Today I had a PC, which when cloned, booted straight to the recover partition. You know something is wrong when you see the “Please Wait” message on booting!
Turns out, the EFI partition was corrupt and needed to be rebuilt. Here’s the steps I took to get things going again:
diskpart
list disk
sel disk 0
list vol
(Now look for the hidden FAT32 partition and use the volume number below)
sel vol (volume umber as above)
format fs=fat32 quick label=(optional)
exit
bcdboot C:\Windows
