Windows failed to start 0xc000000f
Hi,
I have a windows 7 home prem refurbished pc 32 bit. And when I start the system I get the following message.
Boot Manager:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1.Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.
2.Choose your language settings, and then click "Next".
3.Click "Repair your computer."
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
It started with an ipod that was plugged in and the pc would not recognise. Then upon startup the system would not accept the password to login.
I have tried a win 7 32bit repair disk burnt from another machine, but it is saying windows cannot repair the pc? I have read a few threads on here and have tried a few things (!) diskpart, chkdsk, bootrec etc.
I’m not sure what I am doing and I am no further forward!
Help from anyone would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance
Michael
