5 times but everytime I try and restart it gets stuck on the motherboard loading screen. I’ve tried several hard drives, moved the hard drive to a separate pc and it worked ok but refuses to work on my pc.

I've been a tech for years and never knew how to properly use sfc
BTW I would use diskpart to list the disks to find out which drive is which or open regedit and export a key so you can get the dialog box that shows you drives...
Never had to do this at all on Windows 7 and 8/8.1 as those OSes were super reliable and rarely needed repair but Windows 10 is a completely different story, in corporate environments we just wipe and load if the OS usually Windows 10 is corrupted. Alternatively the windows install USB does have another option called Refresh this PC which is less time consuming and does the same thing.
Wish you had this up earlier lol but fortunately I had a full clone backup of my laptop so was able to restore my laptop from that once I remember I had it... 4hrs later lol ugh...
this shipped today..so should be here in a few days...
MSI Aegis ZS R7-5700G 1TB Desktop Tower (RX 6600XT/16GB/1TB/Win 11H)...can't wait😊
Cool btw how did you capture the recovery mode since obs doesn't record when the PC is off
Capture card
CHKDSK command also helps you find disk-related errors and fixes them automatically. If DISM was stuck at a certain point, a corrupt disk could be a reason. That is why it is recommended to run the CHKDSK tool to get rid of this issue.
Although there are so many chkdsk parameters, you need to use /f and /r parameters only. In other words, the command will look like this: chkdsk c: /r.
So like the motherboard manufacture instructions or whatever are they supposed to be in the box? I bought my laptop like 5 years ago… i have no idea where that is… is there a place online where you can find that info?
Hi I've been having these issues on 2 computers i tried everything you've pointed out. I Had no issues going step by step but when i restart computer still doesn't boot into windows??? Ive tried everything and nothing seems to help i just get the recovery screen loop. What am i doing wrong?
I'm here because Windows 11 screwed up after an update restart. It's a shame that Microsoft does such a terrible job with its updates that its customers have to be terrified every time they get notifications to restart to install updates.
Same problem here
Did u fix it how plz I have same prob
@@aya.el1001 No, still an issue. I have done two subsequent update installations and my screen goes into a perpetual flashing state after the update - unusable. Then I had to uninstall the update only to have Windows bug me with a new message that my computer needs an update. So frustrating.
I swear!
Those updates are such a mess and whatever how many times you reschedule it to not do the updates one day u will find out the system did it by itself and then start the problems 💀…
I am having a problem with a windows update KB5025221not installing and it is keeping other updates from installing. I ran the Dism restorehealth command as per the previous video but got the following error DISM fails The source file could not be downloaded.
'thx by the way, for sharen this...
You're welcome.
I think to myself what if Windows not booting? after watching your first video. today saw your 2nd vid :D thanks a lot for the answer. like to ask - do we need the exact version of Windows? i hv Windows 10 Pro on my usb, but most of my friends hv Home version. will it work?
Home/pro doesn't matter. All Windows install USBs will have home and Pro. The correct build of Windows would be a good idea. However, not all files change in every build, so a different build isn't a deal breaker. It might work still.
Hey so far its a great video but for some reason I don't see that Install.esd file or install.win , I do see at the very bottom a files called install.swm and it's basically the biggest file in the sources folder. Could this maybe be it?
Hey there, I love watching your vids, I'm still on WinX and I have all of a sudden started having this problem and I am going to ask if you could possibly do a video on my problem, I used to be able to put my pc to sleep by hitting the sleep button on my pc, no problem with that, it still does that but it just won't wake up properly, my pc whirrs back to life but monitor stays dark for absolutely ages, so I thought I'd by-pass that and set my sleep button to hibernate instead, but then I get the blue screen, your pc has encountered a problem, So I would love to know if you know what has gone wrong, only started a few weeks back, until then I never had a problem. Thanks in advance.
My system won’t boot and I ran the original dsm command without needing the scratch directory.
The scan worked and recovery was successful.
But my system still won’t boot into windows
Most of my windows boot problems were hardware issues… like rams and HDDs but unfortunately i had to go through all the software diagnostics and possible fixes before realizing it was damaged hardware..
i think windows is developing a habit of destroying your memory with every release…. I have a drawer in my office full of pc and laptop RAMs
also my humble advice for anyone using hdds .. clone your boot drive once every month or two onto an ssd or a spare drive ..
My question is can I fix my boot from my backup hard drive so that my main drive can be fixed by the win. 10 repair disk in my CD? My main hard drive is stuck on the "choose your keyboard layout" it goes right to this screen and my keyboard and mouse are dead. I cannot access anything. My F keys do not work nor my Del, or Esc. so I cannot get in to bios even at start up. I can however unplug the main hard drive, boot up with my backup drive and at least get to the windows install/repair which will allow me to get to the CMD screen. is there a way to change my boot order so my main drive can access the install/fix CD?
