windows boot fail, can only enter BIOS
OS: windows 7 64 home premium
CPU: i7 3770 MOBO: ASUS P7Z77_M HDD: Seagate 2TB RAM: kingston hyperX 16 gb alright, so i had an issue with deleting a steam folder that was corrupted. after googling a while i learned i should run chkdsk (checkdisk) when you rightclick on your hdd 'properties, under tools tab' etc. so after that i just rebooted my pc and everything was normal, i could delete the folder. then i got a few windows updates, which i just ran. and rebooted normally. after a while, surfing a bit, then playing a videogame, my computer just crashed with bluescreen. ever since then i couldnt boot up my pc normally again. i do manage to get the BIOS screen, then the windows logo 'loading', but then it just gets me a blue screen again. so the errors on the blue screen im getting is: ntkrnlpa.exe 0xc0000098 and something along these lines: STOP: 0x0000007E (0xFFFFFFFFC000000S , 0xFFFFF88000E0DE3A, 0XFFFFF880009A8B78, 0xFFFFF880009A83D0) wdf01000.sys - Adress FFFFF88000E0DE3A it might be worth mentioning i had intel rapid storage techonlogy, which uses an ssd for caching. i thought this was the problem, and removed the ssd but no results. I've tried some system recovery methods, like the bootup autofixer or system restore point but they failed aswell. after reading something about MBR: ' bootrec.exe /FixMbr ' (source:How to Fix Windows 7 When It Fails to Boot) i decided to give that a try. i managed to get back to my desktop. but everytime i restarted i would just get blue screen again, then had to enter bootrec.exe /fixmbr in the command prompt from the recovery console, everytime. then i decided to reinstall windows 7. and the installation broke down midway giving me the same error. now im stuck in a cycle where i just enter bios then get the error on startup, and then reboot. if i try to go safe mode it comes with 'Windows cannot complete the installation in safe mode. to continue installing windows, restart the computer.' and now i cant even get to recovery console/options anymore. if i use my 60 gb 'corsair' SSD as HDD i get the same error. for clarification ive been trying to use an 'seagate' 2 TB HDD first. i've gotten this pc for only about 1 year.... |

i've already tried that,
any of the options i listed will bring me to a screen with : 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 your 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. file: \windows\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe status: 0xc00000098 info: windows failed to load because the kernal is missing, or corrupt. |

Yes once it has completed downloading . Inside your Downloads folder . Place an empty DVD inside your disc drive . Right click the file and choose Burn disc image . On the window that comes up place a check next to Verify disc after burning and click the Burn button
