Windows failed to start! After Reformat Status: 0xc000000f
I have a Windows 7 home professional 64bit. Its a gateway NV55S17U. And when I start the system I get the following message.
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 the 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.
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
The error occurred after using reformatting my computer.] I did not have the recovery disc so I ordered one from Acer for the gateway. I inserted the recovery disc 1 of 3 and booted up my computer again. It did not recognize the disc and the dame boot message above appeared. I tried to change the boot order for the CD/DVD disc drive and make it the first device booted. That did not work either. All help is appreciated.
Thanks.
