Windows 7: Boot Manager Status 0xc000000f, boot selection failed.
Hello,
I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
Yesterday I accidentally 'killed' csrss.exe. Then, after a bluescreen, my computer restarted and I got the following message:
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.
So I tried that, but when I clicked "Repair your computer", I got another error message:
System Recovery Options
This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of Windows.
Then I opened a command promt by pressing Shift+F10 and typed 'chkdsk /r /f d:'(all the other ones were ok) and got
The type of this file system is NTFS.
Corrupt master file table. Windows will attempt to recover
master file table from disk.
Windows cannot recover master file table. CHKDSK aborted.
Failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50.
Bootrec /FixMbr and Bootrec /FixBoot didn't do anything either.
After that I rebooted to a gParted live CD and got a Warning;
ntfs_mst_post_read_fixup_warn: magic 0x44414142 size:
1024 usa_ofs:29774 usa_count: 28517: Invalid argument
Record 0 has no FILE Magic (0x44414142)
Failed to load $MFT: Input/output error
Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Input/output error
NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot
it TWICE!
The usage of the /f parameter is very IMPORTANT! No
modification was
made to NTFS by this software.
Unable to read the contents of this file system!
Because of this some operations may be unavailable.
The cause might be a missing software package.
The following list of software packages is required for ntfs file
system support: ntfsprogs / ntfs-3g.
After I (unsuccessfully) tried chkdsk /f again I rebooted to some random Linux Mint 13 Live CD.
There I tried gParted again - with pretty much the same result - and then installed testdisk
(sudo apt-get install testdisk), started it, and selected (Append - "Disk /dev/sda - 1000GB / 931 GiB - ST1000DM003-9YN162" - EFI GTP - Advanced - "2 P MS Data 48992 245762047 245293056" - List)
where I got
Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged.
[Rebuild BS]/[Repair MFT] under Boot didn't fix it either.
That's not all I did but I don't remeber everything.
So can I fix this somehow or at least get some of my files back?
