    Windows 10 boot error 0xc000000f

    Hello, thanks to contact the Microsoft Community. My name is Israel Torres, I am

    an Independent Advisor.

    The boot error 0xC000000f in Windows 10 occurs when Windows attempts to read the Boot Configuration Data

    In order to fix the boot error 0xC000000F in Windows 10, you can also use the built-in bootrec.exe tool. Please note that a bootable Windows Installation DVD or USB is required. The goal is to rebuild the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) that controls how Windows
    10 is started.

    Step 1. Reboot your computer.

    Step 2. Insert the bootable DVD or USB installation disk.

    Step 3. Reboot your computer again and press “R.”

    Step 4. Click “Troubleshoot.”

    Step 5. Click “Command Prompt.”

    Step 6. Type “bootrec /fixmbr” and press Enter.

    Step 7. Type “bootrec /fixboot” and press Enter.

    Step 8. Type “bootrec /rebuildbcd” and press Enter.

    Should the partition table be empty?

    Error Scan results

    So 6 damaged areas, 0.2% damaged. Clearly zero would be best, thoughts on trying to continue with existing HDD?

    Boot error when booting from USB - 0xc000000f

    BSOD, boot error 0xc000000f and system registry error 0xc0000225

    Hi, I may have messed up my Windows quite abit after trying to do system restore while having problems with my GPU driver, all I had to do was reinstall the driver but I did a mistake of starting system restore after running DDU.

    After pressing Enter to try again


    Boot error when booting from USB - 0xc000000f [​IMG]


    So this is what I did after searching stuff online, with pictures, in case it might help understanding my problem

    I created a USB bootable media using rufus, and booted into it. I click into the UEFI:USB instead of the USB:USB because the latter did nothing and proceed to BSOD, while the first indeed boot into installation window.


    Boot error when booting from USB - 0xc000000f [​IMG]


    Then I just proceed into the command prompt because startup repair did absolutely nothing.

    I tried the bootrec.exe method because every tutorial I found lead to it, and did the steps carefully, but to no avail, it only returned to "the requested system device cannot be found" everytime after /rebuildbcd.

    I also tried various other methods, but nothing worked, I dont know much about IT but after searching stuff, I suspect its because my windows partition is not GPT, while I boot up the media through UEFI so the USB media isnt working properly, is this the case?

    This is the DISKPART log, see that my main drive where I install windows is not ticked as GPT
