I tried booting into Vista today as usual and encountered this error:
Code:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the
cause. To fix the problem:
1. insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. choose your language settings, and then click "Next"
3. click "repair your computer"

:
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
I tried restarting a few times with the same results. I looked out my vista installation disk and inserted it, but for some reason nothing changed, as if the disk wasn't recognized. I checked all the connections, reseated all cables going to the disk drive yet it still won't work.
Any ideas what I can do? Is the only way to solve this using the windows installation disk and repairing?
Think I should try and get another dvd drive, or is there a better solution?
Thanks hex
