FILE: \BOOT \BCD - status 0xc000000f

OK, Vista running and get the error on the startup file: \boot \BCD with status 0xc000000f

I know not how to solve this problem using the diskette provided by dell and I see a lot of people have the same problem.

Microsoft gave instructions on how to solve this problem, but they did not address the cause,

Everything works fine until there is an another update of Vista then it does again?

Why is this and how can it be solved for good?

    Hi Maddy,

    This problem may occur if the Windows startup files are damaged or missing.

    If your computer has integrated system recovery options, you can try to perform the Startup Repair and check if it helps.

    If it fails, you must have a Windows Vista installation disc and try to parade Startup Repair boot from the disc.

    If the problem persists, try the steps in the article to rebuild BCD, boot from the installation disc.

    Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    Because you replaced the hard drive, you can also get in contact with the Dell helpdesk for assistance.

    Hope the helps of information.

  • 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.

    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.

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/Download-Windows-7-ISO-official-32-bit-and-64-bit-direct-download-link...

    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.

    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.

    I found something similar on the Microsoft KnowledgeBase (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927391), but according to the Windows Vista boot, all the proposed solutions require the installation of Vista media and I have just the recovery CD Toshiba base.

    When I try to boot my Toshiba Recovery CD, if I select "English (Windows Vista)" in the menu and go to the settings, the only selectable option is a scroll bar to choose what size I want to partition - for the option "Expert Mode: retrieves WinRE and the OS for the readers of the FIRST installation of TOSHIBA without affecting additional data disc" is grayed out.

    All I can do with the Toshiba Recovery CD is format the drive and lose all my data.

    I have a USB enclosure external that I put the disc in, and I have an XP machine that I can plug it in, then might be able to backup the drive but really the best option would be a way to fix rather than formatting.

    Does anyone have suggestions on how this can be repaired without the CD of Installation of Vista? Thanks in advance :)

    The Toshiba Recovery disk is not the same as the Microsoft Vista disc!
    Recovery disk contains an image that will not be able to repair your computer.

    The error message indicates that the Boot Manager is damaged or it s damage and you will need to boot from the ORIGINAL Microsoft vista DVD to repair it.

    If you don t have such a MS Vista DVD then I n t see chances to repair the operating system.
    So in this case, you need to reinstall the OS using the recovery disk.

    By the way; What happens if you press F8, immediately after the laptop has been started?
