IF I was going to try and manually update the BCD like the error message says, I would need instructions about how to add a secondary mirrored OS partition as aĭIFFERENT BCD entry - the same way that it is (normally) automatically done by Windows when adding a mirror partition in Disk Manager. For some reason, it ignores the simple configuration where the "System Reserved" partition is mirrored and both disks are updated at the same time. That document is detailing a very complex procedure to manually create a completely different "System Reserved" partition on the Secondary Disk which then has to be updated manually However, the article that you refer to does not address my issue. Nothing has worked soĪny assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have even (with Microsoft Support connected via LogMeIn) removed the mirror and then remirrored the drives to show the specific error message. I have rebuilt the machine and reinstalled Windows multiple times. I have even tried to run “Disk Management” and the command line “DiskPart” using the machine account “$PCName” rather than just the AdministratorĪccount. I have looked at permissions for the BCD Store on a working system and on the problem machine and they are identical.

The partition layout of the operating system disks is similar to the Windows 10 partition layout shown above (mirrored System Reserved and mirrored Windows Here is an example from a Windows 10 System that is working correctly. If any changes are made (replacing/upgrading a disk, breaking the mirror and then having to reestablish the mirror for some reason) there is only one BCD Store to update. Both menu choices are shown regardless of which disk the system starts from because the “System Reserved” partition In the future, if either OS partition is unbootable for any reason, or if either disk fails for any reason, the boot menu withīOTH CHOICES is shown and the system can be started.Since the System Reserved partition is mirrored, this entry is added to.The BCD Store is automatically updated and adds a new Windows Boot Loader entry with a different GUID from the entry for the Primary Disk and the words “- Secondary Plex” added to the description.No error message is generated and the OS partitions start resynching.Select the Windows OS partition, select Add Mirror, select the Secondary Disk.Open Disk Management, select the System Reserved partition, select Add Mirror, select the Secondary Disk, wait for partitions to finish sync.When this process works correctly, as proven in hundreds of Windows workstations and servers over many years, the following happens: The mirroring completes and everything look normal but there is no entry added to the BCD Store. There is an error message generated that says

On a Windows 10 Pro system with dual 250GB SSDs, when mirroring the Windows partition using software mirroring the second disk is not added as a menu choice in the BCD. The problem is very specific and repeatable. At the moment, I am waiting for "escalation". Then I opened a support call on the same subject and three different MS support engineers still could not help. I am hoping that someone in this forum can either answer this question or refer me to an expert at Microsoft who can.
