After Partition Changes, 0xc0000225 and cannot boot
So i had two partitions on a physical disk, and wanted to delete the first and enlarge the second. I usually use gparted off the ubuntu live cd because it completely separates itself from windows details and allows a lot of disk changes in one interface; no conflicts. I moved forward with my changes and rebooted the computer.
I now find myself standing at this boot screens with error 0xc0000225 and a "corrupt" /boot/bcd file. Googling that information, the first hit was a solution about using gparted and getting this error. I thought perfect, but going through the steps, i still have no resolve. I have now been in and out of every boot problem thread on the internet and cannot figure it out. I have tried:
- windows 7 repair startup tools
- rebuilding the bcd from scratch
- bootrec /fixmbr and /fixboot
When i boot into ubuntu or repair mode, i can browse the file system fine. i can see the /boot files, create a new bcd file, and so on. One thing to mention is every test i have tried yeilds the same consistent error. The error has not changed whatsoever. My assumption is not that the /bcd file is corrupt or configured wrong (as the gparted solution/post suggested), but rather my disk is jacked and it cant find any data.
Any help pls?