Not finding boot drive.
c: drive shows up as usb drive and d: shows (the system cannot find the drive specified
Hi, how would I go about it if it tells me Error: 2
Unable to access image
Thank you for your help!
I had to do this just last week because I deleted a boot partition that was showing as an extra boot device in my Bios but only when the bios was in easy mode which was weird. In a program called "Easy EFUI" it was listed as hidden and I made sure it was the one I didn't need but when I deleted it bam my windows would no longer boot. I did not know about this video back then but when I made the recovery thumb drive and tried to do the start up repair as well as SFC and it failed and gave me an BSOD error that said could not fix disk or something and then gave some generic exception code. I eventually and I still don't really know how I did it used diskpart to rebuild the MBR I think, and even getting a few errors on the steps I followed from the internet, I somehow magically managed to get it fix lol. I think I did the same steps as in the video but in a different way?🤷♂ Anyhow I'm back up and running again and have once again learned never to mess with partitions at least not to delete any when I don't really know what I'm doing. I am glad though I did have enough primitive knowledge to at least fix it and the best part is the extra boot device no longer shows up in my bios as an option, was quite along day though. LOL
What can I do if there is no cursor on the screen after inserting the USB stick with the Windows mediacreationtool into the defective Windows laptop? Do you have any advice?
1. Is this process called "imaging" when IT technicians say they have to re-image the machine?
2. Do I have to back-up my personal files and data before running these tools? Does it affect my personal files and data in the same partition?
Hey Yo!
Per your video "Water Cooling a mid-range Graphics Card"
It's too late, I spent $589 on an ASUS RTX3060 Ti.
It works great, but when I'm streaming/gaming it gets 82c and I am thinking maybe an extra $200 for a kit would serve me well; taking off 30c temp.
Lession I learned: The future of gaming needs more than 8GB VRAM. I'm Resigned to 1080p/ultra, but I think I can add value by by stabilizing my RTX temps.
What do you think?
I would've posted on your other video, but comments were limited 😂
I run most games on my 3060 at 3440x1440 to match my ultra wide.
I'm very happy with the water block. It was definitely worth it. However, it's hard to find water blocks for mid-range GPUs. Most manufacturers don't make them.
Not sure what you mean by comments being limited.
@@CyberCPU I've never water cooled my system before, and I wonder if it would be a weird change.
What happens if I forget to turn my pump on, or I forget to top off my water reservoir? Wouldn't that spell disaster for the expensive GPU?
Kinda scary for me to think about ;)
It wouldn't let me post a comment on your other video for whatever reason. 🤷♂️
Anyway, thanks for your response 💯
@@DaKloneLiving That's weird that it wouldn't let you comment on the other video. I'm not sure why.
When you water-cool a system the pump and everything comes on with the power button just like your air cooler. If done properly with high quality parts it should be fine. It takes a LONG time for water to evaporate from the reservoir. My main system was flushed and topped off well over a year ago and I haven't touched it. It runs every day. No problems.
Can this create the boot partition on the correct drive? There is a bug that never gets fixed. My EFI partition is on the wrong drive leading me to have it and its Malware (OEM Windows 10 SSD) in the second M.2 slot.
Thank you for this video. Unfortunately, I run into this error response when I try to run the DISM:
"Error 87
The /Image option that is specified points to a running Windows installation. To service the running operation system, use the /Online option"
What am I doing wrong?
You either typed it in wrong or, like me, used ventoy from a Linux machine to load the ISO, therefore no accessible cleanup files/image
What do we do if the C: drive is actually the boot drive? Doesn’t look like I can actually see my hard drive after booting from USB
Grwat video do you have the commad listed some where as when i pause the video youtube controls are in the way?
I'll put them in the description. Give me a few minutes. 😉
Hello, my ssd drive is not showing up at all even though I have it correctly plugged into my motherboard. What should I do?
I get:
Deployment Image service and management tool:
Error: 433
Unable to access the image. Make sure that the image path and the windows directory for the image exist and you have read permissions on the folder.
For both windows image and boot flash image the dism tool says 'error 2 unable to access the image'. What do I do?
I haVe a problem that my windows 10 home will only allow admin mode when booted in safemode.
Is DISM going to be able to solve that problem?
Hi, Like many others nobody tells you what to do like I got error:1009 so I can’t continue, still can’t boot win10 but thanks for the help.
Doesn't seem to work with Win11 Insider Build 10.0.22621. I opted out of being an "Insider" and cant get the iso for it now. Having the latest version comes with a few major drawbacks.
Dism doesn't work in winRE. Error 800f0801.
Hi Rich thanks for this, just like you that DO IT RIGHT & make a difference by sharing knowledge I love doing the same in my field Architecture & BIM too because I have seen we get it all back. Over years I've learned a lot from willing "teachers" to be able to help yourself where no help is available. Today I'm stuck and hope you have advice for me or point me in the right direction?
I've been hunting all over for a solution for a Dynamic (Invalid) Disk issue & not even my IT guru can help. My problem is the following:
- I am upgrading my laptop main C drive for a much needed larger one.
