WINDOWS 7 IS NOT BOOTING! ERROR: 0xc000000e Does anyone know how to fix this?

Ruppe · Oct 8, 2014

Hi. I just replaced my CPU radiator fans in my pc. While doing that I had to unplug the CPU cord that goes into the motherboard. Do you think that is why I'm getting this error? It says to fix the problem I need to do these steps...
1.Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "nexts"
3. Click "Repair your computer."

Everything was going fine until I clicked "repair your computer." Every time I clicked it, it would say "This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of Windows." I REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE COULD HELP ME!!! I don't know what to do, and I have a lot of files, and other things on this computer! Thanks in advance!

The issue is with the boot sector of your HDD or SSD. The BIOS settings could be corrupted. Check the settings to ensure they are correct. If Windows won't repair the problem - you may have to reinstall Windows.

Did you mistakenly insert a 32-bit DVD into a 64-bit system (or vice versa)?

If I reinstalled windows could I get everything back on it that I previously had? I don't think the HDD or SSD is corrupted because I was using the pc about an hour before and it was working great. I'm about to check to see if I unplugged one of the drives by accident. Yes, it is a 64 bit CD. Thanks for the quick responses!

What version of Windows 7 are you using? Does the DVD match the version installed on your system?

ronintexas · Oct 8, 2014

Check the BIOS as well....if the BIOS was cleared accidentally from the power being removed, your settings may have changed.

Yes, I have the 64 bit system installed. Do you think that I would be able to recover my files and applications if I had to reinstall windows?

If you reinstall Windows as an upgrade - the data (documents, music, videos, pictures) will all be there - the Windows folder will be renamed and Windows will be installed again. Most likely you will have to reinstall all of your programs. The upgrade doesn't delete anything - just fixes the boot sector and the Windows folders.

Thank you! Would I also have to install the drivers for all the parts?

ronintexas · Oct 8, 2014

Yes. It is a pain in the backside... All programs, drivers and settings have to be done again. It doesn't read the previous installation of Windows.

ronintexas :

Just to be clear, do you think there is any other way? I've seen some other forums that said something about you can use another pc to fix the issue, but I didn't understand it. I do have another PC available if that would help me for anything?

There are programs out there from several sources - but I don't trust them (they appear to be "shady" sites that install malware). Microsoft has an article on it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2004518

It goes through the repair cycle....it is rather lengthy....
