HP Recommended
Product: Omen 15 dc 1903tx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I converted my partition from mbr to gpt using mbr2gpt.exe(cmd). After that a new folder is created in C:(Windows) drive named 'EFI' which contains bcd,bootmgr stuff.

When i try to go into system recovery 

'Boot Configuration Data file doesn't contain valid information for an operating system' this error occurs but pc boots normally.

Also bootrec /rebuildbcd showing 0 wimdows installation found

I looked up for solutions on web:

bcdedit /export c:\bcdbackup attrib c:\\boot\\bcd -r –s -h ren c:\\boot\\bcd bcd.old bootrec /rebuildbcd

 

From this,second and third command doesn't work saying path not found to C:boot

Also setting window partition to active is failed saying , that is not a fixed mbr partition.

My guess is that bcd should be mapped to this newly created EFI folder.

 

Any suggestions?
