Simply download a free 30-day trial of&nbsp;BackupAssist&nbsp;ER, and follow the instructions here:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/er\/documentation\/recover\/creating-lifeline-recovery-media.htm\"><strong>https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/er\/documentation\/recover\/creating-lifeline-recovery-media.htm<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve created your Lifeline Media, you can choose to continue using&nbsp;BackupAssist&nbsp;ER during its trial&nbsp;mode, or&nbsp;uninstall it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2:&nbsp;Confirm your Windows partition is&nbsp;actually visible&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019re in your recovery environment, start a command prompt.&nbsp;Then run&nbsp;diskpart, and list volume, to check that your Windows partition is visible and mounted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see in the screenshot above&nbsp;that&nbsp;I had a Windows installation on the C: drive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3:&nbsp;Run bcdboot.exe to reinstall the boot files&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The magic happens when you execute the&nbsp;bcdboot&nbsp;\/s command. This will copy the Windows boot environment files to your designated boot device. In this example, I chose the C: itself \u2013 in effect, making the C: volume bootable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/rev-705-image-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/rev-705-image-3.jpg\" alt=\"Text\n\nDescription automatically generated\" class=\"wp-image-18174\" width=\"500\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/rev-705-image-3.jpg 783w, https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/rev-705-image-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/rev-705-image-3-768x577.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4:&nbsp;Update your BIOS to boot the correct device&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reboot your machine.
