Just recently, I was experiencing a disk read error or something to that extent after an unusually sluggish windows session, an error in Firefox's plugin container, and a hard reboot.
\windows\system32\config\system
status 0xc00000e9
windows failed to load because system registry file is missing or corrupt.
After several failed attempts to boot...
I partitioned, formatted, and reinstalled the OS, since a repair/boot cd is not available, and all I have is a recovery cd.
After installing all the current updates, Vista needed to restart, doing so yielded the same exact problem... different message... Hard Disk read error.
My hard disk is found in the BIOS no problem, but when attempting to reinstall the OS again, a hard disk cannot be found... so I assumed my hard disk had failed.
I purchased a new sata hard drive, installed it, (replacing the old one) and it was found in the bios...
Anyway... I finally got the new hard drive plugged in and working with Vista installed, and used the computer normally with no problems whatsoever. I re-downloaded all the drivers, everything was great...
Until today about 3 weeks after the new hard drive installation... the plugin container for firefox was acting up it seemed... browser kept freezing... then something totally weird happened.
A Japanese Windows error message popped up none of it made any sense to me except this:
0xc00000e9
I knew exactly what was about to happen next... I clicked OK, The pc locked up, and I restarted... and bam... same problem as before...
\windows\system32\config\system
status 0xc00000e9
windows failed to load because system registry file is missing or corrupt.
I knew it was going to be a pain in the ass... So... I looked online for any solutions.
I read somewhere that you were allowed to download and burn an iso of a windows repair cd. So I did...
At the repair menu, I am told that a repair could not be completed...
The only thing that stood out to me is...
Problem Signature 6: NoHardDrive
Is this because I need to boot sata drivers in order for it to find my HDD?
...or is my computer just screwed?
Does this sound like a hardware failure... in the motherboard maybe? or is some weird firefox plugin thingy coincidence breaking my vista installations/hard drives.
Any help or insight is appreciated.
