8.1 Windows fails to start error 0xc000000f

Hello, I met the same problem as other users but am unable to create a Windows 8.1 USB Installer. I just bought a G2 G430 ProBook. I saved the DCD 2 content on a USB key, tried to start up my laptop using the USB files but failed. I'm still able to use my laptop. Any help would be very welcome, thank you.

Error message:

Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. TI solve the problem:

1. Insert the Setup disk and restart your computer.

2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".

"3 click on repair your computer."

If you do not have your system drive contact your administrator

File: \Boot\BCD

Sastus: 0xc000000f

Info: An error occurred trying to read the boot configuration data.

@ChrisGale

It would be simpler if you did it with a desktop or laptop which has Windows installed 8.1.

You have a friend who has Windows 8.1 on a laptop and would be willing to help you to create a recovery key?

It starts with the battery and after about 10 seconds returns to the previous menu. Looking at the logs, it is said that the diagnistic was canceled, but certainly not by me. I managed to run individual tests on do as the battery, processor and hard drive and they all passed.

    How can we try to repair Windows rather than recreating the image?

    If you create a USB installer or Windows 8.1, you should be able to access the recovery options advanced that you will use the Safe Mode. If you are able to boot in safe mode, then using the system recovery may very well be the answer to the question of the BCD store that appeal to you.

    Hi sanjeevkode,

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.  As the question you posted typically associated with third party software / application that has its own way of program codes and call the corresponding system resources when installing and running. Therefore, I also suggest you to join the VMware Forums for the best support.

    VMware communities: http://communities.vmware.com/home.jspa

    In the meantime I suggest you try these options / methods

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Microsoft provides this information as a convenience to you. Proposed changes could lead to serious problems. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems would be solved as a result of the suggestions. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Option 1: If you go to computer management, and then to the list of Services and find the VMware authorization Service, it appears as stopped? If so, you need to start

    Option 2: Try logging on as an administrator Local host during installation first workstation, rather than you connect with a domain ID

    Option 3: The question can be caused also by your security program such an antivirus or a firewall of Windows /Defender that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must enable security programs new that had disabled you

    Option 4: The problem could be linked to a local or domain group policy. Make sure that the local account is defined as 'local user __vmware_user__' in the local Administrators group and the permissions of "Log on locally" and "Log on as a service.

    The two parameters are available in the "* Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment *" branch of domain group policy or local.

    Let me know if it worked.

  • Windows search Windows failed to start the service on the Local computer

    OK, so it's a big, dirty and convoluted issue, so please bear with me. Any help is greatly appreciated! I start tearing my hair out on this one...

    I'm on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    UAC is set to the lowest level 2

    The other day I have problems with the search box in the start bar. It is more was to find excel or other office applications and also he wouldn't orders base as cmd or Notepad. Whenever I run a command it returns an error like this (not exact because I have the exact error message):

    Windows cannot find ': search query = cmd'

    I searched a little and tried to rebuild the index in Control Panel > Indexing Options. It does not work so I uninstalled Windows Search and reinstalled. What I found now, is that the indexing service would not start and if I tried manually start from services.msc I would get the following error:

    Windows search Windows failed to start the service on the Local computer
    Error 161: the specified path is not valid

    The event log showed me this Application error:

    Help!

    Thanks Samhrutha.
    Your proposed solution of editing the registry is the only solution I found to this day and still work.
    The only drawback that I want to emphasize is that this fix causes completely reset to its default settings of windows search.  Customizations to search what have been done by the user (e.g., windows search indexing user customizations options) will be lost.

    I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and occasionally experienced the same error message ( windows cannot find ': search query = XXX ", where XXX corresponds to my search query) try to search through windows when start menu search box.

    Only recently, however, discovered one other cause possible/fix to this problem.
    Specifically, I discovered that the error of windows search resulting from the ADDITION of a NETWORK LOCATION on the local computer (for example, via the menu option "Add a network location" that appears when you click the file menu in a window of windows Explorer displays the contents of the local computer (corresponding to the "COMPUTER" icon). The CENTER of my computer SYNC settings have been defined to disable the synchronization of network or file 'offline' and I suspect that this setting is also part the cause of the error of research.

    To resolve this problem, simply tell windows search not to include the 'network' location in the search index.  To do this, one needs to access the settings of the windows search INDEX LOCATIONS (via Indexing Options-> change), then uncheck the box next to the network location (which on my computer starts as follows: oneindex: / / {s-1-5-21...)

