Dell Windows 7 Boot Disk will not function (0xc0000001)
Hi All,
I'm running into a significant amount of trouble trying to re-install my copy of Windows 7 Professional (x64). I recieved my new Dell Studio 1557 yesterday, and was installing all my new software etc only to be met with a various and (pretty much) unsolvable blue screen error about 12 hours into the process.
Anyway, after an agonising few hours on the phone with Dell Customer Support, they suggested that I do a clean/manual install of the O/S from the Boot Disk I was provided.
I have attempted to do this several times now, selecting F12 as the computer restarts and choosing to boot from CD/DVD drive. However, each time I am met with this error:
Would copying the boot CD contents to a USB HDD, then booting from there help?0xc0000001
FILE: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe
"The selected entry could not be loaded..."
If anyone is able to help me out with this, that would be fantastic. It's so frustrating that I just bought a new system, and already it's died!!!!
Cheers,
Ben.
