| Summary | 0004378: Error in BOOT/BCD after I installed Kali Linux alongside with Windows 10 | ||||
| Description | I am new to Linux. I tried it and I loved it so I decided to install one. I went for Kali Linux. I installed 64 bit version 2017.3 as per the installation guide described in this document. https://docs.kali.org/installation/dual-boot-kali-with-windows So When I finished, I started my PC and boot options appeared. I Chose Kali Linux but it did not let me in. An error occurred, no root directories etc. I clearly remember that, I have configured root, swap and other directories. I then switched to my Windows and this message appeared on windows screen. "Your PC ran into a problem" I also tried to fix Booting with BOOTREC/Fix Boot, DISKPART , but this resulted in errors as well. Major problem is that, no repairing option is reading my Hard Drive. Below is the errors of the commands, I tried. bootrec /scanos Total Identified Windows Installation : 0 bootrec /fixboot this volume does not contain a recognized file system. When I tried to install another windows from the CD in order to install a new windows because the previous was not working, the list of drives did not appear in the list. I have tried different methods, but this is not working. Major, Issue is that, no recovery option is reading my hard drive. BCD is damaged. FYI, Neither Kali nor Windows worked fine after the Kali Linux Installation. This is a very serious issue. Kindly provide solution ASAP | ||||
