Windows 10: Boot Configuration Data Error

I have a custom built PC it had installed Windows 10 on it. I was using it last night and this morning I woke up to a Recovery Error. It says “Your PC/Device needs to be repaired...The Boot Configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains errors...File: \Boot\BCD...Error Code: 0xc000000f...You’ll need to use recovery tools. If you don’t have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your PC administrator or PC/Device manufacturer.”


I need help/steps to solve this issue. I do not have installation media as this PC was given to me with Windows 10 pre-installed as a gift. I am fine with hard resetting if it is an easier option as I did not have any important data on it. Most importantly I need a fix. If it’s possible could someone also explain what caused the issue so I can avoid this in the future.


Thank you

Hi,

Disk write errors, boot sector viruses, and errors made while configuring the Boot Configuration Data manually are some of the possible causes why you are experiencing the error code 0xc000000f. For us to provide better assistance, we would need you to answer
the following questions:

• What is the make and model of your laptop?
  
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

To give you a heads up, most of the troubleshooting step for this error requires a Windows installation disc. It will be best if you acquire one.

Looking forward to your response.

 

The Boot Configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains errors


To topgundcp.

I followed your instructions but Macrium could not find an operating system. See image below.




I pressed next anyway and selected C: and pressed next again.





I ran the fix and everything seems to have worked fine. I then restarted my computer.





I was greeted with a new error *Sad





Any idea on what to do next?



To dalchina.

Here's the result from the HD Tune Health tab.





I am currently doing an error scan with no damaged blocks after 15 minutes. I will leave it on and come back later and post the result.



To bro67.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will try it after the error scan is completed and post the results.



So to summarize I currently have this error when trying to boot my computer.

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<Windows root>\system 32\hal.dll.

 

Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information WINDOWS 10

Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information

Upon reboot, I ge the following message:
"Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.
File: \BCD
Error Code: 0x000000d

You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media, If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer."

I've followed steps of doing bootrec/rebuildbcd - it says "add installation to boot list? Yes(Y)/No(N)/All(A) - I've tried to select Yes and All but it comes up with the requested system device cannot be found.

I really don't want to lose my data so any suggestions would be great?
