F11 Recovery don`t work - error Windows failed to start

After downloading MS updates don`t work administrator password. I try F11 Recovery and see black screen: windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause ...
File: \windows\system32\winload.efi
status: 0x0000001
Info: The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required is missing or contains errors.
?Any ideas?
This question was solved.

1) Maybe I misunderstood something, but I thought that the function f11 restores preinstalled Windows from the hidden partition on the disk.
2) I created a boot disk with Windows 8 Pro on USB and tried to boot from it through Boot manager. Beyond the first installation screen did not go.
3) As for your advice to contact the dealer, so I did yesterday. The tablet was taken away for examination by 20 days...
It's very sad, it was a gift to my father for Christmas.
I work for a long time as the system administrator and am dealing with HP servers. It is a pity that such a reputable company can not provide the quality of their tablets.
I advised my daughter Windows tablet, but she wished to have iPad. Now I see that she was right - a year she has no problems with it. Windows tablet - this is not the best choice for a child or an old man.

Windows Failed To Start (Windows 7)

I am not 100% sure where to post this, but I saw a similar post here, but not with the exact problem.
My spouse was playing a video game on the laptop when it suddenly shut down and when he rebooted the computer it gave him the error "Windows Failed to Start. A recent hardware or software chage might have caused the issue after you install Windows Updates." Well the two options we have are the repair function and to start windows normally. The repair funtion said the memory was fine, but we could not do anything else with the repair.
We tried pressing F8 to get the computer in safe mode, but when you click on safe mode you go right back to the error screen.
When pressing F11 to try a system recovery, it also goes right back to the error screen.
We do not have the original windows disk to try a repair that way since the computer was given to us by a family member and the disks were not included.
Any help or advise will be greatly appreciated.

Where did you see version is Vista? Some models that I have seen have Vista listed in BIOS-but actually have Windows 7 installed.
Can you check the COA label wih license key attached to bottom of laptop & let us know if the version is Vista or Windows 7.

Windows Failed To Start & Startup Repair Doesn't Work!!!!

I have an HP Pavilion dv5-2135dx laptop... I don't know what went wrong but I randomly have a "Windows Error Recovery" screen when i turn it on: "Windows Failed to Start. A recent hardware/software change might be the cause" and i can either choose "Launch Startup Repair" or "Start Windows Normally" BUT when i attempt to start windows normally, it goes back to the "Windows Error Recovery" Screen. If i click "Launch Startup Repair" it doesn't do anything but stay on another screen and i've let it be on that screen for a whole day and nothing happens. I've tried safe mode and again it goes back to the "Windows Error Recovery" screen. I've tried all the debugging options and it goes back to the error screen. When I shut it down and tapped F10 to enter the bios menu, i went under the diagnostic tab and ran both the Hard Drive Test and Memory Test. Here are the results:<br>Primary Hard Drive Test- Hard Disk Full (305)<br>Memory Test- Passed<br>But i have no idea what that means because my laptop is brand new and it has 500gb... so the harddrive shouldnt be full. I'm in need of help because I don't know what to do after looking through abunch of forums... Please help me.

Hi i have almost the same problem but my labtop is an Hp HDX 16 and it dosent let me start up eather it goes into a blank screen and i also did the start up recovery and nothing i dont know what else todo

The following 2 links should help with the issues you are having. I would suggest attempting a system restore first (not I repeat not a system recovery) make sure you are doing the restore option or you will lose everything.
Click the option to "Using System Restore when Windows 7 cannot start normally"

Boot Up Error 0xc0000034 - windows failed to start

I came back from work yesterday and found my laptop displaying a black screen saying that "windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause" and to repair using the windows 7 installation disc.
However windows was pre-installed on my machine so i dont have a disc. I left it on during the day so i can only assume it restarted due to an auto update.
I only got this computer the other day and i really dont need this hassle.
Any ideas??
Ta

> However windows was pre-installed on my machine so i dont have a disc.
You didnt receive any disks because there was preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Disk creator.
This allows you to create recovery disk which would help to restore the OS.
But usually there should be a HDD recovery option too.
Try this:
Press F8, choose Repair my Computer, HDD recovery.
If this will not help, then you will need the recovery disk. You can order this here:

ITunes and Quicktime don't work on Windows 7 64-bit

iTunes and Quicktime don't work on Windows 7 64-bit. I tried to uninstall and install the package according to Apple support article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923) but still the same problem. I even tried to stop the Bonjour, it didn't help either. When I try to run either iTunes or Quicktime I get a Windows error message "iTunes has stopped working", with details like this:

Any suggestions?

