    To me, it now sounds like you have a Windows Update problem (bad patch).
    I'm not a WU expert, but there is a sub-forum where others may be able to help you:

    If you want, you can also try a Repair Install, if you can start Windows:

    My earlier long-winded post was based on having OS partition and data partition backups before all the troubles started; when everything was working aok; now -- backups may very well backup the problem[s] as well; it is not a bad idea to backup the data folders and files onto external media. I recommend Macrium Reflect Pro, I'm not sure if and how the free version works for just folders and files -- but hey there's no harm in trying free at first.
    Yeah...in fact, I will do an extensive search maybe I have the original good image somewhere but i don't recall thats the case, my back up was the original...

    I don't understand that there is no simple way to rebuild part table since there is no disk or data corruption. Why the restored pbr always become corrupted again only rebbooting...that can't be an impossible issue to resolve, i cant believe that...

    When you say PBR do you really mean MBR (Master Boot Record) ?
    If not, what is PBR ?

    I've cloned many disks without any problems. I use Clonezilla (Clonezilla - About) that is a Linux with GUI. You boot from a CD or pendrive and It's fast as it clones disks not in use.
    I think your problems started when you cloned a HDD partition to a SSD disk. How did you clone it?

    Not the mbr master boot record, PBS not PBR, I,m sorry partition boot sector, CBS=copy of bootsector. That said, im no specialist on the technical precises details and relations between theses, mbr, PBS, mft, part table etc...

    Boot Disk software consists of Partition Recovery tool - Active@ Partition Recovery

    Looking at that link, maybe you need a Recovery specialist.

    DavidE, I'm wondering if the Partition Boot Record is the same as what is found within a System Reserved partition? In the old days, MBR was on Track Zero, with FAT and DIR right behind, also on Track Zero.
