  1. Windows won't boot, 0xc000000F error sometimes appears


    I had this issue a week or so ago, i tried restarting my computer a million times, it would just show a loading screen infinitely. Occasionally it would show the error code above, 0xc000000F, and give me 4 options, of which only BIOS options worked. Recovery and safe modewhich would Occasionally work would just restart the computer.The reason this is in past tense is i thought i fixed it. I bought a new windows 11 flash drive, plugged it in, and weirdly it worked without even running a recovery or anything. in retrospect maybe i should've ran the recovery after getting it up and running.Now

    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.

    Unable to boot; 0xc000000f error on start

    @axe0 - No, there was no file mentioned, although the error code remained the same. After I used the bootsec.exe /nt60 command the File: boot/bcd line appeared, which can be seen in the photos.
    @zbook - I'll try what you have suggested and post the results. As for the assigned drive letters, no I don't know why they already have assigned letters. As far as I can recall, those were in fact the drive letters they were assigned when the computer was working, but I didn't reassign them during the troubleshooting process. The steps I had already taken are listed in the original post. I had tried to rebuild the BCD previously, but with the same results (i.e. didn't have access, system not found etc.)

    Cannot boot HP laptop Error Code 0xc000000f

    OK. Now run HD Tune:
    SMART params

    Should the partition table be empty?

    Error Scan results

    Windows won't boot, 0xc000000F error sometimes appears [​IMG]

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