Hi,
Try the following.
If you don't already have one, use another PC to create a Windows 7 Repair flash drive. Download the relevant ISO from the links below.
Windows 7 32bit
Windows 7 64bit
If you need a utility to create a bootable Flash Drive for this Image, try the free application below.
http://rufus.akeo.ie/
When created, tap away at the esc key as soon as you start the notebook launch the Start-up Menu and then insert the Repair flash drive. Select Boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the Flash drive option and hit enter.
Select the 'Repair your Computer' option and follow Option 2 in the guide on the link below to run Start-up Repair – you may need to run this 2 or 3 times.

Boot error 34 with Windows 8.1 on Lenovo Yoga 13

Bought my Yoga 13 with Windows 8 pre-installed and updated it to 8.1. Worked since Oct 2013. Starting yesterday after shutdown and new power on allways get blue screen saying:
Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.
File: \BCD
Error code: 0xc0000034
You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media (like a disk or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer.
Press Esc for UEFI Firmware Settings
No recovery tools came with the product. Are there any hints on how to proceed or produce a bootable USB device for Windows 8.1? How can I find my Windows product key if it is needed to download any corresponding licensed software?

You can always download Windows 8.1 trial edition and create a bootable USB disk. That will help you boot to WinRE (Windows Recovery Enviroment). Once booted you can run bootrec to fix your bcd
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392
Since you upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, the product key that you have will be for Windows 8. Most of the manufacturers paste the license key bottom of the device. If you do not find it there, please contact the vendor.

Windows 8.1 Fails to Boot Error 0xc000000f

My friend's notebook developed an error message on booting after less than a week's usage. The error reads:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. Ti fix the problem:
1. Insert Windows installation disk and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "next".

Info: An error ocurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
My friend tells me that there were no external devices attached to the notebook and he was working on Excel at the time. Windows updates were being installed and the notebook run out of battery and turned off. On restarting the computer, he got the error above.
System information:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz
Current processor speed: 1700 MHz

Bios Revision: M74 Ver 01.05
I have the operating system DVD but when I select to boot from it, I get the saem error. I have tried the application and driver recovery DVD but that takes me straight into the restore to factory settings menu (I get no option to repair). I have tried running system diagnostics (Quick test). It starts with the battery and after about 10 seconds goes back to the previous menu. On looking at the logs, it says that the diagnistic was cancelled but certainly not by me. I managed to run individual tests on componenents such as the battery, processor and hard drive and they all passed.
How can we try to repair Windows rather than re-image?
This question was solved.

If you create a USB or Windows 8.1 installer you should be able to access the advanced recovery options that will allow you to use Safe Mode. If you are able to boot into Safe mode then using system recovery may very well be the answer to the BCD store issue that you are facing.
Follow the instructions at the following third party website to create a usb Windows 8.1 installer by using a generic Windows 8.1 key and use it to access the Windows environment.

Hello. Since accepting the upgrade to the current version of I Tunes (11.4) I have been unable to get the application to boot. I receive the message that I Tunes was not installed correctly and Error 7 (Windows Error 193). I have uninstalled/reinstalled I Tunes several times and this has not resolved the issue. I also uninstalled/reinstalled Microsoft.net Framework 4 since this was suggested by Apple support. This also has not resolved the issue.
When I reinstall I Tunes, I get a message that the “Service ‘apple mobile device’ failed to start.” Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services. I attempted to manually start the Apple Mobile Device service but get a pop up stating, “Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.”Unsure what I should try next.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.
In your case I suggest you start with a clean download of the setup file using the direct link. If reinstalling AMDS alone doesn't work try tearing everything down again.

[Solved]Syslinux "booting... boot error" when booting Windows 7

Hello, I've set up my computer to dual boot windows and arch. Windows is on a separate hard drive and I was able to configure syslinux with a boot menu allowing me to select Windows at startup. For a long time this has worked without any problems whatsoever, but this morning I tried selecting windows and I got what is probably the most vague error message I have ever seen.
"Booting...
Boot Error"
According to this post this problem comes in when the ldsyslinux.sys file cannot be found. Unfortunately I was not able to use his suggested fix
syslinux -U /dev/sdb1
I wasn't aware that there was a -U flag for syslinux and after checking it seems that there isn't one.

Sorry, I actually just fixed it on my own, it turns out my BIOS settings were a bit... weird. For some reason I didn't have my windows drive listed and it tried to boot a USB drive I had plugged into my computer. I just had to fix the drive order and it worked fine. Sorry about starting a fairly useless discussion.

