Boot Manager Windows couldn't start?

I have an advent netbook that is not a hard drive. my laptop suddenly stops while I use it and when I turn it on it says that you cannot start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer. (I CAN'T DO THIS BECAUSE I HAVE NO DISC DRIVE IN MY NETBOOK)
2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".
3. click on repair your computer.
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000014c
Info: An error occurred trying to read the boot configuration data.
I'm not a very experienced user and I don't have any idea what to do!
any help? THIS IS URGENT.

    Original title: Windows Vista upgrade to Windows boot disk boot manager is located in the computer but will not start up installation disc

    Hi WillieGuyton,

    (1) since when are you facing this problem?

    (2) remember to make changes?

    (3) what is the complete error message you receive?

    (4) what is the number of brand and model of your computer?

    Method 1:

    Step 1: disconnect any external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...)  Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

    Step 2: Follow the steps mentioned in the link below to access pre - install the system recovery tools.

    How to access the System Recovery Options menu?

    Run the tool to restart system as shown in the link below
    How to use Startup Repair?


    Method 2:

    Step 1:

    Set the first boot device in the DVD in BIOS to boot from the Windows Installation DVD. To do this, see the documentation that came with the computer.

    Important: Change BIOS (Basic input output system) /semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious 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.

    It is very possible that this is for the reason that you have corrupted files on your system. System File Checker will scan your system for the missing, corrupt or damaged files. In addition, it will try to correct them. If you have changed the important system files, System File Checker will be - make sure you make backups of them!

  • I ran the Windows memory diagnostic tool, he keeps repeating and will not be finished, finally Boot Manager Windows appears with the error code: 0xc000000d.

    I ran the windows memory diagnostic tool on my PC toshiba laptop equium, it restarts priming for display and then directly into the RAM test...
    Unfortunately, it will not end and keeps repeating and finally if leave to work for a few hours the Windows Boot Manager comes in and stops the RAM test while noting an error 0xc000000d code. I REALLY can't reformat what I have given crucial for the thesis of the University and I only have the Vista installation disc not repair...
    This RAM test shows whenever I start the PC, how can I forget that he spent his RAM test a pc and more? I'm so confused!

    Any ideas on how may get a repair disk or fix it otherwise? Thank you very much

    Run Memtest86 +: your computer passes this test?

    Memtest86 + is running from a floppy or CD and should eliminate or confirm if your one or more of your sticks of memory are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.

    Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), if no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

  • Windows Boot Manager - windows does not have charge as the HAL is missing

    What does that mean? What should I do to fix? I have no windows installation cd that I bought the laptop with all the software on it - it was a demo in Comet

    Hello

    I guess the \System32\Hal.dll is missing.
    This means that your windows operating system must be reinstalled.

    I put t know what laptop you have, but I think that the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator was preinstalled on your laptop. This software creates recovery Toshiba DVD, that help you to reinstall the operating system. But now he s at the end you can not boot into the operating system.

    You can try this:
    Press F8, choose repair my computer, then select Toshiba HDD Recovery.
    Maybe this option is available.

    Otherwise will need you a Windows installation disc

    Hello

    If you do not, use another PC to create a rescue CD Windows 7.  Download the ISO relevant among the links below.

    Windows 7 32 bit

    Windows 7 64 bit

    You must use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  One time created, or if you already have this, typing away at the esc key when you launch Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Insert the rescue CD.  Select boot options (usually f9), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

    When loading, select repair your computer and choose the command prompt.  When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

    Bootrec.exe

    bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

    c:

    Boot CD

    BCD attrib s h - r

    Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

    Bootrec /RebuildBcd

    Bootrec /fixmbr

    Remove the rescue CD and try to restart the laptop.
