Hi calus2404,
1. How have you installed Windows Vista? Is it pre-installed?
2. using Windows Vista CD or DVD?
If you can organize an another DVD of Windows Vista, then use it and check if you can load from disk.
If you can load, then try the steps in the link below to perform a system restore or startup repair and check to see if you can boot into normal mode.

Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

status: \boot\bcd 0xc000000f
Hello
I tried to set up the factory configuration, after having instabilities in the system, using the 4 DVD I've burned, but at the end of installation, I received the following message:
File: \boot\BCD
status: 0xc000000f
Info: an error occurred trying to read the boot configuration data.
I have a pavilion hp DV6 notebook, windows 7 is installed.
Help, please.
Hello
I would say that the next step would be to exclude a potential problem with the recovery discs.
There is a simple way to check this if you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to the retail version accurate, you would need.
If you do not access to the retail drives, you can create an installation disk yourself - just download good picture disc from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO on a CD blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here. These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key is located on the underside of your laptop when asked and once installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally delivered with OEM Windows installations.

FILE: \BOOT \BCD - formatted status 0xc000000f for latpop error
I formatted the hard drive of my laptop and has been installing windows 7 when it crashed at halfway.
Now when I restart the computer its give the FILE: \BOOT \BCD - status 0xc000000f error.I tried recovery to start by inserting the windows startup disk, but as the system has no any OS, it is not repairable. Tried the disc start recovery and orders bootrec quick functions.Can anyone suggest how I can fix it. Or is it simply because my laptop currently has no OS and thus this error?Test your hard drive for errors. If you have sector errors near the front or at the beginning of the disk, this could be the cause.

Ranging from 5 to 20% (depending on the manufacturing) new hard disks are defective. Test your drive with the factory utility. If you have a new hard drive Seagate the very next thing would be to download Seagate Seatools (bootable CD) and check bad sectors:

I have a gateway DX4720-03 with no changes with respect to the material.
He came out of the box with Windows Vista 64 installed.I get the boot\bcd error 0xc000000f
I can boot from the recovery disc and the System Recovery Options.
It shows not all operating systems to repair. He asked the drivers to load to load the drivers for your hard drives.When I click to load the drivers it shows the startup disk (x) disc, but all the other disks are removable with nothing in it. My hard drive is not displayed.
I checked the BIOS and it recognizes the hard disk.
I tried chkdsk in command prompt, but since it is not at all recognize the drive I could not figure out.
I would like to launch a program to be able to check my drive hard, but without being able to get into windows don't know how to do in this regard.
When I plug in my external hard drive it recognizes him as the C: drive which I thought it was a little weird, as a removable disk.
Any thoughts on how to solve this problem would be wonderful.
The problem is that the partition with the operating system does not appear in the recovery options. That's the problem I'm having. Right now I wipe my hard drive clean and completely restore factory default. I supported everything every week so I shouldn't lose to much information.

Hello
The following assumes that you are running Windows 7.
If you do not, use another PC to create a rescue CD Windows 7. Download the ISO relevant among the links below - if you are unsure of the version, your laptop is listed as coming from a 64-bit installation.
You must use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD-( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn options)- hereis a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc.
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 line. 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
Bootrec /fixboot
Remove the rescue CD and try to restart the laptop.

Xc0000225 Boot\BCD error 0 after factory restore
So I recently did a restore of the configuration system once the OS has been fairly well watered on the PC of my mother. I don't know what someone did to her the last time that they 'fixed', but kept getting tons of errors and do not load the system under profiles admin processes.
The FIRST restory facotry was 'OK' he reinstalled the operating system, but unfortunately, a lot of mistakes that were there before, were still there this time... I thought it was weird... So I did another restore to factory image...
That's when things went downhill even faster. Now, he is yet to start windows and I get errors xc0000225 Boot\BCD 0 right on turn on the machine after loading the BIOS...
I started in the recovery partition and pulled the top quite prompt a chkdsk, which returned well... google the error and the attempt bootrec /rebuildbcd - he found the BONES, I have a
key and press ENTER, restarted with fingers crossed and got the same error... Tried to do /scanos bootrec after that, just to see if it took, and it did not find the OS... I googled some more and he was leading define me active partitions and all that... which makes me nervous in doing this... By looking at the partitions, the two were leaving them C: & D: are defined as 'primary', which I think might be a problem? But not sure... and fear to disconnected D: partition as primary, in the case where I need to start again in the recovery disk...
I made another return to settings repair factory (maybe I should stop doing those?) ... and it is me giving the erorr and bootrec /scanos find the installtion windows on the C: drive. do you have an other /rebuildbcd and rebooted... even the boot errors... have you an other /scanos after that... once again not stated no identified windows installation.
If the thoughts? Should I do another restore, then work with partitions?

Hello
Unfortunately it would look as the volume is indeed corrupt, which coupled with the error of the DST, would tend to confirm that the drive has indeed failed.
Now my best suggestion would be to contact HP immediately and get the HARD drive replaced under warranty - make sure you always have a set of recovery discs/media to reinstall the operating system on the new drive, if you have not, you should be able to order it at the same time.
