Hi
Win10 64x
Keeps running repair on boot. In cli diskpart shows the partition as RAW. If I try to change to C: I get the error "the file system is corrupt and cannot be accessed"
If I boot into Fedora, run up a terminal session and install testdisk I am able to list the files on the volume (as can I in the Fedora file explorer)
When I do the Advanced option and repairBS it tells me there is nothing wrong and I can list the files but when I reboot it still doesn't work.
The how to PDF lists this as the things to try:
• Run bootrec.exe /fixmbr from the Recovery Console
• For legacy / PC Intel partition table, check c:\boot.ini content
• For EFI GPT, check the output of bcdedit /v. To modify the settings, use the bcdedit /set command.
• Run bootrec.exe /fixboot to repair NTFS boot sector.

I have no idea how to do this from within Fedora.
It may also be relevant to note that this is a Windows 10 volume running on bootcamp on a Mac.
Thanks in advance

Disclaimer - I don't own a MAC and know bootcamp only by name!

You can use the copy function to recover files to another location - preferably another healthy drive.

Bootrec.exe only runs under Windows and not on Linux. You must be in the Windows environment to run the command. If your Win10 partition is dammaged, you probably have to boot your Win10 installation media and to access the partition from there. As for modifying the file "boot.ini", your Mac may not understand the windows file system used. It could be that the Win10 installation media or the recovery console contains an editor. "bcdedit" is another windows program. The last one, "bootrec.exe" I already referred to at the beginning of my posting.

Thanks for this.
Unfortunately because of lockdown I'm only going into work twice a week. I assume that if I can boot into the repair mode CLI (which does work) I can run these commands from there? If so then that is my next step.
