Clarifications: cd /d for ALL drive letters. If your drive is F do cd /d f:
Second if you want to find which drive that volume is from instead of list volume do list disk. Then you can do select disk 0 and then run detail disk to show the volumes
Thx
Thank you That was exactly the problem i was struggling with!
Thanks bro
THANK YOU BROTHER
Pin this 😢😢
just a quick tip for anyone running into this problem, make sure if you just installed a usb drive or anything of that sort, make sure that your system isn’t trying to boot off that usb that doesn’t have windows on it. it’s worth a shot and that’s probably the issue if you have a usb installed. probably useful to check if you don’t want to spend 30 minutes of your time doing this.:)
you have been very helpful!!!!
I wasted 1 hour understanding how to solve this problem, and I came across your comment and immediately realized that the computer may have indeed rebooting using the attached removable disk.
You are a LIFESAVER, thank you so much!
I'm saved, 😂 thanks mate!
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamnnnnnnnnnnnn , I had a bluetooth adapter and I removed it just in case volaa the next second im on lockscreen
THANKS BUDDY
Absolute legend. Even microsoft support online are useless but you solved the problem in less than 2 mins
Thanks a lot mate!! Just one point which maybe was obvious to you (but not to me :P ) - you need to run the Media Creation Tool (not just copy/paste it onto a USB)
Yes, of course. Sorry, was kind of obvious to me. Will keep that in mind for future videos. 🙂
lol
Thanks dude iwas confused by this too
By the way how do you run it?
@@mohammedhabibsheik797 I also need to know how to run it
I can't say how thankful how I am to find this video. Liked.
You saved the day!
Fixed the issue of the blinking curser on boot, without deleting any files on the computer.
You're a lifesaver man. I'd have no choice but to get my pc into a repair shop and waste my money if it wasn't for this video. Thanks👍
Why doing this does you lose your data
@@AlphaTrident yes
Thanks man. My laptop started having the same problem after I left it in charging for too long. Didn't know what to do and I searched the internet forever until I found your video. Your a life saver man. Thank you very much.
Really amazing..
I search more than 3 years. Just now I found it. Thanks a lot
This was essentially the fix for my system. However, I have multiple hard drives and my boot files also seemed to be corrupted. So, I had to do the following:
> diskpart => list vol => select vol # (replacing # with the volume # of my windows partition) => active => exit;
Followed by:
> g: (setting to drive letter of my USB stick) => cd \boot (now I'm at g:\boot) => bootsect /nt60 f: /force /mbr (f is the drive letter of the partition containing my windows installation) => bcdboot f:\windows /s f: /f all (again, f is the windows partition) => exit
HTH those with more complex disk partitioning etc.
Herbetech, thank you for the helpful video!
so I changed the command to bootsect /nt60 c: /mbr and it worked. Said bootcode updated on all targeted volumes (along with bootcode is only updated on MBR partitioned disks. A different partitioning scheme is used on this disk ; physicalDrive0),but the issue is not fixed. I don't know what I'm missing here.
Also there's a drive f of 42 gb which is written RAW instead of NTFS
I ran the bcdboot command and got failure when attempting to copy boot files.
Wow. You're a frickin God. That worked like a charm. This comment deserves a trillion likes.
@@GLiZ0CK too kind! Glad it helped.
You sir, have been my life saver today! Thanks a zillion for your straight forward, no nonsense tutorial
Massive thanks, this video came to my aid today when my PC got this and nothing else would work. Fortunately I already had a Windows 10 install drive to hand, which sped things up considerably.
The only one issue I had was that command prompt gave me errors saying it couldn't find the USB drive when I followed exactly the commands entered in this video.
Instead of doing "cd /d d:boot" I had to drop the slash and navigate to my USB stick by just doing "cd d" and then once inside it "cd boot".
Otherwise everything worked perfectly and I was back into my PC very quickly.
Can you please elaborate, I've done the same thing and my laptop is still not working 😓
Love you professor. Had no clue how to repair that on my PC, and now everything works! Thank you!
3 years later and still saving lives. Thank you!!
Life saver...Windows repair tool failed, but your command line worked like magic. Nice.
How did it work without repair tool?
Well done, it works!!!!!!
Also note!
bootsect.exe /nt60 C: /mbr , where C is the drive on which your windows sits (not the one from the usb stick)
thankyou so much for the note.. SYS wasn't working for me, but C: did👍🏻
Thank you very much

You legend, SYS didn’t work for me but G: (the drive with my OS installed) worked!
