I support a group of users (500+). Over the last week, I've seen three different computers who get the following message when they boot up:
Goes on to talk about the recovery console, etc, etc.
This problem has happened on three different laptops, each with a different image, and different model.
We cannot boot into the recovery console or try to repair the disk through other outside means because these drives are encrypted. While we can decrypt them and run things like chkdisk or copy over the file in question, we just find it's faster to give them a fresh computer/image.
I'm not really looking for help in how to resolve this error; once you get this, there are only a finite number of steps you can take to repair it. My real concern comes from the fact that this has happened 3 times in one week on three *different* computers at three different locations across the country. Any ideas as to why this has happened? Or could it just be coincidence? Google hasn't been much help in helping me find a root cause, besides a failing hard drive.
Thanks!
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
