The Boot Configuration Data file is missing requires Information

My ideapad U310 doesn't boot any more after the boot procedure was interrupted by power outage.
A blue screen shows the following:
Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.
File: \BCD
Error Code: 0xc000000d
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.
Press ESC for UEFI Firmware Settings

I can only make one suggestion. Boot from usb Recovery flash drive and hope that the startup repair will do their magic to your unit.

  • HP Stream 7 The boot configuration data file is missing some required information

    I have an HP Stream 7 tablet.  When I open it up it shows a blue screen with the error "The boot configuration data file is missing some required information."  Can anyone help as I can't get into the tablet to solve the error!

    Hey @PaD2 ,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand you're unable to boot up your Stream 7 tablet.
    Try accessing the recovery partition by holding the volume down button and power button at the same time. Please excuse my ignorance, as exact information on accessing the recovery manager appears to be unavailable for this exact model. If the down button doesn't work, up should get you in.
    Once in the recovery manager you should be able to select Troubleshoot > Startup repair. 
    If the startup repair does not fix the issue I would suggest trying the full system recovery option, which you should find under Troubleshoot > Advanced.
    Thanks.

    Press Esc for UEFI Firmware Settings
    First I was able to get into the option 11 and run the whole factory reset, i was so happy because I tought it will be easy.. but then after I did the factory reset.. I keep getting this blue screen. if I press ESC I get into this next screen:
    F1 System Information
    F2 System Diagnostics
    F9 Boot Device Options
    F10 BIOS Setup
    F11 System Recovery
    ENTER - Continue Startup.
    this is what happen when I click any of this options:
    F1 I get into the System Information with no problems, then I click <ESC> to continue and get back to the last screen... then I press F2 and super, I am able to run Memory Test and Hard Drive Check 100% with no problems in any of those, after I am done with my teste I press exit and I am back to the F1,F2, ETC menu... now I want to try F9, F10 or F11. bummer.. in this 3 options I get back to the blue screen described at the beggining of this post. (I already connect a USB with an boot loader, which works perfectly) 
    so I can't do anything, nothing at all!! crazzines. 
    So what I did to check why I can't get into the BIOS or at least to boot from my USB... I removed the botton cover of my laptop and removed the hard drive and that's how then I was or I am able to Log into the BIOS, - I did the changes to boot first from the USB and then from the HD and this is how I was able to boot from the USB - BUT If I connect back the Hard drive, I am not able to get into the BIOS or boot from the USB - so basically I am stuck in this blue screen and I can't boot from a USB if I have the HD connected.. I can't use any option.. no BIOS, nothing.. only if again, i disconnect the HD.  
    This is an:
    HP ENVY TS Sleekbook 4
    PRODUCT NUMBER  D1A99UA#ABA
    SYSTEM BOARD ID: 1894
    Bios F.25 
    **** I though that by updating the BIOS I may be able to get help, nothing. What I did is, I removed the HD and then and boot from the USB and with a DOS command propmt I excecuted the Bios Update from F.21 to f.25... but again, when I installed the hard drive back, BUMMER, nothing I can't do nothing but this silly blue screen. 
    Any idea of what should I do? 
    Thanks in advance.
    This question was solved.

    If you can't access BIOS with the hard disk connected, you certainly won't be able to boot to the usb recovery flashdrive. That is indicative of a failed hard disk.
    Install a new hard disk and then boot to the recovery flashdrive.

  • MDT 0xc0000098 The windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid OS entry

    hello,
    i installed WDS+MDT for OS deployment. all was working fine.
    Now i need our branch office to be able to deploy OS as well.
    I installed a new Win 2008R2 server, and installed the WDS service on it.
    When reading about this on the internet i saw i need, on the MDT at our main office, to make a link, under "Advanced Configuration" - "Linked Deployment Shares" to the new WDS server (I used this: http://www.balm.se/?p=115")
    when doing so i entered the UNC path to the new server and then, on the created link, i right click and choose "Replicate now".
    after doing so, i tried booting a laptop just to see if there is any impact, and now, I'm getting this error:
    Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
    1. insert your windows installation disk and restart your computer
    2. choose your language, and then click "Next"

    I know that usually when I'm getting this message, it means that a previous MDT installation was started and did not finished correctly, and the are some [stuff] on the HD, so i do a partition erase and start over and all working fine.
    Now it's not working. I tried several computer, even new ones, and NADA.
    someone know the cause?
    I know I read something, i don't remember where or how to find it, that when doing the steps I did, it alter\change some ini or xml, or something like this. is that true? any one know on what file do i need to look and see if something is misconfigured?

