UEFI System Unable to Boot After StorageCraft Restore

1. Create the StorageCraft Recovery Environment for Windows (WinPE) x64 ISO. For instructions here is a link to the documentation.
2. Below is a list of requirements for the EFI enabled UEFI boot process to complete.

• Disk must be initialized as GPT
• Disk must contain an EFI system partition (ESP) on the same disk as the bootable partition
• The EFI partition must contain a bootloader (BCD)
• The bootloader must point to the correct path in order to direct the load of Winload.efi

1. Change your boot order as needed to boot to the WinPE ISO.
2. Select Tools, then select Boot Configuration Utility (BCU).
3. In this example, there is a GPT initialized disk, running on a VM, using EFI enabled UEFI firmware. Below the bootable partition is listed as broken:

1. Select the bootable partition, then click Auto Repair. When the utility finishes review the log output:

1.  Review the top pane of the BCU. If the partition is marked as bootable, disconnect the WinPE ISO and attempt to restart in to windows:
