Hello All,
I have just finished building a pc from some scraps of 2 older ones, I am trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on the PC using a boot CD but after running it up, I get two screens after the BIOS:
First screen: "Windows Failed to start. A recent hardware error or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
- 1. Insert you windows....
- 2. Choose your lang setting
- 3. Click "repair your pc"
File: \windows\system32\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000000e
The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
Enter = Continue"
So, after pressing Enter, I got this:
Second Screen: " Choose an operating system to start:
(Use arrow keys to highlight your choice, then press ENTER.)
Windows 7 Professional (recovered) *highlighted*
To specify for an advanced option for this choice, press F8
ENTER = Choose ESC= Exit"
So if I choose the option (ENTER), it brings me to Screen 1 and then it will bring me back to screen 2, and so the loop continues.
Please can anyone give me any advice about how to resolve this problem. I know this message is not very concise but I wanted to give you as much info to work with as I could. If you need my specs, here they are below:
___________________
Specs:
Intel i7 960
ASUS RAMPAGE III GENE
4gb Apacer ram
XFX 550W Power supply
Seagate 1TB - has info on it, but was going to wipe it to make it C drive