    For a branch solution I would use DFS(R) rather than linked deploymentshares.
    If there is infrastructure at the remote sites you could use the MDT environment at your main site, and  then at each other site use an existing server or build a new server (VM is available). Create a Deploymentshare on each sever
    and copy the contents of the MDT environment from the first site into this share.  Next you will have to add the WDS service to each site's server. For WDS add the boot image. Of course as Keith noted ensure that you
    have the same versions of MDT and the WAIK/ADK on all systems
    You can use DFS to replicate to all of the other sites, but you will still have to create a deploymentshare, and install WDS at each site. So each site talks to its own WDS server you can use the DefaultGateway parameter instead -
    [Settings]
    Priority=Default, DefaultGateway
    [Default]
    SkipBDDWelcome=YES
    [DefaultGateway]
    192.168.10.1=Bergen
    192.168.20.1=Oslo

  • T60 - Error while attempting to read the boot configuration data

    Hello,
    My wife just got an IBM-certified "pre-owned" T60 (type 2007 66U) running XP a few days ago. I updated all the drivers & patches and handed it over to her in good working order.
    This morning when she turned it on, she encountered a message from the Windows Boot Manager:
    Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
     1) Insert your Windows installation disc
     2) Language settings
     3) Repair your computer
    If you do not have this disc....
    File: \Boot\BCD
    Status: 0xc000000f
    Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data
    It almost goes without saying that we do not having our Windows installation disc as it was pre-installed by Lenovo. I've tried using F11 (after enabling it per other threads on this site) to access the recovery partition but it only takes me directly to the Windows Boot Manager error screen.
    How do I go about repairing this BCD/Windows installation so we can continue our life?
    Thanks...

    You said that the computer is running Windows XP, but unless i'm wrong BCD (Boot Configuration Data) is a new feature starting with Windows Vista and also used by Windows 7. Windows XP use NTLDR (NT Loader) so if BCD is corrupted it sounds to me like someone tried to install Vista og Win7 on the computer or there might have been some leftovers from the previous owner. I don't think you have any other option but to use a Windows CD/DVD to fix this problem since you won't be able to boot from this computer. There might be some 3part utilities available that should be able to fix this, but i wouldn't know what that might be. My recommendation would be to get a Windows CD/DVD.

  • BCDEDIT.EXE /CREATESTORE causes error the boot configuration store could not be opened

    I'm upgrading XP to Windows 7 with dual boot using an image and successfully installed on 6 other computers, the last two are failing when I issue the command:
    bcdedit.exe /createstore
    The boot configuration data store could not be opened.
    The requested system device cannot be found.
    I'm using a known good WINPE 4.0 (Windows 8) x64 USB boot environment, so most solutions that state to run elevated as an administrator do not apply.
    C: is NTFS active partition, chkdsk doesn't find any errors on C:
    I've updated the bootsector with the command
    bootsect /nt60 c: /force /mbr
    this of course disables booting into XP, but I can reboot and re-enable XP via
    bootsect /nt52 c: /force /mbr
    If I try a modified command
    bcdedit.exe /createstore c:\BOOT\BCD
    this also fails, and I've verified that the hidden system C:\BOOT folder does not exist before issuing the command
    If I pre-create c:\BOOT (w/o hidden or system attributes) the command
    bcdedit.exe /createstore c:\BOOT\BCD
    does run successfully, but the following commands to add the Windows 7 boot entries and legacy NTLDR for XP dual boot still fail!
    bcdboot.exe d:\windows /s c: /v
    bcdedit.exe /create {ntldr} /d "Windows XP SP3"
    bcdedit.exe /set {ntldr} device partition=C:
    bcdedit.exe /set {ntldr} path \ntldr
    bcdedit.exe /displayorder {ntldr} /addfirst
    bcdedit.exe /default {ntldr}
    bcdedit.exe /timeout 5
    The two failing computers are older Dell OptiPlex 960 models, so I'm using traditional BIOS boot, EFI is not supported on these models.  Hard drives are regular SATA (1 per computer), no other mass storage devices present besides DVD (empty), and hard
    drives are not GPT formatted.  Drives are old enough that they are regular 512 sector devices (no 512 emulation or 4K issues).

