0x000000f \Boot\BCD Error
Like the title says I have the 0x000000f error. The problem is that I have done the usual steps but I never get a System Recovery Menu. I put in a recovery disk and changed it in BIOS to load from cd drive. Restart and it loads from cd. Does the white bar and says loading windows files. Then I get the green scrolling bar loading screen...then nothing. Black screen, it is lit though, and the hard drive light gets into a steady blinking rhythm and sounds like the cd disk quits spinning. I left it alone for approx 30 and still nothing.
Any suggestions? Am I using the wrong version? The recovery disk was made by someone else and is x64, but I'm not entirely sure what my version is.
And I did try f8 at start up screen, but it was a no go.
- x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? Not sure - the original installed OS on the system? Windows 7 - an OEM or full retail version? OEM - OEM = came pre-installed on system - Full Retail = you purchased it from retailer - What is the age of system (hardware)? Yearish - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) No. This is first problem.
- It is a Dell Inspiron N5010.
Many thanks.
