PC won't start (0xc000000f) installation disc

Before reading below I should mention that I have received "guidance" to a separate forum because I had problems installing, I went under disk management and the 'C' drive, I chose "Mark Partition as Active" (I think that's my problem)... Then I did the following:

Trying to install Vista on my PC, I'm having problems with the installation. The computer had a temporary version of Windows 7, but since I don't have a product key for it, that I went to Vista. I installed Vista click on my computer, the disk drive, then setup.exe... after that I put in my product key, that he began to install. It will automatically as usual when installing an operating system, but now I have:

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

1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".
3. click on "Repair your computer."

If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

File: \Boot\BCD

Status: 0xc000000f

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

It does NOT start after that,
I put the disc back in and restarted the computer... nothing
I changed the settings in the BIOS when the computer starts on the disc... nothing

It comes to the screen only I get, he literally cross this... of course I can enter BIOS... the computer works very well up to this point, I promise you it's a problem / the user software and non-material

Thanks in advance

Well I ended up re-formatting the HARD drive and then using Gparted to resolve the partitions, after I did I was able to do a clean install with Vista, thanks anyway

  • Equium L40 - Vista won't start after installation of product recovery

    Hello

    I had to realize a product uses recovery provided restore disk on an Equium L40 computer laptop (PLS41). The recovery procedure done his job to the end, reformats and copy all the files and then restarts. Now the problem starts...
    The pc gets in front of the BIOS boot screen, then it goes completely black with only a cursor to underscore flashing in the upper corner of the screen. No HARD or CD-rom drive activity.

    I did the cover about ten times now. All with the same result. I tried the repair procedure using a Vista boot CD and I also tried using another disk supplied with the computer, anytime upgrade from Vista. Here they are without defects, see the hard drive and shows that the vista files are on it, also sees the winRE partition.

    I tired even fresh install from the disc at any time. It also reformats the disk, copies and decompresses all files needed, begins to install the updates on the disk and then said: he needs to restart. It restarts and goes to black screen with flashing underscore cursor. What happens if I press the 'coup of any key to boot from CD' or leave it to boot from the HARD drive.

    I tried to fix this for two days now, including endless hours of forum to research, the computer belongs to my friend gets very angry I am. I need help. No one knows how to fix?

    Hello

    According to your message, I think that the HARD drive is faulty.
    I think there's a defective recording of MBR (MBR) of the drive and therefore the laptop refuses to boot.

    One question; have you tried to set the BIOS default settings? If this is not the case, try this.

    If it doesn t help and the laptop still does not start upward, then you should ask ASP for verification.
    I think it s a problem of HARD disk and, possibly, the HARD drive must be replaced!

  • Windows Vista won't start after installation of microsoft updates

    I just install microsoft updates, then the computer is turned off and it does not load windows.  A box appears that says
    Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library.
    This application has requested the execution to terminate in an unusual way.  For more information, contact the application support team.

    The options are to click OK or close the box.  I tried both and it just keeps popping up the same box as above.

    Hi Mas_007,

    Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    I have a few here that might solve the problem.

    A.) Firstly, I suggest that you start the computer in safe mode and check if you are able to boot without any problems, safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not run in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed that, follow these steps to start the computer in safe mode with networking:

    To restart the computer using safe mode, restart the computer and press the F8 key for about four to five times. Appears in safe mode listed in the advanced options of Windows. Select Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.

    (B) I suggest that you perform a clean boot on your computer, to help troubleshoot error messages and other issues; You can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    The following link has steps showing how to perform the clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    (1) perform the clean boot (check the link to perform the clean boot)

    (2) enable half the services

    (3) determine whether the problem returns

    (4) enable half of the startup items

    (5) determine if the problem returns

    (6) repeat the steps above until you find out which program or service is causing the issue

    After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

    Note: Please make sure that the computer is configured to start as usual by following step 7 of article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

    (C.) I suggest that you perform a scan of the file system [SFC] checker on the computer, the scan replaces the failed system of files with the original files from version of Windows on the computer system, follow the steps below to perform a scan:

    I suggest to empty the temp folder and later, follow these steps:

    i. Click Start > type % temp % in the start search box > press on enter > delete everything present in the temp folder.