Taken as a whole, the symptoms suggest that another application (other than QuickTime itself) has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Error saying that windows failed to start 0xc000014c on my toshiba satellite A210

On my Laptop, a Toshiba A210, I get an error saying that windows failed to start. File:\boot\bcd status: 0xc000014c. i already put in a windows recovery disc and it still came up with this message. I removed the HDD and restarted the laptop, and it brang up windows install but it cancels that out before the install starts, even if i stick the HDD in after start-up.
Can anyone help me with this issue please?

Which A210? Which Windows? Which service-pack level?
Maybe you are resuming from hibernation? Press and hold the power-on button until the computer shuts off to get out of this state.
Maybe you have Windows Vista?

0xc000025 - Trying Recovery System via Recovery Manager: Windows failed to start.

Name: Pavilion dv4-2161nr
Prod. Number: WA691UA#ABA
Windows 7 64-bit
I splitted original Hard Disk Partition in three partitions. I formatted those two not containing O.S. Now I want to format the partition containing the O.S.
1) If I choose "Recovery System", will it format all three partitions? Or will it format the partition I choose to?
2) I tryed "Recovery System", but it failed. What can I do?
     2.1) I made Recovery DVDs when first used the PC. It loads but it never runs. It's like theres no AutoRun, and there's no ".exe" to execute when I open the first DVD Recovery via Windows Explorer. What am I missing?
     2.2) I tryed Recovery System via Recovery Manager. System shuts down and starts reiniciating but it gives the following message "Windows Boot Manger: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the problem. Status: 0xc000025. The boot selection failed because a required device is inacessible". What can I do?
     Regards,
     Rafael.

I tested the Hard Drive and it passed 100% ok.
I tested the Memory and it passed 100% ok.
My PC runs a Win 7 Home Premium.
I've just run a Win 7 Ultimate CD Installation. It formatted the System Partition, but I couldn't get Win 7 installed because when I filled in my Product Key it said the Product Key wasn't right. Is it because Product Key for Win 7 Home Premium wouldn't work on a Win 7 Ultimate installation?
I hoped the Hard Drive would be ok after it had been formatted while I tryed Win 7 Ultimate installation. So I tryed once again to boot with HP Recovery Disc. It stopped at 23% once again. Until 23% there are all noises that get me thinking PC is running ok. When it get up to 23% all noises just stop.
Any ideias?
And thanks once again.
Rafael.

Desktop themes don't work in Windows 7

Just loaded Windows 7 under Bootcamp. Desktop themes don't work. The choices offered in the Control Panel just don't take when I click on them. I'm stuck with a plain black desktop. What gives? Graphics seem ok but maybe I'm missing something.

Why safari 5 and itunes 10 don`t work with windows xp?

Some one knows why the mos recent version of safari and itunes don`t work on windows xp?

Define "don't work". Frankly that's about the most vague and useless statement without some clarification.

WIndows failed to start. (0xc0000225); cannot run Safe Mode and no install disc

Hello,
I am currently having a huge problem where my computer is stuck on "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the case. To fix the problem:..." (SEE IMAGE)
I have tried finding solutions online but none have worked. My computer DOES NOT go to safe mode if I press F8 nor do I have an 'installation disc'. In fact, I tried the recovery discs from my brother's laptop and the computer doesn't even recognize that they're
in the disc tray.
My computer is an Acer Aspire M3470 running Windows 7 Home Prem OA.
If it helps, this occurred when I tried running Spybot S&D due to Malwarebytes refusing to start up (pretty sure I had a virus of some sort).
The other image is what shows before the error screen; pressing CTRL-F does nothing.
Thank you in advance!

