Successful restore but drive not bootable
I'm currently running Windows 10 Pro and successfully completed a restore process with TI 2018 following a Windows update causing issues. However, the drive isn't bootable.
I initially received an 'MBR Error 1' message on startup.
I found the following steps to resolve this:
"In the Systems Recovery Options dialog box click Command Prompt, and type the following:
Bootrec.exe /FixMbr
Bootrec.exe /FixBoot
If you want to completely rebuild Windows Boot Configuration Data,
then you should issue the following command:
Bootrec.exe /Rebuildbcd"
FixMbr was successful but the other two weren't. Rebuildbcd found 0 windows installations.
I then tried 'bcdedit /export c:\bcdbackup' but this operation failed.
The startup message i currently receive is:
"Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"
I verified the integrity of the image and it checked out.
I'm at a loss what to do next. Can anyone please help?
Thanks

Richard, welcome to these User Forums.
The first question that needs to be asked here is whether you have a Legacy or UEFI BIOS system here?
The next question is what partitions are shown in the backup image that you restored and how was this backup restored?
Most recent computer systems use UEFI BIOS (with or without Secure Boot enabled) and Windows boots using UEFI mode, so have an EFI partition where the Boot Configuration Data file store is located. UEFI systems use GPT partitioning to allow for larger disk sizes.
Older computers use Legacy BIOS with MBR partitioning.
When doing a recovery with the Acronis bootable Rescue Media, then this media needs to be booted in the same BIOS mode as used by Windows as problems can arise otherwise, i.e. a MBR partition drive will be converted to GPT if the media is booted using UEFI mode.
