    0xc000000e - Partition Table Repair - corrupted F:\windows


    Silly me, I just saw the instructions here on how to post which I somehow missed before:

    Is Windows 7 Professional
    - x64 (64 bit)
    - the original installed OS on the system? yes
    - an OEM version
    - OEM = NOT pre-installed - I installed myself when I build machine

    - age of system (hardware): almost exactly 1 year old
    - age of OS installation: almost exactly 1 year old also
    - have you re-installed the OS?: no, I have never re-installed the OS

    How do I get the dump files from a machine that won't load past the BIOS???



    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    I haven't seen any recent threads on this so here is the situation:


    I had a failed Service Pack Install so I ran both the Chkdsk C: /f function and a sfc /scannow System File checker functions as described in this article about Fixing a Failing Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Install.

    I then installed and ran the Windows Update Readiness Tool.
    Upon a 3rd reboot, I get the following error: 0cx000000e

    I used the System Recovery Options from the Windows 7 Install Disk and the Startup Repair has diagnosed:

    Test Performed:
    Name: Check for updates
    Result: Completed successfully. Error code 0x0.
    Time Taken = 0 ms

    Test Performed:
    Name: System disk test
    Result: Completed successfully. Error code 0x0.
    Time Taken = 0 ms

    Test Performed:
    Name: Disk failure diagnosis
    Result: Completed successfully. Error code 0x0.
    Time Taken = 109 ms

    Test Performed:
    Name: Disk metadata test
    Result: Completed successfully. Error code 0x0.
    Time Taken = 0 ms

    Root Cause Found:
    The Partition Table does not have a valid System Partition
    Repair Action: Partition Table Repair
    Result Completed Successfully. Error code 0x0.
    Time Taken = 1747 ms

    I opened the Command Prompt from the System Recovery Options and ran all the bootrec.exe tools. When I run the /ScanOs function, I get individual notifications following for each of the following saying the file is corrupt and unreadable:

    F:\Windows\assembly
    F:\Windows\Offline Web Pages
    F:\Windows\ModemLogs
    F:\Windows\PLA
    F:\Windows\Performance


    After some researching, I found this article from Microsoft Support:

    "WARNING: When Chkdsk detects problems with the file system and attempts to repair the damage, data loss can occur. Microsoft does not recommend running Chkdsk with the /f command-line switch unless you have a full backup of your hard disk. "

    Fortunately, I have a older full backup of this SSD boot drive. My questions are:
    - Is there a way I can repair these c: /f files from the System Recovery Options without having to re-install windows 7?
    - Do I have to do a New/Clean Install of Windows 7 just so I can do a restore from my backup?


    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
