    Unable to start Windows, error 0xc00000e9


    Hello everyone. I have a notebook that had Windows 8 64bit preinstalled. I uninstalled it and installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and Ubuntu. Everything went fine, and I used both of them for 2 months.
    Today Windows won't start.

    Here's the screen that comes out when I select sda2 in grub2:



    And this is the error that I get when I follow the instructions provided (same dvd used to install the OS):



    I also tried to change the default OS on Ubuntu, but I still get that error.
    Please help me.

    Hi Albert, Welcome to Seven forums.

    error- 0xc00000e9, mostly result in bad hard drive. I am not saying that you have one. But, that what I have seen.

    First thing you got to do is check the disk for errors. Here's how you do that. Disk Check

    After completing the check. Do a system repair, here is the link for that Startup Repair

    Make sure you have your retail Windows 7 installation disk or system repair disc ready before you do this and selected that as your first boot device.

    Thank you for your answer.
    Since I could not login into windows to check the disk, I used a "Windows Repair Disk".
    After it stops loading his files, this is what I get:



    Same error code as before.

    Ok, I managed to run an hard disk check from hp itself, and this is what I got:



    I guess the hard disk is somewhat damaged. Can you confirm it?
