![Repairing Windows Boot Partition and Boot Files | [Resolved] bootrec fixboot access denied](/img/tr.png)
It still shows access denied , even when I am in the efi\microsoft\boot directory
You have to do this exact command:
bootsect /nt60 all
(note the space between bootsect and the forward slash). Also, I did not have to retry the: bootrec /fixboot.
I simply shut down the PC and rebooted.
I have learned it in a tread in this comment section. The first to shared this made a mistake and forgot to put a space. It worked for me.
Thanks dude
Not working
Thanks a lot ot worked
When do I put that command?
Thank you brother
this video has literally one purpose and fails in it. well done man
lol
use bootsect/nt60 ALL
@@wyattgowing9613 Damnn thx u that really helped omg what the heck
@@FlashDust np glad to help
@@wyattgowing9613 yes it works
Doesn't work. Still getting "Access is denied" after step 14. Followed everything by letter. Including spaces.
Amaaaaazing!!!! Tanks soooo much for this. I pass last 5 hours trying fix a Ssd error and only that's works. Congratulations and thank you. I'm from Brazil.
I came across this just a few minutes ago so although it's old just do the following to fix: BOOTREC /FIXBOOT ACCESS DENIED message. Basically the reason why this one didn't work from what I can work ouot is that you get ACCESS DENIED depending on the format maybe like NTFS? as it does point this out as NTFS file system bootcode though I am not too sure myself, just seems that way from what I have experienced.
1: type at x:sources>bootsect/nt60 sys */just as that and do not worry about no space between /nt60 as it will work. you should get: Target volumes will be updated with BOOTMGR compatible bootcode. V: (\\?\Volume{1a2b3c4d-0000-0000-0000-100000000000}) Successfully updated NTFS filesystem bootcode. Bootcode was successfully updated on all targeted volumes.
2: type at x:sources\>bootrec/fixboot (again do not worry about having a space before /fixboot)
now you should see: The operation completed successfully.
For those who come across this and experience difficulty with keep getting access denied, you also do not need to assign a new letter, just skip all that and just do this.
For the creator Britec09. Please, if you haven't update this as this may work for ALL. skip the diskpart biut and just go straight to this. I was actually doing this on Server 2019 essentials.
Thanks it worked
Thank you brother it worked for me
mate, I love u. I deleted a disk partition that contained Ubuntu and the grub menu didn't show windows boot. After 8 hours, your comment and some microsoft forums can boot windows with all my information, and I'm very happy because I have 48 hours to submit a practice test for a job like my last year in college.
P.D.:Thank to all people that take the time to comment videos like this, you saved my ass so many times
P.D.2: Worst LSD trip. 0/10
Thank you so much, it’s save my NB
You are a saviour,thanks a bunch
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Here's what worked for me. Note that it may depend on version of Windows (10 in my case), on build within that (probably 18362), and on other factors I'm not aware of. This is in a UEFI context
Initially I used bootsect, limited to the drive letter I'd assigned to the boot partition, that is, where "cd /d V:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\" is valid. That may be safer than using "All". Change "V:" to what is valid on your machine.
bootsect /nt60 V:
This responded:
"Updated FAT32 filesystem bootcode. The update may be unreliable since the volume could not be locked during the update: Access is denied.
Bootcode was successfully updated on all targeted volumes."
I added /force (it dismounts the drive and so warns about files that may be open but the risk seemed small in my case):
bootsect /nt60 V: /force
This responded:
"Forced dismount complete, open handles to this volume are now invalid.
Successfully updated FAT32 filesystem bootcode"
After that "bootrec /FixBoot" still responded "Access is denied.", so I just continued to bcdboot, although some sources say it is not necessary:
ren BCD BCD.old
bcdboot c:\Windows /l en-us /s V: /f All
After that, and rebooting, I eventually got the "Repair: Your PC/Device needs to be repaired:", message again, but the option to fix C: was successful and after that Windows booted.
Good luck to you in your journey through this distressing situation!
Golden comment bless you brother

Still getting access denied.
Thank you. This was so helpful in solving my black screen and being able to reinstall windows. I did reverse to Win7 then from there able to download windows 10.

