    windows boot manager


    Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:

    1. Insert your windows installion disc and restart your computer.
    2. Choose your language setting, 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.

    File: \Boot\BCD

    Status: 0xc0000098

    Info: This windows Boot Configuration Data file does not contain a valid OS entry.

    F8 will only function if the system can find the operating system to begin with.
    This is more than likely the result of:
    a - an aggressive virus.
    b - a hard disk failure.

    The windows disk should load regardless of either of those possibilities though. Since you have only filled out your operating system in the system specs portion of your profile here, I can't give anymore direct instruction. I can only assume the windows disk is not launching because the hard drive has been set as the first boot device in the bios. Without knowing more system specifics, I can't give detailed instructions for fixing that problem.
