The boot configuration data for your Pc is missing or contains errors: error code 0x000014c
Hello,
See if any body may help here... I get this blue screen:
RECOVERY
Your PC needs to be repaired:
The Boot Configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains errors.
file:\\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD
Error code: 0xc000014c
You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media (like a a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer.
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.

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.

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. -

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:

Have use WinRAR to pull out only Bonjour64 from iTunes 11.1.5 (and prior releases) to do an install of only Bonjour, as all other iTunes-related software loads fine (have used 11.1.4 and new 11.1.5). I get the error: "The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel." Have tried everything suggested on net and this forum, including uninstalling everything, cleaning registry, disabling firewall, etc. Not worthwhile to reinstal Windows 7. What do I do?
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page). Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.

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"
3. Click "Repair your computer"
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc0000098
Info: The windows Boot Configuration Data file does not contain a valid OS entry.
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?
thanks a lot for your helphello,

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

Java 1.4.2_03 Windows: The configuration data for this product is corrupt.
Trying to install j2SE 1.4.2_03 JRE on a Windows system (exact version needed for a bussiness application) after all previous Java installations have been deleted and all Windows Registry Java related keys have been manually deleted with Regedit.exe.
The EXE installer works properly in other machines but in this one it stops after a few seconds with the following message:
"The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel".
The problem is related to the Windows install mechanism rather than the Java installer itself and likely caused by the manual Registry deletion.
The error code is 1610: ERROR_BAD_CONFIGURATION.
Reinstalling Windows didn't fix the problem.
Unable to recover the system to a previous state with the System Recovery Tool (Accesories/System Tools).
Other versions of Java installers fail the same way and show the same message.
I don't know how to contact "my support personnel" nor who they are.
I'd appreciate any help about this problem or what Java installers need within the Registry to work or a clue of any kind.Sorry for the duplicated message. It's my first post and I messed up a little with the right section.
A new downloaded copy of the file or other versions of Java failed to install with the same error message.
I've learned there is a product ID in the registry that must be present for the installer to run. I'm searching for this "mysterious" product ID and how to set the right Windows XP Registry entry for the JSE 1.4.2_03 version.
I'm still not sure this will fix the problem.
Thanks for replying. -