When I type ‘list vol’ C is on volume 2. Volume 1 says ‘Recovery’ under the Label column. Will this procedure still work? Substituting vol 2 where you are using vol 1 in the video?
I did exactly as you said. However, after typing fixboot, the answer from command prompt was still "Access is denied."
What should I do?

I have Windows 10 MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro. I'm currently stuck in the restart loop of the computer. How do I fix the bootrec /fixboot (Access denied)? I have a USB Media USB.
Its been 3 weeks and i cant get any one to make a proper tutorial on how to create a MBR partition for win 10. they are all efi or it is a repair but can some one make a working tutorial on making an MBR partition from scratch?
I followed all the instructions but now I get critical process died error what should I do?
What do I do if I followed this procedure in this video and I still get access denied?
If you guys are coming after deleting some other OS like Linux, I would suggest while on GRUB, you simply type exit and select windows boot and then fix boot when logged in on Windows.
Thanks for this very valuable info! Needed this. Hope you had a nice holiday!
Thanks Paul
i followed all the steps, but i still have access denied, tried bootsect/nt60 all, but it didnt work, what am i supposed to do?

Not working, still access denied...
failure to when attempting to copy boot files
Why do you say windows is on "C"? That looks like system reserved and D has the space as the regular working drive and Windows installation?
Right at 2:27, you should include what to do when "Access is denied" still shows up instead of "...completed successfully." Await your reply. Thank you!

It won't work if I run CHKDSK, and I tried to fix MBR it worked well with partition assistant from Ao mei.

Hi Britec09. On your video at 1:04mins, what is in volume 3? On my computer, I have C (which has windows 10), F (which has my files and folders), D (which is my USB Windows 10 Media Creation tool) and E (which is a hidden file). All the volumes show as HEALTHY. My error code is 0xc000000f. I originally had Windows 7 pro and I upgraded to Windows 10 pro during the free upgrade. Yesterday, I needed to run Windows 7 and so I attached a hard drive copy of Windows 7, without detaching the Windows 10 hard drive. I changed the boot sequence to boot from Windows 7. After finishing my work, I rebooted it from Windows 10 and that was when I got that RECOVERY blue screen with the error message. I did what you did, but I keep getting Accessed Denied. I read that UEFI is used on newer computers and it replaces the BIOS. My computer uses BIOS, but I tried with both bootable drives. Am I getting Access Denied because I am trying to access the Hidden volume?? Any suggestions? Anyone?
For those still getting Access denied try running "bootsect/nt60 all" then try "bootrec /fixboot" again. However that's as far as I have got, I now get "Failure when attempting to copy boot files" on the final step. Any Ideas?
Thanks it work
Bro I love you
Thanks a lot!
Tks u very much
Still cannot boot the problem still exists. And I turned to third party tool it works well. Ao mei's tool.
got past that by running takeown but now fails with access denied on bootrec /fixboot

My problem is bootrec not recognized as an internal command windows 10. Tried this fix but got V not recognised as ... Do you have a fix for this problem please.
Are you all here after the Win10 update? I also still got access denied.
PS: It (access denied) might be because I tried another fix without restarting, and maybe this "bootrec.exe" was open. I confirm that the SrtTrail.txt was open. I didn't try again because when I restarted (before watching this vid, I was deleting a .sys file under System32\drivers\ and closed the cmd and tried "bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd" and "bootrec.exe /fixmbr") my Win10 computer was fixed.

did you boot the usb key in UEFI ?
To anyone who does this procedure and still gets access denied you have to be using 1709 install media and then do the procedure. That is what worked for me anyway. Even if you are on a newer version of windows 10
Could you elaborate? I'm stilling getting access denied and I'm not sure how to use 1709 install media?
You need to use Win 10 v1703 USB Boot Disk to sfc to work.
