Boot Issues with W7 - Help Please
I am unable to boot Windows 7 - all has been going very well until today - I need some help please.
Relatively new PC and all non-essential peripherals disconnected. I have 2 SSD 240GB Drives, plenty of RAM etc. Memory test completed successfully. W7 running on the C Drive, and other stuff [games etc] on the other [E Drive]. Boot menu in UEFI BIOS shows : P4: HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW CH12NS30 P3: KINGSTON SV300S37A240G P1: KINGSTON SV300S37A240G When started I get : "failed to start ... Insert installation Disk.... Click Repair etc. Status 0xc000000e If I then boot from Installation disk all goes as expected until I click "Repair you computer" . It returns "Windows7, Partition Size 0MB, Location Unknown". Progressing to the "Choose Recovery Tool" where I select StartUp Repair I then get : "Start Up Repair cannot repair this Computer automatically" followed by : Problem signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385 Problem signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385 Problem signature 03: unknown Problem signature 04: -1 Problem signature 05: ExternalMedia Problem signature 06: 1 Problem signature 07: CorruptBootConfigData OS Version 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 Locale ID 1033 The relevant "Diagnostic and Repair Details" shown are : Session Details :System Disk = \Device\Harddisk0 Windows dIrectory = AutoChk Run = 0 Number of Root Causes = 1 The following various test all show successful completion except the last vis : Root cause found : Boot configuration is corrupt. Repair action : Partition Table Repair. Result : failed Error Code = 0x490 If anyone can guide me as to where to from here then that would be great. Thanks, Mike Ody |
