Windows 7 won't boot with c000000e error

[computerdoc]

The system suddenly won't boot and I didn't make any hardware or major software changes. I don't have a repair disk. How can I get windows RE from another system?

I have access to another computer to download if necessary

What is the best way to repair this?

Is this KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR - 0xC000000E?

That's usually an indication of a bad hard drive.

 

[computerdoc]

The code is the one you indicated but I didn't see the description that you provided and I saw online that others had corrected the problem by using diskpart to make a certain inactive partition active and making some modifications as follows.

I'm Fixed - 0xc000000e problem!!!

1. First Load Windows RE from Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2
2. Open Diskpart and make problematic partition Active
3. Open bcdedit and you should get something like this:

Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier {default}
device unknown <===0xc000000e problem!
path \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description Windows Server 2008 R2
locale en-US
inherit {bootloadersettings}
recoverysequence {e0025536-b36d-11de-aadd-ddc0b5870e2c}
recoveryenabled Yes
osdevice unknown <===0xc000000e problem!
systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {e0025534-b36d-11de-aadd-ddc0b5870e2c}
nx OptOut
hypervisorlaunchtype Auto


4. Enter these commands:

bcdedit /set {Your-OS-Identifier} device partition=X:
bcdedit /set {Your-OS-Identifier} osdevice partition=X:
bcdedit

Where X: - drive letter with your problematic OS in Windows RE. You can find it by opening notepad and pressing save

5. Reboot

Windows RE isn't a special disk. It is the Recovery Environment on any Windows 7 Install CD.

I generated it and got into it on the problem computer.

When I make the c drive partition active and tried to save a notepad file, it showed me 3 disks, the c drive, a recovery drive and a drive called x: boot.

How can I find the name of my OS and which disk should it be assigned to?

Is that from something you copied or are you saying you fixed it ?

I smell pizza.....

I smell pizza.....

Me too.

 

[computerdoc]

That's from something I copied.

I let the RE do a system repair and that fixed it.

I do find it odd that you have been on these forums for about 5 years, apparently been doing this type of work for awhile...

Yet you don't know about win 7 recovery, or what the drive X: is when using the RE?

 

[nlinecomputers]

Until it happens again. I repeat my comment about it being a sign of a bad hard drive. You should do diagnostics on the hard drive and confirm that this was just a freak accident and not a failing drive or a virus.

ninecomputers;

You have a good point and CrystalDiskInfo indicates caution and high disk temperature and a caution on pending disk sector count.

Would you suggest cloning the disk at this point and replacing it or attempting to improve the cooling of the laptop?

Michaelbits,

You have good point and I apologize for my frazzled answers. I was quite upset about the problem and really did not properly think through some of my responses.

Both. Your drive is already having problems.

Maybe it is just bad. Maybe you have a cooling issue that ruined it. But it's time is short.

Clone and drive and get a new one. Obviously keep your customer in the loop.

 

[computerdoc]

I cloned the failing drive to a larger 1 tb drive using Acronis clone.

I am working on cooling the system better now by removing the battery when on AC power and will look into a cooling base.