PXE-E61 Error - But Windows Boots

So I have been looking around this thing a while.
Recently a virus got to my computer, so I just decided to just reformat and just reinstall everything.
So I wanted to boot from a Windows OS disc and to no avail, I get that dreaded error, so I can no longer install my OS back onto the CD.
I have turned off the LAN, changed the order, etc.... but no luck. I really do not want to have to replace this one when it boots perfectly fine...
Any thoughts?

BCD/boot error 0xc0000001 ~ stuck on broken windows partition

Okay so I have a macbook pro 2009 and I recently partitioned my hard drive to get windows 7 premium using bootcamp. While installing new software for my windows side it it froze up and I had to do a hardshut down. After I restarted my computer it came up with a black screen that says boot/bcd error - 0xc0000001
info: an error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
It instructs me to
1. insert your windows installation disk and restart my computer
2. choose your language settings and then click "next"
3.click "repair your computer"
problems I've come across while attempting to fix this
1. when selecting what operating system to repair after starting up the windows installation disk there are no operating system that shows up.
2. "repair your computer" option does not work and cannot repair the problem.
3. cannot hold down option to go back to Mac side because of EFI lock which I don't know the password to it.
4. cannot get to safeboot for reasons unknown, but holding down f8 doesn't work and holding down FN with F8 also does not work. It just goes to the boot error screen.
5. System restore does't work either.
6. went into command prompt and typed sfc / scannow but it says that another scan is in progress but needs to reboot to start. Every time I restart the same message pops up.
All I really want to do is get back to my mac side so I can delete the partition at this point. But it is IMPOSSIBLE so if anybody knows any solutions please do share. thanks!

Hi electrovalent,
I agree with Tripredacus,we seem to miss the important part that we should boot from the UEFI mode for a GPT format disk.To boot from the UEFI mode:
1.Insert the installation DVD or USB flash drive, and boot the computer.
2.When the firmware starts to initialize, press the key that opens the UEFI firmware boot device menu, such as Esc, F2, F9, F12.
3.Select an EFI drive, examples: EFI DVD/CD Drive, EFI USB Drive, or EFI Network Drive. You may be immediately prompted to press a key to boot from the drive to continue.
Here is a link for reference :
Walkthrough: Boot Windows PE from a UEFI-based Hard Disk
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh265131(v=ws.10).aspx
I have noticed you have tried the "Startup Repair"option before but I would suggest you try this option again .Because we have chosen the UEFI mode this time and this option is usually useful and convenient to repair the boot loader.
If the issue persists ,try the following command line .I also noticed you have tried the similar command line before but I have made a little modifications according to the screenshots you have posted.
diskpart
list vol
sel vol 2 (Volume 2 is the fat32 volume,this step is not included in the screenshot )
assign letter=v
exit
ren BCD BCD.old (Backup bcd )
bcdboot c:\Windows /s v:

Windows boot error 0xc00000e9, 0xc0000098 in Lenovo U400

I've been getting boot error in my 8 month old Lenovo U400. No changes were done in hardware or software. It says bootbcd file is missing. Doesn't boot through hardware, but boots just well when I go to advanced boot menu and select the SSD option. The functioning of the laptop seems to be just as good, fast and there's no problem whatsoever after I boot through this. Then why doesn't it boot normally? Why does it say it could not find a valid OS entry??
I tried resettting the boot file. During the process I noticed that the partition with the OS is marked hidden and is a RAW partition, rather than NTFS. Since this error, I haven't been able to use Lenovo one key recovery either. I have never reinstalled/formatted a system with SSD, and am not quite sure if a clean reinstallation of Win OS would help.
What should I do?

The moment you selected your drive to boot from start pressing F8 button, it should show you some extra boot options, where should be a repair option. Go there, it might ask you login, then there will be option to fix startup problems.

Win 8 boot error; Dual booting Arch/pre-installed Win8.1

Hello everyone! My name is kuhi and I have this problem that's driving me insane. I've tried all sorts of things... googling here and there, up and down.
The setup worked splendidly until one morning I turned my computer on, booting into the Windows Boot Manager from grub. Suddenly, out of the blue, I get this error:
Required device isn't connected... Error: 0xc0000225
Now none of the options in the recovery mode work... Refresh, reset, particular command prompt commands, you name it.
Another thing is, this error seems to have locked the windows partition itself, thus hinding it from itself, I guess. Now I can't even mount the drive on linux. It just tells me that I'm not authorized to do that. All I want right now is to access the filesystem and retrieve some of the personal files left in there, then It can all go to hell.
I don't know what to do. I've tried different BIOS and Boot options thinking it might work, but with no avail. I'm lost, is there anyone out there, who has ever met this kinda error? Or at least someone, who can point me in the right direction? I'll be happy to provide any information I can get.
Thanks in advance,
kuhi.

