The Bootres.dll file is damaged.
The Bootres.dll file is damaged.
Hey there, faced some issues fixing my motherboard. The CMOS battery was dead, but after restarting the PC the boot disk didn’t show up properly—it was just a Samsung SATA SSD. It turned out to be a loose connection. I went through all the troubleshooting steps and can’t get it to auto-repair. The SrtTrail.txt mentioned the root cause was a corrupt boot file, and bootres.dll failed with error code 0x57. After running bootrec commands, it said access denied and no Windows installs found. The prompt showed an X but I can still access the C drive where the OS is installed. I’m trying to download a Windows flash drive to fix it without having to wipe everything over. Any suggestions? Thanks!
