keep getting a 0xc000000e boot error after factory restore on dell lap
I replaced bad hard drive on a Dell Inspiron laptop, was able to create boot disks so did a complete factory install, after first boot is where I get the boot error, and only way to fix to get back to windows is with a MS win7 boot disk and let it do any automatic boot repair.
Now I can get to windows but have lost the factory "F8" repair my computer prompt, tried the AutoSetupfailover.cmd found in this thread Restoring Vista to a Windows 7 laptop after changing the recovery partition to give it a drive letter D:, got the factory restore "F8" back, but when I try it, it just boots into windows.
Any help would be appreciated!