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

    2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

    3. at the command calls, the following line and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

    Additional information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936212

    Hope this information is useful.
    Let me know if it worked.
    All the best!

  • Purple screen United immediately after ESXi 5 loading bar when starting the installation disc.

    I have a client that is running ESX 4.0 on a compatible with ESXi 5 host.  When I went to upgrade the host to ESXi 5 I ran into a problem, I have never seen elsewhere.  I started on the disk and screen with the status bar at the top is fine.  Immediately after loading, before showing always the yellow background or license agreement, he throws a Uni purple screen and without words.  If you leave it for about 20 seconds, then the screen goes black with gray blocks randomly everywhere.  I tried with another download and CD but I get the same results.  I couldn't find anything on purple screens without the current text.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Did you check if the version of the BIOS of the host must be updated in order to run ESXi 5.0?

  • Windows could not start. request the installation disc

    Hi my laptop is coming with the "windows didn't start, insert the windows installation disk.

    Can anyone help? We don't have a Setup disk

    Hello

    Drive replacement hard is surprisingly simple and short on it's lower.

    Your computer is listed as coming with a 500 GB hard drive, but you can also easily install a 750 GB HARD drive if you want a little more space - readers at the following links are examples that would be perfect for your laptop.

    Hard drive 500 GB

    750 GB hard drive.

    The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 56 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new HARD drive, there are two options - my personal preference would be the 2nd option wouldn't it because it does not any price.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a very respected source (Digital River).

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • Simcoaster installation won't start not

    Simcoaster I think about 7 years, I have received? There are. I'm COMPLETELY sure I ran Simcoaster in Windows Vista. Since January, I restored to Windows Vista from Windows 8 CP (overview of consumption), and I think that Simcoaster ran on Windows 8 CP just using the parameters of compatibilly. Even on Windows Vista, I used compatibilliy settings on this game.

    This is the problem with Simcoaster:

    Once that I first start the installation for Simcoaster, it shows the picture of the installation and configuration of loading for 3 seconds, and then I disappear. I had some other installation issues with this game before Windows XP (for example a file not work/installation fault). Once you answer, please don't tell Simcoaster does not work on Windows Vista, because Simcoaster did work on Vista.

    Thanks for posting

    Fix Windows 7 for Simcoaster! Problem solved!

    Probably also works for 8 but I have not tested.

    To install:
    1. find an online of SimCoaster activation code.
    2. turn OFF your internet connection

    3 insert the disc. If it starts by itself, close out of it. Go to the file for the cd. Right click on the file called "autorun" and go application in > properties > compatibility > defined on Windows XP (Service pack 3). Also change to run as administrator. Save the changes and close properties.

    4. start the autorun of application to install the game. You should be able to get the Installation Wizard of the shield to work. Do not run the game if you are prompted to start the game later, or a window pops up.

    TO PLAY:
    1. go in Program Files > Bullfrog > SimCoaster > looking for the application file called safe mode. Right click and go to properties > compatibility and change in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service pack 3). Don't need to run as administrator, but you can. Only run the game using the application in safe mode. This should avoid problems with graphics that you have had before.

    It should work fine, but I always suggest saving often, just in case :) I've scoured the web (including this message) to help without success... but now it works by following these steps! Yay! If you have already installed the game but you experience problems, uninstall and reinstall using these instructions.

  • Windows vista installation disc does not start.

    So I decided to wipe my hard drive and do a clean install of windows vista. It was working fine until after you have installed sp1. I restarted the computer, and there's just a black screen. I tried to launch the installation disc. He manages to pass the Microsoft corporation loading screen, the cursor appears and I can move it, but the screen remains black.

    When I reinstalled windows it says that the hard drive can fail quickly, so that he might be. If this is the case then I'll just disassemble the laptop and get a few parts.

    Hello

    If you got this message hard disk, perform a test of it.

    If it failed, you can always replace the hard drive and reinstall Vista, instead of demolition it.

    Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > search your computer specifications > know brand of hard drive > access the Hard Drive manufacturer's Web site > find and download hard drive Diagnostic software and make a record of start of it on the computer that you use to get here, following their instructions > test your hard drive to see if it has failed.

