Need help to resolve Windows 10 Error Code: 0xc0000098 (your PC/Device needs to repaired)

I recently moved to windows 10 from windows 7.
Once I restarted my PC, it was stuck to Operating System Not Found.

Then I used bootable USB to repair a laptop.

On the first go, I tried below steps.

1. Enabled External Boot Device in boot setting menu
   
2. Completed language setting
   
3. Clicked on Repair your computer which is just below Install Now option
   
4. Opted for Troubleshoot option
   
5. Went to Advanced options
   
6. Clicked on Startup Repair
   

After all the above steps, it just stuck to a blue page mentioning Error Code: 0xc0000098

Now every time I try to repair a laptop using a bootable USB, it always stuck to this blue page. I have posted a video having this problem .

 

Loading System Repair disk results in Error Code 0xc000a004 - kernel is missing or contains errors (file: \windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe)

I have recently migrated from windows 7 to windows 10 and have created a System Repair Disk. Running the system repair disk to verify it loads results in receipt of the following error message: "The operating system couldn't be loaded because the kernel is missing or contains errors. File: \windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe Error code: 0xc000a004"

Research on the web finds no specific response. The computer appears to be operating normally, just unable to load the repair disk (minimizing key entry during the boot does not have any impact).

Any assistance is appreciated.
