Ive tried everything I know. Windows wont boot past the loading screen. None of the other modes work, including repair. I tried reinstalling windows (i done it about a month ago due to a different problen) and it wont load. The hard drive is still viewable in bios and I was fiddling with the menus on boot and found this error message 0xc0000225. I am way out of my depth here and could use some help.
Edit: running windows 7 on a samsung laptop.
I.managed to get into the repair part of the windows CD. What should i do here?
Hello Sulleygold,
Have you tried the SFC /SCANNOW command?
If not please do so.
- Go to the command prompt.
- Type "sfc /scannow" without quotations.
- Let SFC do it's thing, and when done repeat the process up to five times.
There is also a very good tutorial in the tut section, but as I am posting this from my phone, I am unable to link it or use advanced BBCode.
Good luck and keep us posted,
Nommy
hey nommy. Tried a few things. Went to startup repair and it said there were disk errors. It restarted now it says bootmgr is missing.
Hello Sulleygold,
I am back to my computer now:)
Can you still get in startup repair?
If so, please run chkdsk;
- Go to Command Prompt.
- type "chkdsk /f C:" without the quotations and replace C with the letter of your hard drive.
- Reboot your machine and navigate back to Command Prompt.
- Try the "SFC /SCANNOW" command again.
For the SFC command, please check method 2 in this tutorial.
You will also want to have a look at our troubleshooting guide for an unbootable Windows 7, this is the link.
Good luck and keep us posted,

Chkdsk is now doing something but I dont know what because its in japanese :|
Still says bootmgr is missing. :/ guess ill have to try that guide. It seems pretty confusing/daunting.
Start up repair says boot manager is missing or corrupt. It failed to repair it.
That didnt help either. Still says its missing. What shoulf I do now? :/
