  1. Need help with boot configuration data


    Hello,I am currently in the process of fixing up an old laptop to play some games on. A couple days ago, I tried to do a complete system reset in order to refresh the laptop, as it has been running slow for the past few years. It told me I didn’t have enough space to reset, so I tried deleting some apps, and when I tried to reset again, it gave the “Could not find recovery environment” error. To my knowledge, I didn’t delete anything important, but again, that’s only to my knowledge. I attempted to do some CMD fixes, none of which were successful. I then booted up into Recovery/Safe Mode to tr

  2. 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?

    Cannot Start PC: Missing Boot Configuration Data

    Windows version: 10.0.19041.631

    I reinstalled windows 10 with the keep data and app option a week ago.
    Today, a BSOD happened and it was something like "page fault in nonpaged area". I forgot to record down the specific message.
    Now I cannot start my PC at all. I get this 0xc0000098 error on every boot:

    I have tried the following in order:
    • I have tried step #1,2,3,4 here: How to Fix Windows Boot Error 0xc0000098 Quickly In fix #3, Bootrec /fixboot gave me "Access denied" so I stopped there.
    • I have also tried the solution involving diskpart suggested by u/Tekkie_Boy here: Windows Says Boot File is Missing | Error Code 0xc0000098 : Windows10
      I got "Boot files created successfully" but the same error occurs after windows is restarted.
    • Bootrec /rebuildbcd gives me "the requested system device cannot be found" after it finds 1 identified Windows installation and saying yes to installing it to boot list.
    • Macrium Reflect Rescue USB's "Fix Windows boot problems" option didn't work.

    Could someone help me please.

    Windows10 Version 1703 Error Code: 0xc000000f Boot Configuration Data missing or contains erors

    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.
