[QUOTE="GrantCarelse_777, post: 562600, member: 98784"] Hi, I had a BSOD system crash after applying [B][I]Windows Update[/I][/B] for [B][I]Windows 8.1 Pro[/I][/B] on my [B][I]HP ProBook 4520s[/I][/B] laptop. My system is totally inaccessible, so unable to create a dump of it. Long story short, I've read most of (your) the stuff for [B][I]Windows Recovery (Environment)[/I][/B] but it doesn't apply to me since my [B][I]Windows Install Partition[/I][/B] is [B]NOT[/B] of [B][I]file system type NTFS[/I][/B] but during the system crash was converted somehow to the a [B][I]RAW file system type[/I][/B], so I cannot get any information regarding booting, partition table information etc. etc. I have been able to boot a Win7PE install on the crashed system and I am able to run Startup Repair executable in this environment, where the diagnosis and repair log says: Number of Root Causes = 1 Root cause found: No OS files found on disk Repair action: Partition table repair Result: Failed. Error code = 0x41d Time Taken = 12949 ms I think the take home message that I'm try to get across to you is that the Windows partition is in file system type RAW. So, is there a way to repair my Window partition (e.g. convert it back to NTFS, without losing data...somehow get to the partition table) so that I can save my data and applications? Or is the only option a reinstallation of Win 8.1? I have run a system diagnostic to check the viability of the HDD and was fine. Hope you get the gist! Regards Grant Carelse [/QUOTE]
