BSOB lost power during windows recovery, error 0xc000000f
I got this used laptop from a friend for a steal because it needed a new power cord.
HP Pavillion Dv4 AMD vision 2.00ghz dual, 320gb western digital HD
So the first thing I did after I replaced the power cord was to start a system recovery (through HP's Cyberlink recovery manager) to wipe the computer and start fresh (reinstalling windows from Partition)
Halfway through the reinstalling of windows I accidentally pulled out the power cord!!! Computer died instantly!! Idiot!
Now every time I start the computer I get this..........
Boot Manager:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1.Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.
2.Choose your language settings, and then click "Next".
3.Click "Repair your computer."
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
I don't have an installation disk..
I have a windows 7 repair disk that I used...
In the system recovery options my Operating System comes up as "Windows Setup" not Windows 7...
I still have access to the Recovery Manager and the command prompt but every time I access the recovery manager I no longer have the option to perform a system recovery (greyed out). I only have the option to do a Microsoft System Restore, which when I run it, it says No restore points have been created.
I am thinking that the driver for the Hard Drive somehow got lost, don't really know just guessing.....
I tried the load driver option in the system recovery options but I cant find a driver and don't really know where to look.
Any help on what to do next would be appreciated......
Thanks!!!!!
