My laptop has been working slowly and got error 0xc000000f but it wasn't plugged to any USB and I hadn't downloaded new apps, how do I fix it?

Cannot boot HP laptop Error Code 0xc000000f

OK. Now run HD Tune:
SMART params



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?

Comments and suggestions appreciated.

Many thanks.

 

Cannot boot HP laptop Error Code 0xc000000f

Got into the HP tests and tried the HDD test. It failed immediately




I've also tried recovering Windows from a recovery ISO, goes for quite a while then fails with no specific error.

To me it's evident that the HDD is sufficiently bad as to not be worth any more time in trying to fix.

There seems just 3 options.

1. I try to replace the HDD
2. Get a local PC shop to replace the HDD
3. Get a new laptop

The first two cases may present a problem in reinstalling a valid copy of Windows 10 Home, would a replacement drive invalidate the already licences system?

All cases will involve getting new applications.
Ah well. I shall break the news to her over the weekend.

 

Windows 7 to Windows 10 error 0xc000000f


So has there been any resolution to this besides getting a new key from Microsoft? I am experiencing the same issue as others. There is no option for turning off secure boot and I only have ACHI and compatibility, I have tried to upgrade several times, all result in the 0xc000000f error. I have a Lenovo L420. A clean install works perfectly fine but as others have said this causes Win 10 to stays inactivated. I am able to get all the way through the first 2 steps where the computer restarts and about 60% way through copying, aprox 20% overall, at the installation screen the laptop will restart and I get the message 0xc000000f, A required device isn't connected or cannot be accessed. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Lenovo L420, clean 7 install ---> 10 upgrade
