Hellooo! Just booted up my Laptop today to find a BSOD error 0xc0000001 File:windows system 32 winload.efi

My computer wont allow me to enter safe mode so I am unable to make a repair disk. It also skips right past Automatic Repair.

Someone help! Thanks, Rob

unplug any USB thumb drives and reboot your system and see if windows can find the drive. If not, enter BIOS and check that the drive shows up in the listings. Most often the drive assignments get reassigned and you just need to boot on a USB or CD and change them back with the repair disk or the diskpart.exe tool.
