No Boot
I have a Dell Optiflex 760 Vista computer that will not boot. I get a black windows boot manage window, At the bottom it says: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot conguration data.
file: \Boot\BCD Status: Oxc000000f I can not get into the recovery partition. I don't have the installation disc. When I put in a Win7 disc I get the message: Selected boot device not available. IS the HD bad or is the Boot sector or BIOS corrupted? |
Get into the CMOS/BIOS Setup and see if the hard drive is listed. If not, the hard drive cables/connections may be loose or, it's dead. :(
While you're in the CMOS/BIOS Setup, you can set it to try and boot from the CD/DVD drive before it tries to boot from the hard drive. But, even then, if the BIOS can't see the hard drive, neither will any operating system. |
That error will occur when either:
The Windows Boot Manager (Bootmgr) entry is not present in the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store. The Boot\BCD file on the active partition is damaged or missing. You will need a Vista Disc to repair it there is two ways to do it once you have a disc; I would download a copy of vista (ISO) and burn to a DVD, then boot from it; https://www.raymond.cc/blog/how-to-b...-vista-to-dvd/ Since you are not installing just using it to repair you don't need the "Key"
If the Bootrec.exe tool cannot locate any missing Windows installations, you must remove the BCD store, and then you must re-create it. To do this, type the following commands in the order in which they are presented. Press ENTER after each command. Bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old Bootrec /rebuildbcd Restart the computer. 2nd option use the Bcdedit.exe tool:
