USB installation error 0xc000014c
Hello!
I recently wiped my computer hard drives and created a boot up USB to reinstall the OS. I have used this method before and it worked then.
However, this time when booting from the USB the computer showed this error:
"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 language settings, and then click "next"
3. Click "repair your computer".
If you do not have the disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000014c
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data."
I have tried rebooting from the USB numerous times and changed the start up order around, but neither could fix this error. The computer is an Acer desktop and I am installing Windows Home Premium x64 Service Pack 1. I have no access to an installation disc. Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you for reading.
