Bootdisk failure: Failed to Read Delta Log

[PG1967]

I keep getting a Bootdisk failure: Failed to Read Delta Log Error on my HP Spectre x360 15 -df0033dx.  I purchased this laptop in 2019; recently the battery failed.  I installed a new battery.  Now I'm having difficulty booting up into Windows 11. Has anyone had this problem?

A boot disk failure, especially the "Failed to Read Delta Log Error," can be caused by several factors, including hardware issues, corrupted files, or configuration problems. Here's a general approach you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this error:

Check Boot Order in BIOS:

• Restart your computer and immediately press Esc while booting to enter the Startup Menu.

Check Hard Drive Status:

• Run HP Diagnostics to check the status of your hard drive.
• You can access Diagnostics from the Startup Menu by selecting the appropriate option.

Recover Data:

• If the hard drive is accessible but not booting, consider using an external recovery tool to retrieve important files.

Repair Boot Sector:

• Boot from Windows installation media (USB or DVD).
• Select "Repair your computer" and navigate to "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" > "Command Prompt."
• Run commands like
  • bootrec /fixmbr
