I restarted my PC the other day (Dell XPS 8300) and then when it got the the Win7 login screen (the one where user profiles/pictures should be listed) a weird error message in wingdings font appeared. Eventually I learned to use a install/repair disc to use bcedit and bootrec from command line. Oddly, it seemed that my OS drive letter had changed from C: to E: . After a lot of research I removed a secondary hard disc I installed. The drive letter is now right, and the partition size seems right.y problem now is when windows starts I get an error saying that winload.exe cannot be verified. The error code is 0xc0000428. I've tried bootrec /fixmbr, /scanos, rebuildbcd/, /fixboot, with no luck. Same with start-up repair I understand that some people have been able to find a working winload replacement in /windows/system32 (sometimes called winload~1) but I don't seem to have luck.
I am having a problem (see title) and error code 0xc00000428 I am planning to have a a new install or reinstall or a COMPLETE REINSTALL of Windows 7 Ultimate.
So I installed Windows 7 yesterday, my previous OS was Windows Vista 64bit, but along the way I have been running into some problems, and I hope someone can help.
Before I go on, I would like to add I have tried alot of different solutions, changing CMD, Bootrec, FIXMBR, I unplugged my secondary HD and so on, and nothing have helped so far.
My problem is that I cant boot from my HD, I have formatted twice, I deleted a small parition of 8gb which had some OEM files on, I guess from Vista at that point, and I formatted my C: drive before the install, both times.
Now I can boot directly from my Windows 7 CD, and it does it smooth.
The following error I get after a boot from HD is this.
Winload.exe
0xc0000428
Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file
if I press enter on this screen, it takes me to the screen where you usually can press F8 for a menu, in this menu it only have "Windows Vista" and the Windows Diagnostic Tool if I press Tab.
If I press F8, it goes straight back to the Error.
I would like to add in the end, I did both try and run Vistabootpro 3.3 and easybcd, but to no avail.
I have added a small bcdedit copy I get in vista cmd http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/619/bootf.jpg
I have windows 7 on my laptop and I attempted to update my OS to windows 8, which was mounted to a blank DVD, in hopes of wiping everything due to continuous blue screens of death and automatic restarts. It looked like the installation was going to go through until the system restarted and the windows Boot Manager screen came up. It says the digital signature for this file couldn't be verified. When I boot up windows 7, system ecovery tools appear. Startup repair doesn't do any good. I can't restore because of no restore points. How can I revert back to get my laptop working again? I don't have a windows 7 boot disc
Well first of all I started up my PC and it immediately jumped into Startup Repair maybe cause I didn't shut it down properly. It went through the repair and several times. By then I knew something was wrong, I checked the Diagnostics and see what Startup Repair had actually done. It turns out it could not fix an error with the OS Loader.It came up with two error code (0x2) and (0x490).I followed the following instructions:
I also tried using /FixMBR and /FixBoot However none of these worked and my I tried booting up it came up with the same problem. I went back into the Windows 7 DVD and ran Startup Repair again. It said it was completed successfully but it said also if it doesn't boot then there's something wrong.Which leads to my new error screen that never goes away everytime I switch on the PC. The error message is as follows:A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source.If you have a Windows installation disc, insert the disc and restart your computer. Click "Repair You Computer," and then choose a recovery tool.Otherwise, to start Windows so you can investigate further, press the ENTER key to display the boot menu, press F8 for Advanced Boot Options, and select Last Known Good. If you understand why the digital signature cannot be verified and want to start Windows without this file, temporarily disable driver sginature enforcement.
File: WindowsSystem32Winload.exe Status: 0xc0000428 Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.
If I try and press ENTER it will take me to the boot menu and if I press ENTER to select an OS (I only have one) then it will jump back to the previous screen.
I had to sign for a Windows Live ID, which I did. I then clicked on the button to have it send me a verification email. When I got the email, it gave me a whole bunch of information about using Live ID, but didn't tell me how to verify my account. I went back to the website where I was attempting to post the question, and hit "Sign In." It gave me a place to fill in my emai and password, which I did. It then sent me back to the page where I'd entered my question. But when I clicked on the button to actually post the question up came the box saying I couldn't do that without setting up an account. Then it sent me to the page saying that my account had to be verified, and referred me to the email which was supposed to tell me how to do that, but didn't. This appears to be an endless loop.
my laptop started and installed my pc game sims 3 but before i could start told me that the computer couldnt verify whether it was the right game or not this is a brand new game how do i get my gasme to play for me?
I'm having some problems with event viewer. When I go to open it, it gives me the "Event Log service is unavailable. Verify that the service is running." error. I've tried going through the steps Microsoft gives for creating new log files if yours are corrupted. Problem is, the .evt file doesn't exist.
I've researched the problem a lot and I do have UxStyle Core installed which is patching the files necessary to install third party themes, and I have heard that this may cause some issues with the event log, but everyone I saw undo any patching and even rollback updates, go to previous restore points, etc.
I am unable to burn any image using window simage burner or roxio burnerwhen ever i write any image or any other thing to dvd. i get this error cuz i always verify after burning image or etc.i get this error :The disc image didn't burn successfully because an error occurred.

