My brother downloaded a cracked game on the pc and when i shut it down then turn it on it give me this
I’m getting a BSOD with the error code: UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME (0xED) on Windows 11.
I think the issue started after a cracked game was installed. Windows stopped booting and kept going into recovery.
Things I already tried:
- Ran chkdsk C: /f /r
- It took around 5+ hours
- It completed successfully
- It reported 0 KB in bad sectors
- Ran:
- bootrec /fixmbr → completed successfully
- bootrec /rebuildbcd → found 0 Windows installations
- bcdboot C:\Windows → failed to copy boot files
- bcdboot D:\Windows → “Boot files successfully created”
- Tried Startup Repair multiple times
- It failed with log file:
D:\Windows\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt
- Tried System Restore
- Restore points existed
- Restore failed with error:
0x800701b1
- Tried:
sfc /scannow /offbootdir=D:\ /offwindir=D:\Windows
- It said there is a pending system repair
- Tried DISM restore health
- Failed with error 0x800f0915
Drive is still detected in BIOS/UEFI and Windows Boot Manager appears normally. I can also access recovery environment and command prompt.
At this point Windows still does not boot and keeps returning to recovery/startup repair.
