After select volume [n] in diskpart attributes volume clear hidden fails with

Virtual Disk Service error:

The object is not found.

I found some forum threads which might contain a solution (http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/248241-repair-windows-7-boot-menu-uefi-4.html, https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/cc44af84-f8f2-4fc2-8445-ad34d62ae8f2/problem-clear-hidden-volume-in-diskpart?forum=winservercore), but I can't figure it out and keep my sanity. The world is ready for Q&A quality answer.

I'm using Windows 8 on a Lenovo IdeaPad U410 in the recovery cmd. Windows doesn't boot after installing an Ubuntu dual boot. I just need to do a BIOS update (has to run on Windows) and don't care about Windows. I don't have any recovery media and the issue I'm trying to fix with the BIOS update is not worth buying one.

I can't remember if I every booted windows, I might have just moved initially installed partitions around with gparted. Removing the hidden flag with gparted on Ubuntu 16.04 causes the hidden flag to be removed across reboots, but still be displayed in diskpart.

The output of attributes disk after select volume [n] is

Current Read-only state: No

Read-only: No

Boot disk: No

Pagefile Disk: No

Hibernation File Disk: No

Crashdump Disk: No

Clustered Disk: No

chkdsk [letter]: /f /r /x passed for all 4 volumes and are reported Healthy in diskpart.

After bootrec /fixmbr and bootrec /fixboot which complete successfully bootrec /scanos find 0 Windows installations.

Ask a friend to help you do the following:

Download and install Rufus (You will need an USB flash drive).

If you want to recover your data, you will need a live CD that you have to create first. I prefer using this one, everything is configured and ready to use.

All you have to do is download the ISO, and use Rufus to make a USB flash drive bootable with the ISO.

Than you can use the USB flash drive to boot into your PC. I suggest you try the recovery software included in the Live CD first. Also don't forget to backup your important files.

If the Live CD fails to recover and make your Windows bootable, you will need to do a fresh install.

Again, you can use Rufus to create a bootable USB flash drive from any ISO file.

For a free solution, you can download and use Ubuntu.

You can also download and install Windows as well using this method.