I have some pics on my laptop i am trying to delete, whenever i try to delete i always get this message "Could not find this item.Verify the item's location and try again."I tried unlocker and lockhunter but they dont work and i tried to delete them in safemode.
My hard drive recently died in my laptop. I have had it replaced and downloaded Windows 7 iso from Microsoft Dreamspark (as i am a student) and burned it to a CD. I have booted from the cd but it is keeps coming up saying "Windows Failed to start. A recent hardware ir software change might be the cause.File:windowssystem32ootwinload.exeStatus: 0xc0000001 Info: The selected entry could not be located because the application is missing or corrupt
So a couple of days ago my computer started to act up but this morning when i turned it on, i got a blue screen and it never wanted to turn on ever since. So i tried reinstalling Windows 7 again on the current system because i do not want to lose my pictures. Is there any way to fix this?
my comp all of a sudden reboots and the message i get is that windows failed to start because it cant verify the digital signature of CI.dll.Status: 0xc000042I do not have the installation disc. It is a dual booted computer with two identical windows 7 x64.I use dual boot to keep my Music Creation separated from my internet and gaming OS.
i have windows 7 Starter and bought the disk to upgarde it to windows professional, so i put dvd into dvd-unit... duh and after loading two white bars for secondary boot device it displays the hell message "winload is missing or corrupt..." i have already tried EVERYTHING on the forums and on the web including all the bootrec processes, rebuilt bcd, get a new copy of winload switching carpets, and modding BCD file to specify diferent routes for windows to search the file.. and yet nothing...I personally think the problem is that my C: drive it's partitioned in 3 one called system backup (wich is the standar recovery console for vaio, another partition of around 10 gb named System reserved and the free space where windows is located.

so i have my mums laptop which is a toshiba portege one of the old student laptops. it started getting the BSOD and then not being able to restart with it just keep going around in circles trying to boot saying that winload.exe is missing or corrupt with the error code 0xc0000001
it all requires you to be able to log into windows or safemode first. i have tried 2 seperate windows 7 discs that are proven to be good and an ubuntu disc and an xp and a repair disk. the windows 7 discs go to the "windows is loading files" and then to that error done it around 30 times. the xp and repair discs just stay on the blank screen with a flashing underscore and nothing will happen. the ubuntu disc can start up in a live session but when you try and install it it freezes at 5% and will never get passed it.
i put the hdd into another pc and done the command prompt partitioning and clearing as well as using gparted and went through all the discs again and all happened the same so i just went out and bought another hdd thinking that will fix it.
the new hdd makes no difference and i get the exact same results with the discs. i can get into the bios but i cannot get any further with anything, is there hope or is the pc messed up?
My Acer laptop is suddenly having this issue and will not boot into windows in any mode including safe mode. I tried using a recovery disc with no luck. I can get to the command prompt from the recovery disc and I tried fixboot and fixmbr with no results.
I'm getting the winload.exe missing or corrupted error, and I can't seem to find a fix for it if you have an oem computer, and thus no installation disk. I cannot go to the startup repair option (pressing f8 while on the screen), it just does nothing.
I am having trouble installing Windows XP Mode on a Dell E4300 laptop with Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. For the record, I have installed XPM on multiple occasions without any issues at all, until now. Upon launching the XP Mode installer, it starts to deploy the temporary files but hangs at expanding 'sourcesxpm'. Then I get the following error: 'This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package'.
If I try multiple times, I am sometimes able to get beyond that point where the XP Mode setup screen shows up, but then I receive an error during the installation process that says: 'Source file not found: D:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxsourcesXPM. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it'. I've checked everything I could with no avail permissions, Hardware Virtualization. I also installed it on an identical machine with the same setup. Then I got a hunch that the Windows Installer might have been corrupted. So I ran the command to un-install it (msiexec /uninstall) & got the same error message as above.

