If anyone in this comment section still needs help, I have the same issue and I couldn’t boot from usb for some reason so the only fix to this is going UEFI setting which is the only thing it lets you boot into from the list of options after doing that go to boot settings and change the boot setting from UEFI to legacy and then you should see your usb drive (usb has to be connected before hand) in the list down below along with your hard drive/ssd now go down to the list and move the usb to the top of the list and then exit and save changes now it should boot 👍

0xc000000f specifically means that the Hard disk is not reading. That’s all. Contrary to popular belief, it DOESN’T mean that the HDD is corrupt Here’s how I found out my issue, I thought the M.2 SSD drive was my boot but it turned out to be my HDD the entire time. So all I did was switch the boot to my HDD from my M.2 SSD in my BIOS settings Literally that simple and dumb

I was trying to update from Windows 8 to 8.1. Then I went in to a system app and I clicked something called mark partition as active then my PC crashed and I was panicking is there a fix please let me know

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! If you accidentally marked a partition as active while trying to update from Windows 8 to 8.1 and your PC crashed, you can try to fix the issue by booting from a Windows installation media and using Diskpart to set the correct partition as active. First, boot from a Windows installation media and choose "Repair your computer" > "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" > "Command Prompt". Then, use Diskpart to check the partitions and make a note of the volume number of the correct partition that should be active. Set the correct partition as active by typing "select volume X" and then "active". Reboot your computer and it should now boot normally. If you're not comfortable with using the Command Prompt, it's best to take your computer to a professional for repair.

i dont have an another fucking pc to get a Windows installer tool

[@martinharris4341]

Thank you so much for this information. I am back up and running

[@ThyZedia]

I Had same issue all youtubers give the same solution but to no avail none of them work. I have fixed mine but before i can tell you how i fixed i want to tell you why its broken. Basically the pc is booting from a corrupted folder or folder missing Key files for booting up. My pc was installing windows when my laptop shut down mid installation and then after rebooting this error message came up. Basically it was booting from the pc, since my laptop no longer had these files because the installation was not finished, it couldn't switch on. After some fiddling I managed to check the bios boot step up. So the best thing is to find the locations of the boot start up settings should be in bios i cant tell you where because its different for different laptop/pc makes. Then making sure the usb boot up is enabled after that go to boot menu and select the usb (also if it cant be found try other usb ports because not all work. Fairly sure boot up is done via usb #1 if you don't know where that is just try all of them.) and it will restart once that is done you should have the window installation screen pop up. If you don't wanna reinstall windows, you will have too but you can make it so that it keeps all your files and only reinstalls windows. So that's it I hope this was helpful. I know i am bad at explaining but i did my best.

[@GgGg-by7ju]

Could you ever help me i think i know what you mean but im not sure and KZbin is making me more confused then i already was

[@ThyZedia]

@@GgGg-by7ju basically plug in the usb with windows installed onto and go to the bios. Then navigate to the boot menu or the windows start up menu and look for where it should say "Start up from" or it will say "boot up from". Then select the usb port that has the usb with windows on. Make sure your windows is starting up from that usb and not internal storage. Then restart and it should work perfectly. Make sure you usb is plugged into one of the main ports others the laptop/pc wont register it.

[@ThyZedia]

It will most likely come up with the windows installation menu and you should reinstall windows. If you want to recover lost files there are programs for that.

[@Mattix1887]

Hey, I also have this Error Code 0xc00000f. But my System wont boot from any USB I transformed into a recovery tool with the MediaCreationTool. I am frustrated. Any Suggestions? The USB is installed correctly. In the Bios Secure boot control is disabled´, boot csm is Enabled, and the UEFI/BIOS Boot Mode is on Legacy. :(

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! Check the boot order and ensure that the USB recovery drive is listed as the first boot device in the BIOS settings. You may also want to try a different USB port or a different USB drive to see if that resolves the issue. If the Media Creation Tool is not working, try using a different tool to create the recovery drive, such as Rufus or UNetbootin. It's possible that there is a hardware issue with your computer preventing it from booting from the USB recovery drive, in which case you may need to take your computer to a professional technician for repair. Lastly, changing the BIOS settings to legacy boot mode may be causing issues, so you may want to try changing the boot mode back to UEFI and disabling legacy boot options to see if that helps.

Hi Michael, I'm getting this error after changing HDD to SSD. I put the old drive back but the errors is the same. I can't make this laptop boot, just get the recovery environment. Help please.

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! First ensure your SSD or HDD is securely connected, then access the BIOS to confirm the correct drive is set as the primary boot device. If you have Windows installation media, boot from it, choose "Repair your computer," and select Startup Repair under Troubleshoot > Advanced Options. If that doesn’t work, open Command Prompt and run the following commands to rebuild the Boot Configuration Data (BCD): bootrec /fixmbr, bootrec /fixboot, bootrec /scanos, and bootrec /rebuildbcd, typing Y when prompted. Finally, check for drive issues by running chkdsk c: /f /r in Command Prompt.

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! Error code 0xc00000f indicates a problem with the boot configuration of your Windows system. The missing or corrupted file in this case, "Windows\System32\winload.exe," is critical for the OS to start successfully. To address this, you can try using Automatic Repair by booting from the Windows installation media, or manually rebuild the BCD by accessing Command Prompt through the installation media and running the "bootrec" commands. Additionally, you can check for hard drive errors using "chkdsk" and scan for system file corruption using "sfc /scannow." If these methods fail, consider performing a system restore to a previous working state, but remember to back up your data beforehand.

Hi there, thank you for your question! Typically this error indicates a problem with the Windows bootloader. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue: First, restart your computer to see if it resolves the problem. Next, ensure that the RAM modules are securely and correctly inserted into their slots. If the issue persists, you can use the Startup Repair feature from a Windows installation media to attempt fixing any boot-related problems. Another step you can take is to check for disk errors using the Command Prompt in the Windows Recovery Environment.

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! If your boot files are destroyed and you can't access another PC to create a bootable drive, you can use your iPhone with an OTG adapter to download a Windows ISO and transfer it to a USB drive, though this is limited on iOS. Alternatively, access a library, café, or friend's PC to create a bootable drive using tools like Rufus or the Windows Media Creation Tool. You can also try accessing your system's recovery partition by pressing recovery keys like F8, F11, or Shift+F10 during startup to reset or restore the system. If none of these are options, consider borrowing a device.