TheSaint wrote:Supposed that is NTFS, you should have/install ntfs-3g package
and try ntfsck over that partition (/dev/sda4)
One more tool is testdisk to see if the partition table is sane.
YOU ARE AMAZING! Thanks a lot... it seems that after getting the packages you listed I am now able to mount and access the Windows8 partition. Doesnt neccessarily fix my issue, but at least I can retrieve lost filed. You are truly the saint
Edit: now i dont know how to open Docs & Settings as it seems to be an unsupported file, but ill try to figure that out
Edit2: hell its probably like password locked
Edit3: turns out its a broken symbolic link to /mnt/.NTFS-3G/C:/Users.. any way to fix this broken link

After restore windows boot manager says windows failed to start. CQ57 notebook

Had a problem with the FBI scareware. Took it to a cmputer repair place. They wanted $250 to fix it and now it won't boot up at all. It did the HP system restore but when it rebooted the Windows Boot Manager says "Windows failed to start". It wants an installation disc. THen :
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
Is it trying to boot from the wrong partition?

Enter BIOS setup by tapping/holding the F10 key immediately after powering on the laptop.Use Diagnostics to test your hdd.
If you haven't burned a Recovery Disk set, phone HP to order one.Usually around $17. Choose your country here>> Contact HP

System Boots but afer windows splash screen hangs.

OS: Windows Ultimate SP1
After rebooting my PC, when the windows startup splash screen disappears the screen stays black with just the cursor present. No other activity accurs. Waited 10 min and tried again.
The same results occur in booting in safe mode and commanf mode.
I ran the HP Basic System diagnostrics and received this error.
Smart Check : Passed
Long DST : Failed
FAILURE ID : RGBRB9-00076C-9XPK1G-61CU03
Product ID : H2M99AA#ABA
HARD DISK 1
I then ran a standalone chkdsk /r and a chkdsk /f
The chkdsk in both cases did not show that any errors were found except receive this message at the end of the chkdsk
Failed tp transfer logged messages to the event log which is status 50
Note - Using the windows Ultimate CD I loaded theSystem Recovery Options tool (Command Prompt).
I thought it odd that when I switched to C: then did a dir, there were no files present. I found files and a windows directory on D:
My first thought on this is to replace the hard drive but thought that maybe this type of error occured in the past and a resolution was acheived without hard drive replacement.
This question was solved.

Hi,
The 24 character error code for the Long ( comprehensive ) Disk Self Test would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced. This is also consistent with the start-up issue.
If your PC is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced - you can check your warranty status Here.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know.

2009 Mac Pro will not boot up under Windows

I have an Early 2009 Mac Pro system (Mac Pro 4,1) and I've had this system for 3 years already and have been working under OS X with this system ever since I purchased it.
However, when I tried to boot off my Windows disk, something very interesting happens. The Mac Pro WILL NOT boot up off the Windows disk or a known working Windows partition if two monitors are connected. Upon holding down the option key and selecting the Windows partition, I will get a black screen on one monitor (the one connected via Mini Displayport) and the other screen receives no signal and will enter standby and the system is halted. It does not respond to keystrokes, there is no hard drive activity, no measured power increase on the UPS, no apparent network activity, nothing. The only way to exit this scenario (from what I can tell) is to power off the machine, disconnect the display on DVI, power on the machine again, select the Windows partition wait for the system to reach the login window and reconnect the DVI monitor (at which time Windows recognizes it immediately and the system works fine again).
My question to the community is, does anybody know why this is happening and is there a known fix for this? Quite frankly, having to disconnect a monitor just to restart is very tedious and frustrating.
I have two Samsung P2350 monitors attached to an ATI Radeon HD 4870 (512MB, from Apple). One is monitor is connected via directly DVI and the other is using a Mini Displayport to DVI adapter. Both monitors work fine under OS X with no issue. At first, I thought that this may be a driver issue on the Windows side and after installing all the latest updates and drivers the issue is still apparent. From what I can tell, this doesn't seem like a software issue but rather a firmware or EFI issue as this happens before Windows even loads.
If anyone knows of a fix or what to do in this situation, or if you are also having this issue, I would love to hear your input!
Thank you!
For the record, I am running all the latest software builds on the OS X side (10.7.4, not that it would really matter at this point). I have also disconnected all unnecessary equipment in a trial and error scenario but the results are still the same.
The system passes all ASD testing.
The full specification of the computer and all connected equipment are as follows:
2009 Mac Pro (4,1) 8-Core
2x Intel Xeon Nehalem 2.66GHz Quad-Core CPUs
16GB DDR3 ECC 1066MHz RAM (Apple Branded)
Two OWC 120GB SSDs (One for OS X, the other for Windows 7 x64) - These are in place of my optical drives.
4x 2TB WD Black Hard drives for storage.
Two Samsung P2350 Monitors connected via DVI. (One using a Mini Displayport to DVI adapter).

