well if C drive is wipe it would not be able to boot to windows
A Found.xxxx file is created when chkdsk finds corrupted files. At this point... I would suggest to stop doing anything with the system and recover those important files before they end up unrecoverable. After that, do a fresh install.
If I were you I would try these commands:
(Go to command prompt at bootup)
type these commands:
bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootrec.exe /fixboot
type exit
Reboot
This should fix the MBR and you can then cancel that reason off the board as an error. Make sure to make a backup before doing it, if you haven't already.

Quote:Could be any of these reasons:



  • Bad MBR Configuration
  • Bad IDE/SATA cables
  • Bad Hard Drive
  • Bad Partition Table
  • Bad RAM memory
  • Check BIOS settings
  • Update BIOS version

Its One of the above. Check drive would be my first test.

ok so my relative had a spare hard drive so we hooked it up installed windows connected the other hard drive and came to a conclusion the whole drive was wiped now i'm looking for a free data recovery software so i could recover the files since the one who gave us windows 10 has created a backup of our files on his pc but he is out of town till summer i believe
it sounds like  to me if the hard drive failing  I would check the health  status of the hard drive

before trying to recover any data how to check your hard drive health status with crystal disk info
