I've been facing the issue for about 4 months now, and I didn't make any changes prior.

I've been in this loop where once I turn on my computer, it goes straight to a "Recovery Your PC needs to be repaired" page. and right below that it says "Error Code: 0xc0000221". I've tried all of the boot options and tried to use the windows installation CD by setting the boot device priority to CD/DVD Drive, but it doesn't change anything... Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance :D

Use the windows installation dvd and click on repair your computer.

Click troubleshooting, open a command prompt

Type these in

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd

Take out the cd from the drive then reboot (using your hard drive)

The installation media doesn't change anything, it still goes straight to Recovery page when I start up my computer. It doesn't give me a troubleshooting or command prompt option
