Hi everyone
So basically i turned my pc on today, hadnt changed anything. And couldnt get into my windows 10 install, it said kernal missing or contains errors.
I then used a windows 10 installer usb which i know works and couldnt get into that either, it gives the same error message
The error code is 0xc000221
Sorry to bother everyone i rly just dont kw what to do next
 
Solution
What are specs of the PC?
Is it a custom build or Brand name PC?
If custom, do you know motherboard?
If brand name, what make/model?

Likely need to change bios settings to boot off USB

STATUS_IMAGE_CHECKSUM_MISMATCH
Cause
This bug check results from a serious error in a driver or other system file. The file header checksum does not match the expected checksum.
This can also be caused by faulty hardware in the I/O path to the file (a disk error, faulty RAM, or a corrupted page file).

if kernel is missing, windows won't work at all. But we can try to rescue any info off PC once we can boot off USB and then...
