My system froze recently and I forced a shutdown. I had been trying to fix another problem with a USB port that wouldn't reset, but I'm not sure it's related to do my current issue. When I attempted to restart my computer, I got a blue error screen immediately with
Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.
File:\ widnows\system32\winload.exe
Error code 0xc000000f.
I double-checked the boot order and found no issue. I booted off a Windows recovery USB stick. When I attempted to refresh the system, I got a message that it couldn't be done because the drive was locked. Unlock it and try again. When I attempted in the advanced options to repair boot problems, it attempted repair but failed. I opened the command prompt and took a directory of the C drive. It didn't show any of the files on the drive. When I ran CHKDSK it told me no problems were found. It also seemed to indicate that all the files and directories were still on the drive.
I have three drives in my system, 2 ssds and one HDD. I disconnected the other two drives and restarted
but no change. I have been finding various suggestions for using BOOTREC but am hesitant to try it since none of the problems seemed to be a match to mine. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks! =)