    After unchecking this box, click on the OK button and then CLOSE the button to exit the Options of Index window.  After that the error message should hopefully not return.  If so, try restarting the computer and research to test again.

    Hope this helps!

  • QuickTime Player 7.7.9 for Windows failed to initialize error 2096

    I tried to open QuickTime Player 7.7.9 in Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 with the latest updates for February 2016 and a pop-up message with the message of: QuickTime failed to initialize error 2096. There was also something to check that the application has been installed correctly.

    I opened the Panel configuration/programs and features/QuickTime 7 and selected repair. Open Setup ran the repair and closed. I restarted the computer and I tried to run QuickTime player with the same result. I uninstalled QuickTime player, restarted the computer, downloaded and installed QuickTime Player from the Apple web site.

    I tried to run the new QuickTime Player that sent the same message.

    I have somehow found and executed the installer of QuickTime Player 7.7.6 (1680.95.31). I am able to access the QuickTime Player. I checked the updates and ran the update for 7.7.9 and get once more: QuickTime failed to initialize error 2096.

    As I type this i / m re - run SFC/verify only and a big pile of sucessfully some updates installed.

    What have I done? I took possession of the special directories above from "TrustedInstaller".

    Even when owned by TrustedInstaller, it does not have permissions. Some places I found rejection specific to the owner of the network.

    -What happened? Do you have a trusted Installer get stuck Mid-install?

    I took possession of SYSTEM, and made sure the CREATOR had every right, as in the SYSTEM and

  • Windows Vista: windows could not start error. is suspended from the "Microsoft Corporation" loading bar then black screen BIOS not acpi compliant

    After you have installed the driver for the zune hd, I was asked to restart my computer. After the reboot, start froze on a white screen. I've seen this before and it is usually because of some connected usb components. so I manually powered down the Tower, disconnected the cable from zune and restarted. This time a screen saying that windows could not start, "launch Startup Repair tool" was recommended. Select this habit makes the startup hang to the progress bar from Microsoft corporation, then to a completely white screen. Although strangely, once only a blue error screen appears which says that the BIOS is not acpi compatible. I can't restart with F8 to go into safe mode, "windows error recovery" still appears. "Start windows normally"produces the same results as the tool to restart launch system. " I have a drive to upgrade to windows 7 and a windows XP upgrade disk. the disc of windows 7 hangs at "starting windows" and the XP disc gives a blue screen error: stop: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0c 0000034, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000000)

    I think I have a BIOS problem, but I don't know how I could continue dealing with the repair. I have no success update the bios from usb flash. Any idea is appreciated.

    Hello

    1. What is the exact error message when Windows Vista does not start?

    2. you have the disk Installation of Windows Vista operating system?

    I suggest you change the mode of RAMA to IDE in the BIOS. You can contact the PC manufacturer for assistance.

    Note: BIOS change / oxide of additional metal (CMOS) semiconductor parameters incorrectly can causeserious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

     

    In addition, perform a check disk in Windows Recovery Mode.

    (a) Insert the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    (b) press a key when the message "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD".

    (c) select a language, an hour and the currencyand a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    (d) click on check drive for errors.

    (e) in the System Recovery Options dialog box, select the drive of your Windows installation and click Next

    (f) to the System Recovery Options dialog box, click on check Drive for errors.

    (g) use the switch/r to run the disk check.

    Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost

  • Windows fails to start due to the registry error

    Original title: this is a double whammy.

    My windows XP crashed he keeps coming with the registry cannot load the hive (file0\systemroot\system32\config\software. I know there is a way to solve this problem through the reg change but do not know how. Also, I thought I could get around this by installing windows xp home edition on a different partition. the problem is that I forgot to put it as a dual boot. Now I have the same windows xp on a partition. Fortunately, we're on the C:\ drive and the other on the D:\drive. Help, please. Thank you

    What does 'crashed' mean to you?

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    You will see messages like this if the file system is corrupt and XP just cannot play or read the file, then XP stops loading and complains.

    Rarely, it means that the file is really corrupted or missing (unless it happened by human hands).

    Run chkdsk /r from the Recovery Console XP will straighten the file system if nothing else is wrong and that I would always start by chkdsk/r when these types of messages are encountered.

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    There is zero logic to begin to try to begin to try to modify or copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk /r on your hard drives may solve your problem completely.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the command prompt.

    Start by checking the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.
