Lenovo T410s recovery windows 7 failed to start after the system instalation.

I've got a problem with the laptop Lenovo T410s. I've put the new HDD on it (tried even the same with a different HDD too), and started to instal WIN 7 64-bit from the recovery disks. I used to do it many times so far with different Lenovo laptops without any problems. But this time, a while before the end of the instalation (when processing the sdrivebackup.wim) it stops and comes with a statement: " the recovery process has been finished, please ...." (but I see that the progres bar is far awayfrom 100%) , and finishes the instalation, reboot the computer and it comes the screen with the statement from the Windows Boot Manager:
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem (...)
File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The selected entrycould not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt"
I read a lot about the ways to solve similar problems, but they don't work on my case. The strange thing is, that I can instal WIN 8 or WIN7 from regular Windows instalation disks (not from Lenovo recovery, but from normal universal Windows instalation disks).
As I told before, I tried it in 2 different HDD disks with the same effect. It looks that the recovery instalation stops before the end without instaling some files which are missing later during starting the system.
Anybody can help me with that problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It doesn't quite sound like it based on your reported error messages, but are you trying to do recovery to an advanced format HDD? (one with 4k-byte sectors)
I ran into that issue on a T400. The recovery media would run to completion then error out - with a somewhat different message IIRC.
There weren't appropriate drivers for an AF drive, and I couldn't find a solution. There's no way (that I know of) to inject drivers into recovery media the way one can with install media.
If this is an AF drive issue the only way to get around it may be to install to a non-AF drive (usually a small-ish one) and then clone to your new drive.
I may be totally off in left field here - just tossing it out as a possibility.

Satellite C660D froze and does not start - Windows failed to start

Ok pretty much the most dense person you will ever likely to meet when it comes to things like this. but will try my best to explain.
Couple of days ago my laptop froze on me resulting on me having to turn it off and start it again by the power button. When I started it again the message below appeared.
WINDOWS ERROR RECOVERY
Windows failed to start . A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
If windows files have been damaged or configured in incorrectly, start up repair can help and diagnose the problem, if power was interrupted during start up, choose start windows normally.
-Launch Start up repair (recommended)
-Start windows normally
When I press Launch Start up repair it goes to a screen with a big cursor (which you can move around) but nothing else happens.
When I pressed on the start windows normally setting it went through to the windows logo whilst starting up but then stalls at this point.
My question is, is it easy to fix & if not where is the best place to take it to get fixed. Said I was pretty dense :p
Thanks for looking
Dean

>My question is, is it easy to fix & if not where is the best place to take it to get fixed. Said I was pretty dense
I think its easy to fix but you would need an Toshiba Recovery disk.
Did you create one in the past?
If not, try to start the HDD recovery: power up the unit, press F8. Now choose Repair my Computer.
Now new Window should open and here you should choose Toshiba HDD recovery option. This would set the notebook back to factory settings.
In case this isnt possible, you would need to boot from a recovery disk to reinstall the system.

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.
View Solution.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Hi,
I own a Lenovo Ideacentre All-in-one A700. OS is Windows 7 64 Bit. Recently I did a bluetooth software update which got stuck in between and I restarted the system. Ever since that, I get a message from Windows Boot Manager saying "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.
2. Choose your language settings and click next.
3. Click "repair your computer"
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
I do not have the OS CD nor have I created the system restore disks. What I do have is the backup of all my data in drive D. Now, when I contacted lenovo through e-mail, they asked me to use One Key Recovery (OKR) and repair my system. I tried using that but then when I tried to take the backup of my files I get a message saying "The Image file is not valid." I did a bit of research in lenovo forums and found out that those whose OKR version is older than 7 face this issue. I checked up my OKR version and found it to be 3.
Here is the link : http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/hk/en/HintsandTips/hints_show_13263616724030.html
I have tried all the other options to load my OS including safe mode, safe mode with command prompt and last known good configuration but it comes back to the same screen. I am also unable to update my OKR to the latest version. I have a lot of important files located in my system. Now, can someone please help/guide me as to what I should do in order to use the backup created already in D drive and restore my system.
Thanks for all the Help !!

Well sorry to say this, but if you look that error up in Microsoft or a internet search it means the HDD is bad.
The only thing I can recommend is to try and take the HDD out and pull the Data from another PC or boot Linux and see if you can copy your Data that way.
Hopefully you can still save your data.
Good luck.

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.

