I have a desktop computer, build by myself almost 2 years ago now. Last week I was doing some file cleanup and I think I must have accidentally deleted some vital Windows files. I know, stupid me, but now I can't get my computer to get past the loading screen.
I have Windows 7 64-bit, and when I try to start normally it goes to a black screen and gives me an error: "Status: 0xc000000f" and "Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible". Not really sure what this means.
So I have tried booting from my SSD (I have 2 hard drives, an SSD for Windows and a HDD for my files and games) and it would keep giving me this error. So I decided I should try to reinstall Windows, as I have the disc and everything.
I've tried to reinstall Windows, but I click on "Install Now" and after a moment it tells me "A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing... ". I have tried downloading every driver I could think of for my motherboard (ASUS Sabertooth) and disc drive (ASUS as well). I try using these drivers but they don't work so I get stuck at this screen.
I have also tried repairing Windows, but (of course) I don't have any previously saved images of my computer, and when I run the diagnostics it just has the computer restart and everything starts all over again.
So, I am looking for ideas from anyone what is wrong and how I can fix it.
P.S. I have also tried resetting the BIOS settings and even booting from other drives.
