Can’t Boot 0xc000000f Error

Posted on by mymce

Problem:

I am trying to resolve the error “0xc000000f”, I have tried all the methods I have hired online, but none of the options are viable and I cannot copy the boot files.

Resolution:

The error code 0xc000000f typically indicates a problem with missing or corrupt system files that are essential for Windows to boot.

While a failing hard drive can cause this error, there are tools to verify your drive’s health. You may get those in the support site of the website of the manufacturer.

  1. Boot your computer with a Windows 10 installation media (USB or DVD). You can create one using another computer following instructions from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f-aa6f-40c3b507420d.
  2. During bootup, choose “Repair your computer” on the first screen.
  3. Select “Troubleshoot” > “Advanced options” > “Startup Repair.”
  4. This will attempt to automatically diagnose and fix the issue preventing Windows from booting.

======================

  1. Follow steps 1 and 2 from the Automatic Repair section above.
  2. In the “Advanced options” menu, select “Command Prompt.”
  3. Run the following commands one by one, pressing Enter after each:
    • bootrec /fixmbr
    • bootrec /fixboot
    • bootrec /rebuildbcd
  4. These commands attempt to repair the Master Boot Record (MBR), boot sector, and rebuild the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) which might be corrupted.

===========

  1. Follow steps 1 and 2 from the Automatic Repair section above.
  2. In the Command Prompt, type chkdsk /f c: (replace ‘c’ with your drive letter) and press Enter.
