Getting 0xc0000225 error when entering Recovery mode-Win81

Hello,
I think I am having a typical problem that was discussed here many times. When I enter recorevy mode, I get 0xc0000225 with no other comments. I have read everything that I have found on the internets. So far nothing works so I am in desperation. My PC Lenovo x240, SSD.
Tried bootrec with all switches, bcdboot, edited bcd with bcdedit. nothing helped so far. Initially recovery disk didnt have any letters assigned. I thought during my repair that this moment may complicate the things, so I assigned drive D to be recovery disk.
Can please experts take a look at my problem? Attaching are Disk Management screenshot and bcdedit-enum-all log. Thank you a lot.
Best regards,
Pavel.

1) Partition 1 should not have a drive letter.

2) The Recovery/boot partition is the partition after C: partition, as OS has been upgrade to Windows 8.1.

3) The 128mb GPT/MSR partition has been DELETED.

Yes, you are right. I had upgraded win 8.1 from 8.0 some time ago..Recetnly I tried to install diskcryptor, but it made system unbootable. So I recovered it from the bankup image.

Thank you. Will do all the steps and let you know.

Try doing a Auto Repair.

Hello,

Tried to do the following things:

1. Unassigned D: letter so that WinRE drive doesnt have any now.
2. Run MiniTool Partition recovery tool. On full scan it didnt find this 128mb partition, but found a bunch of empty 3mb partitions dated by 2005 which is strange. My pc is new. So I didnt recover them by this utility.
2. Run Recovery 5 times from Win8.1 DVD.

It resulted in no effect. Pressing F11 on boot leads to 0xc0000225 error.

Thanks

Thank you. Will do all the steps and let you know.

Sorry for getting back late. I was waiting for you to try what Theog suggested. Please open the Admin command prompt:
  1. Diskpart
  2. select disk 0
  3. list partition
  4. exit
  5. Then post the result.

I am confused. The information from diskpart is different from the Disk Management screen shot on your first post which includes 128 MB unallocated space. Normally, you can only see this partition from diskpart, not from the disk management. Can you double check ?
if different, can you post the screen shot of the disk management again.

OK. Now it's kind of make sense to me. Let us try from disk management:
  1. Right click on the 128 MB unallocated space->New Simple Volume
  2. let Windows assign to any letter->next->next->finish.
  3. Try to enter the recovery mode again.

Hmmm. Open the Admin command prompt and type: bcdedit /export saveBCD . This will create a backup copy named saveBCD of your current BCD file, put in a zip file then attach it for me. I'd like to take a look and I'll get back to you.

I had created new partition in the prev step with disk manager wizard, so I dont have this 128mb unallocated space anymore (see attached screenshot). Do I have to remove that 128 mb partition in disk manager before running this "create partition msr" command in diskpart that you suggested? Thanks.

diskpart