In Windows I am using the latest (12.4) Catalyst Software Suite, 64 bit of course, downloaded directly from AMD's site after installing the drivers from Boot Camp.
As for installing Windows I used an original (not burned) installation media (Disk is in a pristine condition). And yes, Windows is fine, the problem just seems to be getting the system to boot up Windows with that second monitor. However if the "problem monitor" is disconnected the system boots fine 100% of the time and connecting it later after booting the system will still operate properly.
For the sake of arguement I swapped monitor cables and connected the "second" monitor to the mini displayport adapter to verify that it wasn't a cabling issue and I'm still yielding the same issues.
As for GPU testing, I've played games (Crysis, Grand Theft Auto IV, Battlefield 3, etc.) and I've had no issues with the card or stability.
You would think that Apple would try to find a fix for this, especially considering the caliber of this machine.

MacBook Air running Bootcamp getting ACPI errors in Windows

We have a number of MacBook Air 13" mid-2014 A1466 models running Bootcamp with Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise.
(We image them with Windows & Bootcamp, no Mac OS X partition)
We are using latest Bootcamp 5.1.5640 drivers
They work fine for most applications.
We are regularly getting ACPI errors
The error in Windows System log is
Source: ACPI
Description: The embedded controller (EC) did not respond within the specified timeoutperiod. This may indicate there is an error in the EC hardware or firmware that the BIOS is accessing the EC incorrectly. You should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS. In some situations, this error may cause the computer to function incorrectly.
The error we are seeing is when a user is logged into a Windows domain it should pass the Windows password to other applications like Outlook, Lync, etc. Instead, on these Macs, they regularly prompt for the Windows password to re-connect to the source. We don't get this issue with normal Windows PCs.
Also booting has a slight delay of around 10 seconds before Windows begins loading. Don't this delay with older MacBook Airs.
Have looked at repairing Bootcamp drivers. EFI & SMC looks up to date, had to use Mac boot USB to check this info.

VikingBrad wrote:
Just re-reading my post and I was unclear. Yes we do use EFI and boot directly into Windows.
This is good to know.
The Windows partition is joined to an AD domain and logs in fine with AD credentials.
The only problem being that when we open Outlook or Lync or other apps that require AD authentication the user is prompted for their AD credentials.
We have cleared Credential Manager in Windows, tried different users with no success. It works with older MacBooks and Windows PC. Seems to just be these latest MacBook Air 2014 models with the issue. After user re-enters AD credentials they can connect to Outlook, etc.
This may be a bit off-topic, but Macs do not "officially" support Enterprise versions of Windows. Can I suggest using a test 2014 MBA, installing W7/W8 64-bit, and configuring for AD authentication and testing. Are there any known DNS issues on this Macs? In all the applications which do not function correctly, does the username show up correctly populated, when prompted for login?
The only error we see in Event log is the ACPI error so suspect it is related. But we have latest Bootcamp drivers from Apple perhaps we are off track.
If the user successfully enters credentials when prompted for say, Outlook, and the computer is made to sleep or hibernate, is the connection to Outlook/Lync still up if the timeout for sessions (if any) has not yet expired and the computer is woken up?
It may also be worthwhile to look for requests being made for authentication before the applications prompt the user for credentials.

ITunes stopped working. Error 7 (Windows 127)

Suddenly iTunes stopped working.
At first my HP Pavillion showed the message "Error 7 (Windows 127)". I googled it, and found a couple of suggestions. I tried to uninstall iTunes and related program files in the right order, but it didn't work.
Now I get this message, and it doesn't help to uninstall iTunes. I allready tried it several times.
After googling the message above, I tried to open the iTunes setup file with winRAR, but that didn't work either.
Now I get this message:
Something about the procedure point of entry ADAdPolicy... is not found in the DLL-library.
When I click 'OK' I get the same message, as I did to begin with "Error 7 (Windows 127)".
What am I doing wrong?
I've spend more than 10 hours total, solving this problem, so if anyone can help me, there'll be best wishes and happy thoughts send your way

Hi @TroelsDanmark ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP Pavilion Notebook and not being able to use ITunes. Can get to safe mode with command prompt? sfc /scannow would scan your system for errors at the command prompt.
Are you downloading ITunes 12.0.1 for Windows ? Current download available here.
Do you have 400MB of available disk space to accommodate the download?
First, try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started
Restart the computer after this step and try installing again.
You could try this Microsoft fix.
Please let me know how this goes.
Thanks.
