Windows 10: Can't boot installation USB with Windows 10: 'Error code: 0xc0000225'

I wanted to install a fresh version of Windows 10 on my Local Disk 'C' partition. Therefore, I made a bootable Windows 10 USB with Rufus and proceeded with the setup.


However, I ended up deleting my 'C' partition (the other partitions I had were left untouched). I still couldn't proceed with the Windows installation, so I restarted my laptop to try again. But, just after the starting 'HP' logo, I got the following screen with 'Error code: 0xc0000225':

So, I have no access to my files, folders etc. The Windows 10 was installed in 'C', so it's completely wiped out. I would only like to save my files I have in the other partitions ('D' and 'E').


Things I've tried:

• Choosing the 'Press F8 for Startup Settings' only refreshes the blue screen and does nothing.
• I tried going to the BIOS options and change the boot order. Tried Legacy mode and UEFI modes. Still no luck.
• Tried the same with another USB. Still no luck.

Any help on how to get to the Windows 10 setup would be highly appreciated!


Thanks in advance.

0xc0000225 boot error

For some odd reason when I turned on my computer today, I was greeted with the error 0xc0000225 stating that my NLS files were corrupt/missing. I am Running Vista x64 and so far have tried the following:

Replace NLS files
Windows repair utility
Restored an old working registry backup
Tried booting with different ram configurations
Created new BCD / Boot
Chkdsk


Google suggests something about apci, but my gigabyte ud3p doesn't have such an option (already vista compatible) and it seems to only occur to people who are initially installing and not people who already have a working copy.

 

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
