How To Fix Windows Installation Errors From Command Line
To fix Windows installation errors from the command line, you can try the following steps:
Method 1: Check for UEFI Firmware Issues
- Boot into your computer with a non-UEFI boot media (e.g., USB drive or CD/DVD).
- Enter the BIOS setup by pressing F2, F12, or Del repeatedly.
- Look for the UEFI firmware settings and ensure that the system is set to use UEFI instead of Legacy Mode.
- Save changes and exit the BIOS setup.
Method 2: Run a System File Checker (SFC)
- Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Type the following command:
sfc /scannow
- The SFC tool will scan your system for corrupted files and replace them if necessary.
Method 3: Repair Boot MBR (Master Boot Record)
- Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Type the following command:
chkdsk C:(replace «C:» with the drive letter of your C: partition)
- The CHDKS tool will scan and repair your system’s Master Boot Record.
Method 4: Run a System Restore
- Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Type the following command:
wmic path 'SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Name = "Windows'" Get Version /Attribute Path'
- The output will show you which restore point is most recent.
- Type the following command:restorationstate [Restore Point]
- Follow the prompts to complete the repair.
Method 5: Perform a System Update and Reboot
- Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Type the following command:update /force`
- The system will update and reboot.
Troubleshooting Steps
– Error Messages: Look for error messages specific to your issue, such as «System cannot be started» or «Windows cannot start».
– System Check: Run a System Check (chkdsk) to identify potential issues.
– Disk Errors: Run a Disk Check (chkdsk C:) to diagnose disk errors.
Important Notes
– Make sure you have the necessary permissions and privileges to run commands as an administrator.
– Be cautious when running commands, as they can potentially cause system damage if not executed correctly.
– If none of these methods resolve your issue, it may be best to seek further assistance from Microsoft support or a professional technician.
