Laptop Cannot Boot Into Windows, Possible 0xc000000f Boot Failure
May 1, 2012whenever I turn on the laptop, it seems to boot into Windows 7, in that the "Starting Windows" text appears and the little animation of colors forming the logo shows, but as some point it fails. This message appears on screen:autocheck not found - skipping AUTOCHECK After a few seconds a BSOD shows up, but too fast for me to make out what it says. It used to, but after some hasty fix attempts no longer does, cycle around to a menu that informed me of this error:Status: 0xc000000f Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible. Here's the longer history:As some point in the past I decided to try out dual-booting Windows 7 and Linux on the laptop. I got it to a state where this worked fine. I had partitions roughly as follows:[Ubuntu][Windows 7]([Data and files][Boot]) The parentheses denote a logical partition. The Boot partition was very small and only held what was necessary to launch GRUB. This week, I realized that I hardly ever used the Linux partition and decided to get rid of it to reclaim storage space. This is where the trouble begins. I rebooted into a thumb drive that could run GParted and modified the hard drive layout in the following steps: Delete the Ubuntu partition Delete the Boot partition Grow the Data/Files partition to take up the space left by Boot Shrink the Windows 7 partition to make it faster to move Move the Windows 7 partition to the front of the volume Expand it to take up the remaining space. What I ended up with was: [Windows 7]([Data and files]) My naive and fatal mistake was to trust that the Windows Repair CD could fix any boot issues, and also that there would be no catastrophic hardware failures. Both of these assumptions turned out to be false.
First, the laptop's CD/DVD drive has either broken or is too unreliable to use. I have noticed it becoming more and more unstable over time, but now (when I need it most!) it simply does not seem to want to spin up and function at all. This forced me to create a Windows Repair USB drive. However, I can't load any installation media. This is because the laptop did not come with an install DVD. It had a recovery sector, which I cannibalized for the Linux partition. I did copy the stock recovery stuff to a series of DVDs, but, well...This is all to say that any solution that requires a DVD drive is straight out until I can replace it, which I'd like to consider a last resort.My expectations for the Windows Repair CD/USB have been dashed. Attempting to automatically fix boot issues either fails for some specific reason (I can probably reproduce it and provide the details, if necessary), with a dialog to send a report, or fails because it cannot detect any problems. I have tried a variety of things based on my own research to fix this through the command prompt: Running chkdsk /x /r on all drives. Does not find any errors. Running various bootrec commands: /fixmbr, /fixboot, /rebuildbcd, /scanos. All complete successfully, but the last 2 report finding 0 Windows installations. Using bcdboot and bootsect to recreate the bootloader. Again, no errors result, but it does not fix the issue. I guess it should have been obvious that none of the boot record fixes would matter, since the laptop does boot into Windows 7, briefly.
Cannot Boot Laptop / Windows Can't Find Any Hardrive To Boot OS
Dec 27, 2012Today when I was surfing on my laptop (G74S Series) I wanted to restart the laptop because the internet crashed and it usually helps to restart. But I restarted it holding down the power button thing.So, I restarted it and while I was waiting, staring in to the screen, the blinking "_" thing when you start up was doing that for a while and nothing was happening, and a couple of seconds later the computer tells me that it can't boot the laptop/pc because no drive was found. I saw an error code but I didn't catch it, but it was something like "0x0000".So then on later, it sent me in to "Image Restore" But I have no image to restore with, so I cancel it, and then it sends me into the menu where. I can choose to "Restore Computer" or "Scan for startup errors" or something like that (I don't really have a such accurate memory.)And on the top it also says "os unknown on (unknown) local disk".Everytime I start the computer it sends me to that menu where I can choose to restore my computer etc..And I can't really do much about it since I don't have the windows 7 disc/dvd thing either.And this all came all so sudden I don't really know what to do.I don't have any backu or anything, and windows can only detect my /D: drive and not /C:, and I have my OS on /C/

Nov 18, 2012I have another laptop from Dell that has Windows 7 OS. Within the past couple of days it started rebooting on it's own. Now it boots to a black screen with a flashing cursor in the upper left hand corner. I have gone into the setup and noticed that it was trying to boot from Diskette, then CD/DVD and finally the Hard drive. I changed it to boot from Hard drive, but still received the same problem. I ran the diagnostics and received Code 4400:011A in one of the results after the diagnostics finished. Could the hard drive be going? Do I need to reinstall the operating system? I also tried to do a repair after using the reinstallation CD but it shows that I have no restore point and said it could not be repaired.