I am helping a friend out with her computer, she had one of those annoying viruses that say you have a bunch of things wrong and try to get you to buy stuff and a few others that I can't remember. I ran malaware bytes and got rid of them all. I thought that would be the end of it. She wanted Itunes and it would never install and the error message for it was related to windows updates. She purchased the computer last may and I was looking at the updates and all of the updates have failed since then, first being service pack 1. It wouldn't automatically do it, so I downloaded the standalone file and it would tell me it was unsuccessful and to restart the computer and try again. I downloaded the readiness tool, ran it, didn't work, ran it in aggressive mode, that didn't work. So I gave up and was going to reset it back to factory. The F8 command for the advanced boot methods does have "repair your computer" option but I click it and it just starts windows normally. Over and over. I made a repair disc through the windows options, and dell data safe, and when I boot from them I get the winload.exe file is missing or corrupt status: 0xc000000d and when I use dell data safe program to restore back to factory, it restarts and gives me the same thing. I have googled all day and searched forums for hours and I am getting nowhere. Resetting it to factory was going to be the easy way for me, and now I just want to throw the thing out the window.
i have a toshiba satellite laptop,running win7 home premium and 4 gigs of ram. when i try to boot up i get a black screen prompting that it couldnt find the winload.exe file....i dont have a copy of windows as this was preinstalled...i also cant get to safe mode ,but its not b.s.o.d...additionally it is only 3 months old ,so is there a way to contact microsoft and have them send me a copy of win 7..or ami just gonna have to buy the operating sys,and just cold install ?..ive tried various c/prompts,but if anyone has any i havent tried im willing to try anything...i dont care about the files on my laptop..i just want the computer i paid for.
I am running on Windows 7 64bit home premium. My computer has been really weird lately. I have tried recovering my computer to an earlier time but it constantly failed. Explorer.exe will fail on me, and I have tried the src thing using run but it will open and immediately close on me. I didn't have a recovery disk so I just recently bought one. I "think" I made the recovery disk correctly. When I put the cd in, I got an error that the file winload.exe with the error code 0xc0000001 saying the file may be missing or may be corrupt.

I am not very experienced with computers s of right NOW, explorer.exe keeps failing on me when I log into my account and when press the system restore option, it freezes and starts explorer.exe and a pop up about my administration failing.

I tried to use the recovery 7 disk on my laptop...Half way through the process my laptop froze and shut off. When I turned it back on its said winload.exe was missing or corrupt. With the status of 0xc000000f. It wont let me do anything with the computer. Only go into memory tool diagnostics and the setup utility. It says to install the windows 7 install disks. I dont have that I only have the recovery disks.
I have a brand new HD and an old HD. Both HDs are found and USB flash win 7 drive boots up windows files then returns winload.exe error. I have tried all kinds of options on here looking through the forum but no definitive answer. There are no problems with HD or memory from what I can see from tests. I have hirens boot cd and have tried a lot of options
I have installed on a second partition of my first hard disk seven (in a first partition I have vista). The first start of 7 goes well and I can see the desktop without any problem. Then I restart my pc to change the boot priority and set the hard disk as default. Then I restart again and I see the vista boot manager that ask me to select the os to start. When I select 7 I get an error that say:
FILE windowssystem32winload.exe
Status: 0xc0000428
info: windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.
(I think that is the english version of my error, the code match)
I try to repair the windows starup with the wizard on 7's dvd but it doesn't work. I unistall, reburn, reinstall 7 but the result was the same.
If I open (when I running vista) the property of winload in 7's directory I see that the digital signature of the item doesn't match.