Windows failed to start. Could not load file Windows\System32\winload.exe

My friend tried to recover his laptop by using the recover button u can do from (controlpanel) and systems. It failed and when I try to start his laptop it says the typically Windows failed to start, \Windows\system32\winload.exe. Status:0xc000000f.
If it was my own laptop and if it was a desktop I would just make a clean installation. Delete all partitions and install new windows. But his laptop got these ones........
disk 0 partition 1 200 mb system
disk 0 partition 2 227,7gb all free, primary
disk0 unallocated space 194 gb all free
disk 0 partition 3: lenovo 29gb 8mb free, LOGICAL
disk 0 partition 4:LENOVO_PART 14 gb 3.3free OEM (reserved)
Im afraid he got 2 harddrives a hdd and a sdd for windows. Im not sure and this looks like **bleep** to my eyes.
So if I could prevent deleting all partions and do a normal recovery it would be great.
SO I found this and I dont know if its what I should do. coderforlife
But when I type the things in command it doesnt work.
SO guys what should I do? DOnt wanna destroy his laptop cause he needs to use it at saturday.
Best regards Niklas
Btw im not sure if the thread is in the right place. Let me know

I hope there is another computer around using the same version of windows 7. You need to create a repair disc. Then you need to run a startup repair.

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?

Qosmio G45-AV680 - Windows failed to start

My cousin have this laptop and it could not boot the system. It shows message:
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Window installation disk and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."
3. Click "Repair your computer."
If you do not have this disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance. Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible"
I tried to enter SAFE MODE, but it cannot do it. It starts to load drivers, but it stops at one moment and wont continue ...
The problem is that she did not get any DVD with laptop. I suppose that the Vista OS, that came with it is at the special partition on hard disc, but how can I acces it? How can I reinstall the system? I dont mind if I lose data, I just wont to get this to work ...

If recovery DVD is not delivered that means recovery installation can be started from HDD. I don't know how it works exactly on US notebooks. Try to press zero button after start up to see if HDD recovery option can be started.
By the way: check Toshiba US support forum under http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/tshb/
Maybe someone there can explain to you how it works to start HDD OS installation.

JDEV 10.1.3 fails to start after installing updates

After attempting to install the latest updates for JDeveloper 10.1.3 (the updates failed to install), JDeveloper fails to start.
The platform is Windows XP Professional SP1.
Using jdevw.exe, the "splash screen" is the only thing that starts, and it just sits there until you click on it (that closes it!).
Going to a command prompt, and typing jdev.exe, it returns a bunch of errors, most of them are either java.lang.NoSuchMethodException or java.lang.NullPointerException. Each of those errors is accompanied by about 20-25 lines of additional information.
I have searched the forums, and found some similar problems, but did not find a solution that works for me.
Please help!

Thanks for your help.
Here is what I did:
a) Renamed the previous JDEV 10.1.3 install directory (so I could use that name when I reinstalled JDEV)
b) Reinstalled JDEV 10.1.3
c) Installed all updates from the Official Oracle site only. This time, it was successful.
As for things to "carry over" from the old install: I had to copy my Oracle connection information for connection pooling, and I had to reconfigure the CVS connection. The previous applications in "mywork", however, were still in the directory for the previous version (10.1.2) of JDEV, as JDEV did not move it even though them even though they were migrated from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3.

ColdFusion 8 Fails to start after update Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 4

I have been using ColdFusion on a Mac for years. Now CF fails to start after I updated Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4. I usually start by typing in the terminal window sudo /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin/ColdFusion start.
There is a crash report but I don't know how to read it. See attached.
Please help, I need this working for my job.
Thanks...Colin

Dear Craig,
Macbook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB RAM
I'm sure that this is 64-bit
CF 8.0.1 Enterprise Build 3080
I had moved the Java SE 6 to the top in both Plugin and Applications. The
correct version is showing in the terminal window. See below.
Last login: Thu Jun 18 11:27:09 on ttys001
Beta-4:~ Colin$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03-211)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.3-b02-83, mixed mode)
Beta-4:~ Colin$
CF will not start. I have the activity monitor open, and when I start CF you
see it in the activity monitor for a few seconds as it starts up. When the
message process is completed in the terminal window CF disappears in the
activity monitor.
Any suggestions?

Hi, Colin,
My apologies but I forgot to ask 2 questions: (1) What kind of Mac you have
(Intel or PowerPC)? (2) What version of CF are you running and what installer
did you choose (8 or 8.0.1, 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.)?
To start, try the following:
1. Normally you'd shut CF down first ... but that's not necessary for you
2. Open Java Preferences again
3. Select Java SE 6 and move it (drag) to the top spot in both section (Applet
Plugin and Applications)
4. Open Terminal
5. Type java -version (you should see 1.6.0_13 as the new version)
6. Try to start CF again
This may not work (I've had issues with it) but it's technically how it's
supposed to work. With the Java Preferences utility, you're visually setting a
default JVM (you can do it with commands in Terminal but this is much faster
and easier).
If CF still won't start, look for the jvm.config file in your CF application
folder (try /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin or
/Applications/ColdFusion8/runtime/bin -- the latter is where a jvm.config file
is on my machine for a particular version of CF that's installed similar to
yours). You can override the JVM in this file but, hopefully, that won't be
necessary!
Best,
Craig