Feb 18, 2011I have a Windows 7 DVD that I want to use to format a laptop (and reinstall Windows 7 on it), however, the laptop won't boot from the DVD. It shows the flashing cursor for 2 minutes and then boots the HDD.
The DVD does boot on my non-laptop PC.
Edit: Apparently, the DVD won't show up in Windows' Computer either. Is the DVD drive dead?
HP Laptop Will Not Boot Into Windows 7
Dec 27, 2012I have an 2 year old HP Pavillion dv7-4165dx entertainment Lapton triple core AMD chip. A few days ago, I plugged the laptop to my Big screen to watch Hulu, well it took me a few mins to get the audio to respond correctly, BTW this was not my first time plugging to the Big Screen. While watching the programs noticed there were a few freezes, unplugged the HDMI cord, screen never went back to single monitor mode, so I did a hard reset. Laptop took a little longer than normal to load into windows but it got there.
Firefox was running a little buggy so I went to check the antivirus program, Trend Micro 2012 Titanium and the its not running nor can I open the console. Checked for a restore point, there was none left. Rebooted into safe mode check Trend Micro still has the same issue, still unable to restore. Finally, reboots once more and computer goes into start windows normally or start windows repair (recommended), starting normally and repair gets you to the same place the HP recovery manager that does not work.
One takes a little longer than the other, I have tried all the options on the recovery manager panel none seem to work. So during research I found that I could download Systemssweeper (now Windows defender) by MS and boot to CD Drive and scan for viruses. Accomplished few viruses found, cleaned rebooted, went back to HP recovery manager, same results nothing working. Unmounted the HD, plugged to a working laptop, used local antivirus, no viruses.
Removed all information needed i.e. photos, music, important files, etc. Downloaded Malware Bytes, on the working laptop, scanned the HD, as an external, few malware programs found and cleaned. Downloaded Superantispyware, on the working laptop, scanned the HD, as an external, few tracking cookies found and cleaned. Mounted HD back into laptop, tried to load into safe mode, laptop just black screened with a revolving wheel for 8 hours.
Last item I tried was EBCD, but that program did not give me anything better than booting into Safe mode w/ cmd prompt. Also went into F8 menu to load Safe, Cmd Prompt, recovery, tried them all. I am not a programmer so I do not understand how to use Dos to access the information I need. I know basic commands. I would prefer not to wipe/restart but if that is the last option I am not opposed to it.
Windows 7 Won't Boot On Laptop
Feb 11, 2013When I turn my laptop on, instead of loading Windows 7 like normal, it goes to a screen saying that Windows failed to start and a recent hardware or software change might be the cause. It then gives me two options, if I try to run it as normal it just goes back to the same screen and if I choose launch start-up repair, it gets frozen on a blue screen with a white bird. I have tried to load it in safe mode, it just goes back to the screen again, and I have tried using a start-up repair disc, but this also becomes stuck on the blue screen with the bird.

A recent hardware or software change might be the cause I have two options Launch Startup repair (recommended) or start windows normally. When I choose the Launch startup repair it says windows is loading files and then it shows a black screen with a mouse cursor, I can move the cursor but nothing loads.

Can't Boot Into Windows 7 64-bit Acer Laptop
Apr 9, 2012Boot normally -- it hangs on "Starting Windows" animation forever. Boot safe mode -- it bluescreens.
Boot with a recovery CD (or try Repair Installation directly without a CD) -- it hangs on the green loading bar forever.
I dual-boot Ubuntu and can get into the Ubuntu partition fine so I don't think anything is necessarily wrong with the harddrive, but the Ubuntu partition is tiny and I rarely use it and can't access my Windows files anyway.
Is there anything I can try that'll help repair whatever happened? I just want to run a checkdisk utility or something similar that'll repair whatever got botched.

May 2, 2011I am trying to fix a laptop and keep running into problems. Originally the message was BOOTMGR not found and to restart. So I put in the Windows 7 disk to try a repair...and it didn't find an OS to select in the list. I ran a bunch of stuff and finally got an OS to show up but windows still would not start stating winload was missing or corrupt. This time when I went into the repair utility it found the OS and I ran the automated fix...but that didn't resolve the issue. So I tried bootrec /fixmbr and /fixboot. At first fixboot stated that it could not run. So I saw something around to make the manufacturer partition inactive and to run the command...did that and fixboot ran. However, now it does not find the OS again and I'm back to the BOOTMGR missing. Not even sure where to go now or try doing.

Dell Laptop Won't Boot Normally Or In To Safe Mode Windows 7?
Jan 1, 2012I'm working on my brother's girlfriend's Dell Inspiron 1764 that will begin to start windows and then immediately goes back to the post screen. I have tried to do a system restore, and recover from a system image... but of course she has made neither of these backups. The laptop will not load windows in safe mode and i have also tried to disable driver signature enforcement. I'm not exactly sure what happened before the failure, but i know my brother installed a Honda data logging program called HONDATA right before it crashed so I am suspecting some sort of driver issues. Is there anything else i can do besides the full Dell system restore that would wipe all of her data?

Sep 28, 2012First, the information as it is. I had a hard drive issue that I'm working on currently, trying to recover I suppose what is a crashed hard drive. There are tons of errors on it, but that's not the question I have right at the moment, but some background.
I have tried to reinstall Windows on a brand new 2.5" Seagate 500GB 7200rpm HDD. I formatted the drive using the windows 7 ultimate installer and booted it using a USB booter made from the windows 7 download tool.
When I booted it up and tried to get it going, it gave me a hardware error saying "Windows wasn't able to configure the hardware and try startup repair" or something to that effect. I read around and it said that since my BIOS says the HD is in raid configuration that it needed some Intel Raid driver, which I installed and tried running, but it didn't seem to work. It says now "windows cannot repair this computer automatically". The problem signature is as follows:
