I had to get her machine back to her this morning, but before doing so, I ran the commands you kindly suggested. These were the results:
This was successful.
Still did not work. For /disable I got error 2, and for /enable I got the same error 57.After that:
Still not working?Code:reagentc/disable reagentc/enable
This was successful.then:
Code:bcdedit /set {current} recoveryenabled yes
On 1st repair it said it found errors: "Boot Manager identifier repaired" and "startup options modeifed".Now do "startup repair" 3 times
Second and third repair-boots found no problems.
Booted into Windows and from elevated command tried the reagentc/enable and /disable commands, and got the same errors as before. 57 and 2.
Rebooted and hit F8, and got the recovery screen I noted earlier, with the safe mode, etc options.
I apologize for having to return the computer, as I would have liked to have followed this through too, to see why these errors were occurring when everything appears in order. I know it is unsatisfying to a degree to come this far and then not be able to do this final thing. But at least I have the OS disk now with repair function, if she should have problems, though I don't expect any.
Kaktussoft, your help was monumental. I would have had to either rebuild the UEFI/GPT partitions from the command line (which I don't know how to do and would have had to research) and TRIED to get the archive to boot afterward, or learn how to convert it back to MBR which I was reluctant to do because I wasn't sure if it would boot at all, if reverted. In all cases it would have taken me several days and countless hours of reading, plus a lot more stress. And this isn't a job. I was just doing a favor. All to say, I cannot thank you enough.
If you have any final words, I am all ears. And forever in your debt...
ery strange.. but not very important I assume. To display what it did change:"Boot Manager identifier repaired" and "startup options modeifed".
in elevated command prompt:
Post c:\bcd.txtCode:bcdedit/enum all>c:\bcd.txt
Afterwards you may delete c:\bcd.txt

In elevated command prompt:
Also:Code:dir/a /s c:\winre.* 2>nul
Post outputCode:reagentc/info
If it really not works and no winre.win file is on C drive:
In elevated command prompt:
Not really needed. Use win7 repair disc or win7 install dvd to enter "recovery environment" instead.Code:bcdedit /set {current} recoveryenabled no
