Cannot boot or repair Windows 7 x64; error 0xc0000225
Hi. I desperately need help recovering Windows 7. I am receiving the following error:
0xc0000225
I have an Asus Zenbook ultrabook without a optical drive. However, I have attempted to create a recovery USB stick a dozen or so times with both recovery and Win7 ISOs I downloaded. It loads but every single time I receive a message that it is 'not compatible' with my version of Windows. My windows license says I have 'Windows 7 Home Prem OA for Asus'. My only thought is that 'for Asus' is the problem here, but I really have no idea.
I can also load a copy of Ubuntu I have on another USB stick, but I am not educated enough to understand how I can fix this problem from within Linux either, without step by step instructions.
I'd really appreciate any help or advice. Thanks in advance. :)
