BCD boot error, can't boot from any device
Hi everyone,
I have been working on this problem for many days now and I'm getting hopeless.
Actually one day, for no reason, when I booted I got this error :
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware change or software might be the cause...
File : \boot\bcd
Status : 0xc000000f
Info : an error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration.
Now I can't manage to boot from any device. My OS is installed on my ssd. And my data on a classic HDD. I can't boot from any of them nor from a brand new ssd.
I read that I could try some commands in the prompt (bootrec /fixmbr etc) but I can't even access the prompt.
When I try to boot from a bootable USB drive or the windows install cd I get nearly the same error :
File : boot\bcd
Status : 0xc00000e9
Info : An unexpected I/O error has occurred.
The only things that I can do is to access the BIOS and UEFI shell prompt but I couldn't manage to do anything from it.
In the BIOS, I can see that all my devices are recognised but I can't boot from any.
I tried a CMOS reset but it didn't change anything. Is it possible that my mothercard is dead even though the BIOS works fine ?
Sorry for my mistakes, English is not my mother tongue and I'm writing from my phone.
TL ; DR : Can't boot from any ssd/hdd nor windows 7 install Cd
Hope you can help :)