I have obtained an installation ISO and put it on both a disc and USB but neither work. I get a blue screen with the following text and cannot proceed no matter what I press:
"RECOVERY You pc needs to be repaired. The application or operating system could not be uploaded because a required file is missing or contains errors...
File:\WINDOWS\system32\winload.efi Error code: 0xc0000225
You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media, contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer.

Windows failed to start. Required device inaccessible.

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change could be the cause. The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible . Both hard disk and memory test passed. Please let me know what can be done. I think it's battery issue because it says battery problem but even if I remove the battery it's not going to windows home screen. Also tried I'm safe mode, did not work.

Hi @San16,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a great place to find answers and tips!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that when you start your notebook you are seeing " The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible"
Here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Resolve Boot Device Not Found Error Message (Windows 8, 7). As you have already tested the hard drive and memory you can omit that step.
If a recovery should be required, you will have an opportunity to backup your personal files to prevent data loss during that process. The link for the recovery process is in the document provided.
Here is a link to HP PCs - Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 7) should it be needed.

Windows failed to start, please insert windows disk

Hello,
I have a HP envy 17 3d,
When I turn my laptop on it says the following.
Windows failed to start, a recent hardware or software change might be the problem.
\Boot\BCD
0XC/000000f
An error occurred whilst trying to read the boot configuration data.
I don't have a windows disk but a computer repair guy is bringing one over later. I just wanted to make sure I know everything I need to know, I want to avoid loosing any data!
Thank you
Erin

The BCD store can be recovered by someone who knows what they are doing.
If you have a usb HP recovery flash drive you can access Windows startup repair.
There is aslo a utility called EasyBCD that will allow you to repair an issue like this easily as well.
BTW it always helps if you state which operating system is installed. That way we can be on the same page. Since the error is BCD then I already know that it is a Windows & or Windows 8 (.1) OS, but it helps us to know for certain.
The tutorial on the following web page shows what the computer guy is likely to do to resolve the issue if your notebook has a MBR formatted disk.

Windows failed to start. winload.exe corrupt

Been having a few problems with my Equius so decided to boot, do F8, and do a toshiba system restore.
Started up, and began formatting the disk. All of a sudden it blue screened.
Trouble is now I cant even boot that far to get the recovery/restore option. I get :-
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the
cause. . .
File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Status:0xc000000f
Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is
missing or corrupt.
Not sure how it all works but I assume the recovery stuff is stored on a separate partition. Trouble is I guess you need to be able to start to load windows before you can even get to this?
I've downloaded and tried a vista boot recovery disk with no joy, and of course, toshiba dont supply a vista disk. How on earth do I recover from this situation?

Hello
At first I must say that I cannot understand why you didnt write which Equium do you have exactly?
Such info is always good for better understanding and discussion.
So, if recovery media was not delivered I think you have newest notebook model. Recovery media is not delivered with new notebooks and it must be created using preinstalled "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator". This software is preinstalled on all new Vista notebook. it can happen that people don't think about it and because of that Toshiba has designed small reminder with follow content:
+*Important INFORMATION*+
+*your system is equipped with hard disk recovery system. If you need to repair*+
+*your computer by restoring it to original factory state, you can do it directly*+
+*from harddisk (press F8 when you boot your computer, choose "Repair your computer"*+
+*and follow the menue instructions) or create a bootable Recovery Disc Medium for this purpose.*+
+*Toshiba recommends you to create Recovery Disc Medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator"*+
+*to ensure that you are able to restore your computer to the original factory installed state, even if your computer gets seriously damaged.*+
So now the question: Have you seen this reminder? Have you ignored it? Have you started preinstalled OS at the first day?
What you have done exactly?
Sorry for all those questions but lot of people make big mistake: they don't even start preinstalled Vista and install WXP immediately.
On this way you will not be able to create recovery DVD and you will also loose F8 option to install Vista from HDD.
To be honest I don't know why this thread was posted under WXP category. As I wrote before after WXP installation on new notebooks you will not be able to use F8 and HDD recovery option.
So if you want good answer please explain to us exactly which notebook model do you have and what you have done in the past.
Bye my friend. Just stay cool we will find some solution or good explanation why this happen
Have a nice day.