Thank you so fucking much my g. Words cant express how much i wanna thank you and the creator of this video
This video saved me! I was prepared to reinstall the system, before that, I did one last google search and found the video. Thank you very much!
this worked perfectly, my son had done this to his laptop and your exact steps worked fine. Thanks so much. I think he had been shutting his laptop down by always just holding down the power key, instead of doing windows shutdowns
dude, what an elegant solution to one annoying problem, thanks!
Absolute life saver. Clear, concise no BS instructions....exactly what was needed. Thank you Sir.👍

I have to say, you're the man!! this worked like a charm. Thanks IT Guy. I owe you big time.
I LOVE YOU, MAN !!!! This did the trick. My boot error message was a little different after I cloned my old hard drive to an SSD. I was getting a letter J followed by the blinking cursor. Your solution fixed it. So glad to have found your video. Many Thanks !
For 10 videos what i watched, only this halped me and it 100% worked, thank you a lot bro!!
So odd. I had a windows dongle and did this and it didnt work, then i downloaded the tool like you say (which ended up having the exact same bits) and it worked perfectly. Thank you man, didnt think it was gonna be so simple an answer!
Thank you man. I about to try this other way 7 days. So i finally found the way. You are the best. Thanks
Spent about 6 hours with my girlfriend trying to fix this. She did all the work. It didn't work. Until we saw your video. Which was her suggestion. I'm typing this as she's pointing a gun at me. Awsesome video, very helpful and fixed my issue.
Thank you! My dad once asked a great question: “so you need a another PC to fix your broken PC??” They suck like that. I feel bad for people who only have one computer. They live dangerously. So this didn’t work, at first. For bootsect it said it cannot install app screen. Wtf? Googling didn’t help because every solution was through Windows after it started up in it. Crap. Then an old forum for windows 7 got it right. Not “mbr” but “force” instead. If that doesn’t work, change “sys” to “all” and also “force”. That worked!
This worked for me perfectly, because the command in video didn´t work. Repaired Windows 11 installation.
This work for me for only first boot, but when I powered my PC next day, blinking cursor shows again!
What should I do?
i followed everything but it says the system partition was not found on the last part of the instructions please help me fix my pc.
I LOVE YOU. After spending a few hours properly transferring files from one SSD to another I got this issue and had no idea what it was. You just saved my ass in like 30 seconds.
Anyone with the error "System partition not found" on the bootsect.exe step. Try this command
bootsect.exe /nt60 C: /mbr
Replace sys with the drive your windows is installed in (mostly it's C:)
Worked for me. 👍 Let me know if it did for you too
thnks bro.. same situation.. but then? just continie the next step from tht vid, isn't?
edit: 8 Nov 2021; At the end, it doesn't fix the prob.. I fresh install new windows
Thanks a lot, got that same error and it worked perfectly - booting up again!
YES! This worked for me too. Thanks!
Thank you!
I did that and now it says a different part ion scheme used on this disk
I was going to reinstall my OS ,well saved my time and MOST IMPORTANT data!
Bro If ur laptop datas are deleted ? For do this ?
Do you lose everything on your computer??!?!?! I need to know :(
@@oddjhit yes
How can I thank you,sir? Thanks is a very very smal word. I thought I had lost all my data and new windows installation is the only solution. But your video save my valuable data which I couldn't recover in my whole life. You are a true genius and true life saver. I can't express how grateful I am to you. Trillion trillion thanks, sir.
Exactly what I needed, after 24h of a dead pc, it's working again, thank you a lot.
Thank you so much for your video. I haven't had issues like this with my Linux machines, but when my wife's W10 machine did the blinking cursor, I wasn't sure what to do. Diagnostics came up with nothing, but your command line fix did the job.
Thank you once again.
Two thumbs up.
I know it's been a year, but when you didn't this did it erase anything on the drive?
Omg, you really saved me, dude! Amazing. Thx a lot!
Saved you? Whatever
Still saving laptops to this day! Thank you so much!
Another fix I was able to do was just press delete on start up and it will bring you to bios, press the x in the top right of bios, and it will continue your download. The fix above didn’t work for me so I figured I’d mention it. Thank you for the post though.
It just brings me back to the blinking screen
Hey can you help ?
The usb is G for me , but whenever i click it says : the system can't find the path spesificted . What should i do ?
Any fix?
This worked perfectly on my laptop. Thank you so much for making this video. A real lifesaver!
Lifesaver🙄
@@dataram7011 dude what’s your problem
What's yours?
I hope this works for me I've been trying literally everything and im literally just about to go to a pc repair shop or just buy a windows 10 disk
You are a life saver brother ❤❤
I was watching the video and it just randomly booted in 😂
LOL SAME IM FREAKING CUZ MY DAD SAW IT AND THEN IT GET FIXED RANDOMLY LOL 😂😂😂
I owe you one man. This tutorial worked for me on Win 10! Thanks a lot!