- The old 500GB M.2 SSD drive with Windows 11 & my software works perfectly when inside the laptop but it is too small.
- I installed the new 1TB M.2 SSD drive + Windows 11 to the laptop & are setting up my software again.
- When I put the old 500GB drive into the USB-Type C enclosure, the Disk Manager shows the disk is a Dynamic Disk and the status is "Invalid".
- So I can not read the drive in Windows to access some software configuration backups and my project files.
I am switch over gradually to the new drive. It takes a long time to set up all my software.
So I am running work on the old drive till the new drive software is complete to keep project work up to date before the final switch to the new drive.
How can I convert old Dynamic (Invalid) Disks into a Basic Disk without Loss of Data and (important) keep the Windows on it bootable during this transition?
does this work on a fully new pc too? that does not have windows installed yet??
I'm still getting an error *The source files could not be found" even after I specify the /source on the usb drive. Is it too corrupt to fix?
How much size do you need on the usb to do this. Does 6gb work.
Hello, Something i did not understand about a directory about "temp" ? why you delete it and creat it and after execute the commande with scratch with temp directory ? between 7:23 and 8:01,
I forgot to delete the temp directory before filming the video and I wanted to show how to use the command to make a directory. Since the directory was already there, I showed how to remove it so that I could show how to create it.
@@CyberCPU Ok i understand, what does it mean scratchdir, it s need a temp file for resole the error message before, and you make a directory with md temp, and target it on the comand with scratch dir and no message error !!; is that information i did not had before, or maybe may english it s so bad and i did not understand id you said it on vidéo, sorry !
Thanks, I wish I had this tutorial before. 'Cause, I usually use _chkdsk_ commands to fix my drive or partitions inside the recovery, and most of the time it would fix the problems but it would take a lot longer, my last resort would be either *reset this pc* or reinstalling windows. I use it if I'm stuck on startup or loading screen due to sudden power outages or drive bad sectors.
Glad it helped.
After installing a new CPU (5600x) I can’t even boot up windows on the flash drive! Not sure if anything happened in the bios.
Hey CyberCPU...I have an issue with my Windows PC, where it shows a screen stating Boot Devince nOt Found...I cant get to the Command prompt to try to rebuild the partition. What can I do? Please help.
When I run dism it always returns Error: 0x800f0801. Dism Failed. No operation was performed. What now??
Any idea this can be done win 11 as there's no install file
What should I do if I didt backup with a usb before my pc dies
Your videos are great. Unfortunately for me there is no install.esd or install.wim on my windows install usb.
Just look for the biggest file in the sources directory.
Hi can I do the same with my windows 7 ?
Also my 2 Hard disk are set as dynamic
I have taken My hard drive out from pc and tried to check my data with the enclosure. But it does not show me any data there
Would really appreciate your help
Thanks

Hello Sir, thx for the videos and help! I just upgraded to Windows 10 from 7 and had some issues with updating and blue screen crashing from KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED ,figured that out. Now for some reason, the BIOS menu loads upon restarting but will not load and let me in. Can't spam f2 or del it just laughs back at me,lol. I dropped it off at the PC store locally and I stopped by today after they called me to say my pc was ready, when I get there he goes to show me how it is working fine now and it freezes on that bios logo for him too, hehe. Arghhh. I'll check again tomorrow to see if they figured it out. Thing is, I can't afford 55 dollars an hour to have them hand me a crazy bill that makes me wish I'd just bought a new computer! So I'm asking here, you seem pretty cool so I figured I'd try, Thx for Anybody's reply/help!!! Thank YOU
I get The restore operation failed. Either the repair source was not found or the component store cannot be repaired. "version 10.0.19041.3570"
I went thought all the steps and I got Thea same results as you but I got a black screen after pressing go back to windows. I have install a new ram block and my pc as gone black on me
Not sure if it's newer media or what, but where the new installation media is concerned, the 32 and 64 bit versions are separated and just to confuse the new to the game, M$ have made the folder x86 and x64 which is not new, but the x86\install.wim is as expected however the x64\install.swm and x64\install2.swm files may not be.
Not sure why there are 2 files for the 64bit version, nor why the extension was changed, as the wim files are not present for my install media in the x64 folders, unless it's some sort of chaining scheme where the x86 is used and the x64 is auto called by the code and the user is not meant to play a part ( M$ often tries to be too clever for its own good, or ours ). The second file is smaller, but the two together may have been to big as a single file, where as the one .wim file demo'd in this video just fit, not sure. Anyway figured I'd share my own findings in the case it was helpful to others.
But I ain't one to gossip... .
I can’t get any of the recovery stuff to work at all. Everytime I lose power my computer refused to load windows. I’ve tried every fix available online and none of it works. I’ve reformatted the drive, and done a fresh install about 5 times but everytime I try and restart it gets stuck on the motherboard loading screen. I’ve tried several hard drives, moved the hard drive to a separate pc and it worked ok but refuses to work on my pc.
