Alright Spyros — here’s the no‑command‑line way to get your TR200 booting again, using only the graphical tools in Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). We’ll make sure it targets the TR200’s own EFI and leaves your WD SN580 untouched.
🖥 Step‑by‑Step: Startup Repair for TR200
1️⃣ Boot into TR200’s Recovery
Power on your PC and press F12 repeatedly.
From the boot menu, choose Windows Boot Manager (P0: Toshiba TR200).
If it fails to boot, it should drop you into the blue Recovery screen automatically.
2️⃣ Enter Advanced Options
On the blue WinRE screen:
Troubleshoot → Advanced options → Startup Repair.
3️⃣ Pick the Correct Windows Installation
You’ll see a list of detected Windows installations.
Select the one on the 232 GB NTFS partition — that’s your TR200’s C: drive.
If it shows the drive letter, confirm it matches TR200’s Windows partition.
4️⃣ Let Startup Repair Run
The tool will automatically:
Detect missing or corrupt boot files.
Write fresh boot code to the TR200’s EFI partition (your 100 MB FAT32 “System” volume).
Update the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) so TR200 is bootable again.
This can take several minutes. Your PC may restart during the process.
5️⃣ Test Boot
After repair completes, restart.
Press F12 → choose Windows Boot Manager (P0: Toshiba TR200).
If all went well, you should land in Windows 11 on the TR200.
🔒 Extra Safety Tip
If you want to be absolutely certain Startup Repair only touches TR200:
Shut down and temporarily unplug the WD SN580 (and any other drives).
Boot into WinRE from TR200 and run Startup Repair.
Once TR200 boots normally, reconnect the other drives.
If you’d like, I can now give you the purely graphical method to also rename the TR200 boot entry in the F12 menu — so it literally says Windows 11 – TR200 without touching BCDEdit. That way you’ll never mix them up again. Want me to walk you through that?
If you don’t press F12, your PC will follow whatever is set as the default boot order in your BIOS/UEFI.
Right now, if your WD SN580 is first in that list, the system will just go straight back to booting from the WD after the restart — even if you’ve just repaired the TR200. That’s why, during a multi‑drive repair, Windows Startup Repair sometimes “fixes” the wrong installation: it reboots and continues from whichever drive the firmware picks first.
You’ve got three ways to make sure the repair process actually finishes on the TR200:
Option 1 — Temporarily change boot order
Enter BIOS/UEFI setup (usually F2, Del, or Esc at startup).
Move Toshiba TR200 to the top of the boot priority list.
Save and exit.
Now, any automatic restart will continue from TR200 without you touching F12.
Option 2 — Disconnect the WD SN580 during repair
Power down, unplug the WD SN580’s data cable (or NVMe stick if it’s removable).
Boot and run Startup Repair on TR200.
Reconnect WD after TR200 is confirmed bootable.
Option 3 — Keep using F12
If you don’t want to change BIOS settings or unplug drives, you’ll need to be ready to hit F12 after every restart during the repair process and manually pick TR200.
💡 Best practice for your case: If you want a completely hands‑off repair where the PC restarts and continues on TR200 automatically, change the boot order temporarily so TR200 is first. Once it’s fixed, you can put the WD SN580 back at the top if you prefer.
If you want, I can give you a step‑by‑step for changing the boot order just for this repair so you don’t have to keep pressing F12. Would you like me to do that?
Alright Spyros — here’s how to temporarily change your boot order so that during the repair process, every restart will continue from the TR200 automatically, without you having to keep hitting F12.
🛠 Step‑by‑Step: Make TR200 First in Boot Order
1️⃣ Enter BIOS/UEFI Setup
Power off your PC completely.
Power it back on and immediately start tapping the BIOS/UEFI key — usually F2, Del, or Esc (your motherboard splash screen will usually say “Press F2/Del to enter Setup”).
If you see the Windows logo, you missed it — restart and try again.
2️⃣ Find the Boot Priority Menu
In BIOS/UEFI, look for a tab or section called Boot, Boot Order, or Boot Priority.
On some systems, it’s under Advanced → Boot Configuration.
3️⃣ Move TR200 to the Top
In the boot list, find Toshiba TR200 or Windows Boot Manager (P0: Toshiba TR200).
Use the on‑screen instructions (often
+/-keys or drag‑and‑drop with mouse in modern UEFI) to move it to position #1.Make sure the WD SN580 is below it in the list.
4️⃣ Save and Exit
Press the key for Save & Exit (often F10).
Confirm changes.
Your PC will now always try TR200 first — so when Startup Repair restarts the machine, it will continue from TR200 automatically.
5️⃣ After the Repair
Once TR200 boots normally, you can either:
Leave it first in the boot order, or
Go back into BIOS and put the WD SN580 back on top if that’s your preferred daily boot.
