Hi,

I have an ASUS Zenbook UX501J in which I've just installed a new 960GB SSD (Corsair MP510 NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 SSD). I'd like to start fresh, so before I replaced the old SSD I created a Windows recovery USB key and used it to install a clean Windows installation on the new SSD. After removing the USB key and restarting the laptop I was immediately directed to the bios where no bootable media were shown. (Bios is American Megatrends version 211).


In the Bios, CSM is enabled, and secure boot protocol is disabled. No boot options are given.


In booted from the USB recovery key again and I tried running "Start-up Repair" which gave an error and pointed to C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\srt\SrtTrail.txt. That file says "A recently serviced boot binary is corrupt."


Here are the disks and volumes, listed by going to the command line and typing

diskpart

list disk

sel disk 0

list vol

Is it bad that the system volume is hidden? Is that why the Bios can't see any boot options after the USB key is removed?


I selected the system volume and assigned a random drive letter to it, and exited the disk part utility.

sel vol 2

assign letter k:

exit


Here's what I get if I run

bcedit /store k:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD

Any ideas on how to get this to boot?


Cheers,
Lars
