Sorry if this is in the wrong thread. If it is, please move it to a more proper one, thanks!
Today I went to turn on my laptop and got the following error message on startup:
"File:\boot\BCD Status: 0xc00000e9 unexpected I/O error has occurred" and it says that it could be caused by removing a removable storage device while in use. At the top is a bar saying "Windows Boot Manager". I looked around the interwebs and found similar stories where the hard drive had just completely failed. Because I am using an OEM installed OS (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) I can not do a repair install without a specific hard drive partition.
Bios still sees the hard drive and Windows setup driver browsing sees the boot partition so I'm not sure if it is completely dead. If a repair install is all that is needed, and I know this is a long shot, but would I be able to use my non-OEM Windows 7 Home Premium x64 disc to do the repair, even though this is ultimate? The Laptop is only about a week old so I'm quite angry that it would fail so early in its life. Thank you in advance for your help.
EDIT: Booted up recovery disc for home premium. This allows me to at least access command prompt for the boot partition. If there is a specific command that could help fix this, please tell me. Thanks!
