Windows failed to start - 0xc000000e -AutoRepair doenst help
Hello,
I'm using:
Windows 7 Pro 64Bit
for a while without a problem.
After creating a backup of an external hdd using acronis true image 10 I get the folllowing error when booting from the internal HDD that worked for years:
Windows Boot Manager:
Windows failed to start. A Recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your langugae settings, and then click next
3. Click "repair your computer."
Status: 0xc000000e
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
So I tried differnent things people advised here and in other forums.
Booted from Windows7-DVD and proceeded to "Repair My Computer"
The OS found was named as "Windows7 (recovered)"
After doing Auto-Repair (several times) the startup error still persists.
In the Win7 debug shell I tried:
chkdsk /f and got:
"file system is NTFS.
the current drive cannot be locked.
checkdisk cannot be executed on this volume because it is write protected."
After that I also tried:
bootrec.exe /FixMbr
bootrec.exe /FixBoot
Also didnt help.
What to try next?
