    My computer is running two HDD both of which have Windows 10 loaded. I was using EasyBCD as a boot device until it either crashed or is corrupted because all I get is; Reboot and Select Boot Device or Insert Boot Media in Selected Boot Device and press a Key. I have run Advanced Repair and have tried to rebuild BCD file to no avail. I have tried everything that I knew or could find on the internet except coming here. Hope someone can help.

    Same version or different ?

    EasyBCD has a companion program Easy Recovery Essentials | Windows Recovery and Repair CD Downloads which claims to sort out such issues but I fail to understand why you should be using anything other than standard Windows boot.

    I same version on each HDD. I have gone through the complete Windows Recovery Disk and keep getting the same error message. I can disconnect 1 drive and try to boot, the drive is fond but wont boot. I disconnect the other drive and try to boot and I get : "can't find any device ". I am at a loss as what to do to boot normally besides doing a complete new install. I resist this because of what I would lose in applications resulting in hundreds of dollars loss.

    I ran into a similar problem after using EasyBCD with XP/Vista/W7 hard drives.
    Usually you get a grey screen and options in white and you have to be quick to select your choice. Pause Break may help.
