Windows Boot Manager error 0xc000000e
Hi all,
I am almost too embarrassed to post this but now it has come to the point where I'd rather be embarrassed than smash my laptop on to my head repeatedly.
I changed laptops and ended up using a 250gb hdd I had been using as an external hdd as the primary and sole hdd in my old MSI GX600. What began as a simple process became an unending nightmare where it became literally impossible for me to install windows on it through usb boot drive. The optical drive no longer works so the only option i have is USB.
I did manage to install Linux Mint on it through USB boot, but utterly failed at a windows install. At this point the laptop has win7 x86 installed (by a repair shop) and I wish to make a clean installation of win 7 x64, but that is proving to be impossible. No matter what source of iso I use or what tool I use, I keep seeing this screen when I try to boot from USB. I keep seeing this screen at boot whenever I boot from win7 bootable usb. (In this latest event, I was using Digital river ISO and used both the official microsoft tool as well as unetbootin multiple times)
What could I be doing wrong?