This worked! This is like the first time I've fixed anything from cmd prompt. I'm a pc noob tho. Thanks a million
Man I actually love you so much, I was trying to get back into windows for like a hour and half made my life so easy thank you
My USB does the same thing with the black screen and blinking curser
same
I get this error The system partition was not found the request system device cannot be found
This can also be a Hibernate corruption possibly caused by low disk space or a UEFI boot order issue. Try disconnecting all other external or internal drives first leaving just the C:\ boot drive, then in the BIOS make sure to select Windows Boot Manager NOT the 2nd entry listing the actual boot drive (eg. P1), then reboot. Worked for me in like 2 mins.
When i type the command cd /e e:/boot it does not work pls help me
it should be 'cd /d' - you dont change the '/d' to match the drive letter. Only the 'e:/boot' part changes to d e f etc
Ironbuket oooooo u life saver ty so much
@@Ironbuket thank you so much brother
@@Ironbuket YOU SAVED MY FUCKING COMPUTER THANK YOU❤!
Im at the step of entering bootsec.exe but then it say "The System partition was not found: The requested system device cannot be found"
Try this
bootsect.exe /nt60 C: /mbr
Worked for me.
@@SachinMahesh3 thank you
@@SachinMahesh3 Dunno why he used SYS instead of C: but this worked too, thanks!:)
does anyone know what to do when it doesn’t come up with continue?
Thanks this helped; so basically we need to point it to our windows drive (not necessarily C drive).
Fantastic video. I had to slightly modify a couple of steps in order to work but the fix works.
videos like this give youtube its power
I still have the blinking cursor when I boot with the USB. Any suggestions ?
Sameeeee
Same
same here @The IT Guy could you help us somehow? :DDDD
This can also be caused by settings in your bios. If you have messed around with overclocking, this can be the result sometimes. Save your bios profile, revert to a more basic bios profile and see if the problem goes away to confirm.
@@Ironbuket I tried this and it worked like magic
Thanks alot
Thank you so much mate, worked brilliantly 😊
Great tip. Saved me lots of time on a full reinstall that wasn't necessary!
For me it says the requested system device cannot be found
Thank you! With some difference on my Asus Rog, did work. In my case "ALL" instead of "SYS" solved it.
thanks, started to panic when sys didnt work
@@kochosleavemealonegplus4940 Great, glad to know it helped.
ALL worked for me too but it said bootcode was successfully updated on atleast one volume. And the problem still exists.
@@somebodythatyouusedtoknow9126 Check your BIOS: date and hour to be correctly set and Fast Boot disabled.
@@samiRomania thank you for replying. I checked it. date and time are correct and fastboot is disabled.
So basically I managed to turn on my laptop once because I plugged in my phone to it and if i do all of this through my laptop that has the problem instead of USB, does it still work the same way?
WOW!! Thanks you for the clear and easy to follow directions! I've never done computery thingys like this, and you saved me from spending money I don't have to fix my computer!! Much appreciated
After cd /d d:/boot
The system cannot find the path specified. It occurs
My volume list
Volume 0 F CCCOMA_X64F UDF DVD-ROM 5611MB healthy
Volume 1 C NTFS partition 221 GB Healthy
Volume 2 D Ventoy exfat Removable 28 GB healthy
Volume 3 VTOYEFI FAT Removable 32MB Healthy
I had a pc and was about to plug my original tool into the top but I unplugged my controller and for some reason that worked
most likely means your pc was booting from the controller by accident
Thanks very very much you really helped... got in to trouble after i cloned my drive
Did both of your drives work after?
@@lucassommer5448 yes
Yes I just cloned mine as well and ran into this. Going to follow the steps now.
Thank you man! Thought I have lost useful information for good, and just for boot from USB got it fixed! Thanks!
Finally a tutorial that actually works. Thank you so much
Thank You So Much
No way, a verified RUclipsr without any comments or likes?
@@RunnerGameZYTXD he just bought subs
@@TabbyDevelopes oh well that makes sense
Thank you so much, you’re a saviour!! Worked with the first shot. I was about to buy a whole new computer 😅
You joined yt 9 yrs ago wtf😂
@@DEMON-re3zp so? not everybody is 12 years old my man :P
@@santosturmio8189 tod agrees
I mean you could have just wiped the drive if you needed to
A million thanks for you. You saved my life 😅. Nothing that I had done solved the boot problem. Fortunately, i saw your video. This nice method isn't referenced anywhere in the Google search. Thanks again
Great video. Worked perfectly and helped to fix my Dad's laptop! Cheers 🤘
My problem is when i type diskpart it doesnt shoe the letters but some kind of question mark symbol.
