Question Booting problem

CaptainUselessMan · Dec 22, 2021

Hi.So I got windows 10 and it was installed for some time and l tried to reinstall the window again with a usb stick and I get a error:

"Windows manager boot.Windows failed to start.A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.File:\Boot\BCD. And status 0xc0000098"

Now indeed I tried a different HDD so that cause the problem.But the other problem is I cant fix it.This error appears only when I'm trying to boot from USB to get into the windows installation , if I'm trying to boot into the windows that is already installed it's all fine.But I cant use this windows that I have right now I wanna install a fresh one.

Also I tried a few things by searching the problem first so let me tell you about them:

I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the HDD
I tried a different HDD and still same error ,
I tried in cmd commands bootrec /fixboot and others commands rebuild bcd and others ,
I tried windows repair and its said it cant be repaired ,
I tried in bios to change the boot order from USB to HDD and them from HDD to USB and still nothing.

So.... I dont know what else to do.I dont care about the windows that is installed right now so if it's there any solution to hard reset the whole pc or something I'll do it , I'll do anything just to resolve the problem.I also gonna repeat myself the thing appears only when I'm trying to install the windows , not when I'm trying to boot the windows.

The windows installation is easiest when there is only one disk drive connected and the drive is blank with all of the space unallocated and only the gpt identifier marked.

Not a solution, but have you tried booting other usb keys if you have them, some third party what ever, just to see if the sytem is working properly. Also have you tried changing the boot in bios to legacy to see if its formatted differently?

Here is what google shows.

I tried other usb keys and if legacy mean default settings then yes I tried that too.

The problem is from what I see this error was supposed to happend when you open your windows not when you try to install the win ... so basically I'm dealing with a non sense <Mod Edit> that makes no sense.This is just cursed

I dont know if the USB fails before you start the install or not, but if before you could put in another computer and see if it starts up. That will tell you if the usb is the problem or the computer.

So I really need to enter the repair mode that's starting if you restart the pc but every time I wait for it instead of entering the automatic repair mode it's saying " recovery your pc couldn't start properly error code 0xc00000e9 " I cant open the windows cuz I'm getting blue screen and I also can't use a usb with the windows setup cuz of a different problem.I have a recovery point saved and I wanna use it but I cant open the automatic repair and also safe mode not working and if I try to f8 to advanced mode nothing is happening...So what can I do to enter the automatic repair so I can use the recovery mode?

whats different problem?

0xc00000e9 is a boot error so best bet you have is to boot off the usb. Something amiss with the boot files on C drive.

F8 won't get you into safe mode as its disabled at boot. Only way to get into safe mode requires windows to at least get to the logon screen, or for you to get into recovery first.

Hate to be annoying but first dont just say need help. You will be better off with a little description as then people who are scanning the titles might say Oh I see his problem and can help cause I know the answer. Rather than Pass...

Anyway Your going to have to get your recovery or reinstall cd/USB working. You cant get to the recovery portion because possible its broken before it gets there. If the ignition of the car is broken you cant start the perfectly good engine. If you can start the cd/usb then you can on the install software press repair and get some troubleshoot options. There are no miracles.

Well when I try to put the usb and boot into the windows setup it's says "Windows manager boot.Windows failed to start.A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.File:\Boot\BCD. And status 0xc0000098" So I can't do nothing about it ... I swap recently my HDD and since then I got this error when I'm trying to install the windows.It's not the HDD fault cuz I tried with others and still got the error, I actually made another thread on this subject.So ...yeah... idk what to do

Did you create a NEW USB to install with?

I dont know exactly what you mean by new , like the usb is new ? Or the installation on the usb is new? Cuz I used this usb to install the windows alot, actually 1 week ago I used it so it's not new but it's working cuz I tested it.

Disconnect all your storage devices and try to boot from USB windows installation media.
Do you get the same error?
If yes, then installation media is faulty. Recreate it.

If you're not getting the same error, then previously you were booting from some other device (not your USB drive).

I disconnected my HDD and yes I got the same error , so that means is the usb stick fault right? I shoud just recreate the win installation , right?

Isn't that kind of obvious?
Windows installation media is giving you BCD error. This means - BCD store on the media is corrupted/invalid.
Who knows, that else is corrupted on it?
Yes. Recreate it. May be use a different USB flash drive.