    You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.

    Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.

  • Satellite C660 does not start - OS found no - where to get the installation disc?

    I replaced the drive HARD in my laptop Toshiba C660 - following an audit of management indicated the former was dead. Initially, the laptop comes with the Toshiba Logo then begins to scroll and ends with "OS not found".

    I don't have a recovery disc / USB. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I assume that Exchange of HARD drive has been successfully. What you can do is to open the BIOS settings and check if the HARD drive is recognized correctly.
    Now, you must install the operating system. If you n t have original recovery media, you can install the OS using the Microsoft installation disc.

  • Unable to start XP in safe mode, stuck at mup.sys; BSOD with installation disc

    My computer is a computer laptop Asus eeePC 1000H with no material changes and default OS. I left the machine all night and came to see the machine with the error text:

    "Reboot and select proper boot device."
    "or Insert Boot Media in some boot device and press a key.

    Restart in safe mode gave me the same error, except that I could see that the boot process failed at mup.sys.

    Then I tried to repair my installation by using a Windows XP installation disc so I could use the Recovery Console, but I got a BSOD and error:

    STOP 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0XF75DE0BF, 0XF7A2A208, 0XF7A29F08)
    PCI.sys-address F75DE0BF base at F75D7000 Datestamp 3b7d855c

    I have turned off unnecessary equipment in the BIOS and still have the same result. The next step here is to erase completely the machine and retemplate TI - something I'm eager to avoid.

    I've been surfing on support forums all morning and I noticed that there is a spike in people with this problem. Is there a virus going around or was there a windows update last night? I use McAfee if it makes a difference.

    From your description of the problem, it sounds like the hardware failure, no software (virus). First test the drive and RAM. Since you don't have a CD player with eeePCs, you need to use bootable USB based on keys of an external optical drive or troubleshooting tools. Or, if the computer is under warranty, contact Asus support.

    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot

    If you can not do the test yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).

  • How can I determine why my netbook won't start in Windows XP Home Edition?

    I have a netbook Acer Aspire One A0751h multiboot, which recently stopped starting in Windows XP Home (SP3).

    I have NOT a CD Windows XP Home OEM (because the netbook does not comes with one).  I can boot from an external USB CD/DVD drive, but this does not help me much because I do not have a Windows XP Home OEM CD.

    My boot (GRUB) menu allows me to start in:

    • Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (which would be defective, even in safe mode - it crashes after loading the driver for agpCPQ.sys)
    • Windows Vista (loader) (Acer recovery Partition)
    • Ubuntu 11.04 (various kernels - currently 2.6.38 - 11-generic (Natty Narwhal))

    If I try to start Windows XP, it hangs up the PC (even in safe mode).

    If I boot on the Acer Recovery Partition, I have the options to wipe my system back to factory settings, or move my user data to c:\backup and reinstall Windows (or what is desirable from a distance).

    If I boot to Ubuntu, I can mount the Windows Partition to/media/ACER in two clicks.

    How do I:

    1. find out why Windows crashes and won't boot (can't connect to the faulty startup? I tried boot logging and impossible to find a newspaper)?
    2. Difficulty of Windows (I've already scanned the drive under Linux to find errors, and he comes clean)?

    If I have to, I can back up my content from the boot drive in Ubuntu, but I tell myself that I should be able to fix my Ubuntu system just as easily (SHOULD be the keyword).  Remember, I can access all the files on my computer from Ubuntu.

    Help!

    EDIT: Note that I JUST found that I can boot from a Windows XP Professional OEM CD and enter a recovery console.  Not that this helps me a lot, I can handle files of Ubuntu.

    Hello

    Try the following.

    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, your laptop is listed as coming from a 64-bit installation...

    Windows 7 32 bit

    Windows 7 64 bit

    You must use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn options) to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

    When creating, type following the ESC key as soon as you start the launch of the laptop Boot Menu, and then insert the rescue CD.  Select the Boot Menu options ( 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.

    Select the "Repair your computer" option and follow Option 2 in the guide on the link below to run the Startup Repair - you may need to run this 2 or 3 times.

    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.