    Thanks for your response Niki Han, the current status is the computers are booting correctly into the original XP SP3, since I've started them with my WINPE
    4.0 x64 USB flash  drive and issued the command to restore the original NTLDR boot process "bootsect /nt52 c: /force /mbr".
    I also verified that there are no hidden partitions, and that there is only one active partition, C: which is a standard NTFS volume:
    Partition 1
    Type  : 07
    Hidden: No
    Active: Yes
    I've also verified that the BIOS is the same and the hard drive mode set in the BIOS is the autodetect RAID in both the working and non-working systems.  I'll review the article you provided at
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee829686(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_Step4
    which may allow me to get these two systems dual booting.  I do know that I'll need to delete the corrupted hidden system c:\Boot folder to avoid any issues.
    I do want to figure out why the command
    bcdedit.exe /createstore
    is outputting this error on just these two systems:
    The boot configuration data store could not be opened.
    The requested system device cannot be found.
    What exactly does bcdedit.exe do when given the /createstore command, does it create a new empty store from the exe itself, or does it copy a store from the running system?  I think the key to figure this out is understanding what the error "The
    requested system device cannot be found." is trying to tell us.

    Thanks Paul; but, taking your suggestion didn't solve the problem.  As mail is part of the OS, the updates don't have the capacity to reinstall applications; so, I had to reinstall the OS.  I now have my mail back (although it didn't appear on the dock--I had to go to applications and activate it and then put it back in the dock.  Thanks again for trying.

  • Unable to make recovery disk on in pavellion g62016 .dat file is missing in recovery drive

    unable to make recovery disk on in pavellion g62016 .dat file is missing in recovery drive
    can i use the .dat file of another same notebook
    what is significance of ,dat file

    Hello shail11. I understand that you're having some problems creating a recovery disc. Is this correct?
    You can not use another .dat file.  The recovery media is specific to a certain notebook, so using another computer's files will not work.   If you're running into issues making a recovery media you could attempt to perform the recovery from the BIOS. Here is a document which outlines the process.  ALL data not backed up before performing the recovery will be lost.

  • What is the difference  between  data file  & control file

    what is the difference  between  data file  & control file

    Dear Deba s
    Control file
    Every Oracle Database has a control file, which is a small binary file that records the physical structure of the database. The control file includes:
    The database name
    Names and locations of associated datafiles and redo log files
    The timestamp of the database creation
    The current log sequence number
    Checkpoint information
    For more info look into these
    [Control File Basic|http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/control.htm#i1006143]
    Data File
    You manage Data File in your Oracle database as part of Space Management. You can extend, create, drop, and alter tablespaces.
    You especially need to avoid tablespace overflow, which is when a tablespace runs out of freespace in the allocated file or files. This happens when an object requires a new extent but there is either no freespace or insufficient freespace in the tablespace
    For more info look into these links

  • Error when trying to install the iSCSI target - Cannot find the Windows PowerShell data file 'ImportExportIscsiTargetConfiguration.psd1'

    Hi,
    I'm just attempting to setup an iSCSI target on a freshly installed Windows 2012r2 box, but I get the following error when attempting to Create and iSCSI virtual disk via the wizard after a successful
    installation of the iSCSI target role.
    The full error is:
    Cannot find the Windows PowerShell data file 'ImportExportIscsiTargetConfiguration.psd1' in directory 'C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\IscsiTarget\en-GB\', or in any parent culture.
    I tried to uninstall, then reinstall the role but no go.
    The Server Locale and UI was all updated to en-GB but this folder does not appear to exist in this location. Rather, the folder I can see is:
    'C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\IscsiTarget\en-US\'
    I'm going to attempt to copy the 'en-US' folder to 'en-GB' to see what happens, but I would like to know why this has occurred in the first place? Other roles have installed (such as AD DS AD CS and
    IIS) on other machines with no issue.
    Many thanks
    Chris
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    The error "Cannot find the Windows PowerShell data file 'ImportExportIscsiTargetConfiguration.psd1'" occured, because the file 'ImportExportIscsiTargetConfiguration.psd1' can't be loaded under the folder en-GB with current culture.
    I recommend you can copy this .psd1 file under  'C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\IscsiTarget'. Essentially if PowerShell can’t find the specified data file for the current culture it will “fallback” to the top-level data
    file in this case.
    For more detailed information, please refer to this article:

    If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

  • How to transport the CO and DATA file to SAP system

    Hello Experts ,
                          I want to know the procedure to import a transport request into an isolated SAP system ( which is not in the transport route ) using the CO and DATA files .
    I know that user should have adminstrator role to do this but i dont know how to do this .
    Regards
    Vivek

    Simply copy the source cofile and datafile from the source system to the target system and then import.
    Data file is located at /usr/sap/trans/<sid>/data with format R<transport_number>.<sid> and cofile is located at /usr/sap/trans/<sid>/cofile with format K<transport_number>.<sid>
    Copy them to the same location on the target system and then go to STMS -> Extras -> Add -> insert the name of the transport in format <sid>K<transport_number>, this will add the transport to the import queue then just simply import the transport.
    Regards