U just try this step go to bios setup turn booting orde to from legacy to uefi it will work
Says system partition not found right at the end please help
Same thing happened to me
Same problem can anyone reply?
I just bought new Mobo yesterday and problem occurred just like in the video at first I tried to just reformat my unit again and still end up the same, but thanks to you sir I was able to fix my problem, big salute sir
Thank you so much sir. You saved me from so much trouble.
Thanks, it almost worked.
Doing '>bootsect.exe /nt60 SYS /mbr' returned an error 'The partition was not found: The requested system device could not be found'
Doing instead 'bootsect.exe /nt60 ALL' has resolved it and Windows boots again for now.
Thanks a lot boss you saved my time. ❤❤
Thanks a lot!! You are a life saver.
Can we use a simple pendrive instead of bootable pendrive
Plzzz reply
Lmao no.
Some people who didn't have success may forgot something:
Open the .exe file and create the tool needed whether it is to a usb or dvd.
BEFORE you select USB to boot in the BIOS, you need to create and download the said tool which may take a couple of hours.
Some people are complaining "when i boot into USB, it still does the same thing". Make sure that you do that before you try to boot into USB because if you don't, then it will definitely not work.
As a fellow Dutch guy i say.. Dank voor dit.
Is there any other way so that i can keep all my files
Would this work on a PC that I built?
i just built a pc and im having the same problem, how did you fix it ?
"The system cannot find the path specified" when I attempt to access my usb drive which is letter "E" I used the command "cd /e e:/" (and e:/boot as well) and that's the message I get
Great solution! This fixed my problem with cloning my ssd to hdd. My ssd wouldn't boot but after using the bootable media with your commands, it worked perfectly, thank you!
When I plug in my usb with the windows installation it still shows the blinking screen, maybe its not reading it. How do I fix this
Edit: I fixed it by making another usb windos installation fresh. Maybe the other was broken not sure.
Yeah same here..
Tell me seriously please if it really worked because my windows is crashed and after plugging in my usb i am still experiencing the same thing it shows the blinking cursor screen
@@RDXLeThaLYT Yea it actually worked for me I've had no problems for a month now.
Thanks for the video, unfortunately, it didn’t work for me.
same
Same
same
You really saved my pc just before i was about to bring it to the tech mechanic-
My friend, you have saved me!
Thank you for uploading this quality BSOD Saviour content! 😇
*Literally, I've been down a PC for about 3 weeks now until trying this*
When I type “list volume” the USB doesn’t show up
Watch removable media or your pendrive capacity
It worked! Thank you!
One thing to be aware of is that it will delete all data of that USB flash drive.
THANK YOU..! Worked on our HP laptop. Boots up as it should...
Why don't I have a continue button after closing the command prompt
OMG! This worked perfectly! You've saved my life man. I was screwed if I didn't come across this video 😭
Hey did you have all your data
Thanks dude i watched like 20 videos and your video was the only one that worked thanks
Unfortunately it didn’t work for me. In the BIOS my drive is popping up, and in the boot order, but when I go into command prompt, it doesn’t appear at all. I tried switching things around but no luck. Ended up having to wipe the drive (I didn’t have much on there) but what a shame. I hate having to resort to wiping a drive.
After i selected my bootable pendrive still the blank cursor... ! Any other suggestions you have ?
It says path is not specified after cd /d d:/ boot command plwase help
This is a life saver! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you so much for saving my Dell Latitude E5470 which has exactly the same issue. Almost threw the laptop away until I watched this!
I used to make the last command found an error. So I search for a new command. and work.
"Diskpart"
"Select vol C:" ( vol of your installed windows)
"active"
"exit "
"F: " (go to usb boot )
"CD \boot"
"bootsect /nt60 c: /force /mbr"
"bcdboot C:\Windows /s C: /f ALL "
"exit" (Reboot computer)
but anyway i thank you for a solution from you and made me try to fix it successfully.
you are a wizard man holy hell thank you so much
I like the video, but it would be OK to explain why u choose to use nt60 not nt52, why u chose MBR not UEFi cuz there are people out there using UEFI, few still use MBR, and the other was on the letters, specify when u used d/ d, d being your drive letter, so, u would explain the other "d" why it and its use, nonetheless, t was good, though not not understandable why u did what u did to fix the problem.
Thanks anyway
so I changed the command to bootsect /nt60 c: /mbr and it worked. Said bootcode updated on all targeted volumes (along with bootcode is only updated on MBR partitioned disks. A different partitioning scheme is used on this disk ; physicalDrive0),but the issue is not fixed. I don't know what I'm missing here.
You guy are really Genius! Love you from Bangladesh ❤️❤️❤️
Why didn't this video show me on the top , Omg you are a saviour 👍 keep doing the good Work
