Why wont windows open?

[Mirand]

I have windows 32bit home premium and I dont know what I did but i went to turn on my desktop and all it said to me was:
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1.Insert your Windows installation disk and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, then click "next"
3.click repair your computer

if you do not have this disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

File: \Boot\BCD

Status: 0xc000000f

Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data."


I do not have the disk and I tried to use the F8 key but it didnt do anything. I tried going to F12 and the partition wouldnt work (it just said that it failed and i had to reboot). I tried F2 and went through everything and nothing worked. It always went to the boot manager fail message. Can anyone help?

Hello Mirand,
Can you boot to safe mode ?.
If you can get to safe mode open a command prompt as administrator and type sfc/scannow press enter and let it scan, if errors are found you may have to run it again until system is clean.

Also there are other options you can try that will rebuild your MBR.
Follow the link below.

Try this and post your results, good luck.

reinstall bcd: Download EasyBCD 1.7.2 - NeoSmart Technologies

sfc /scannow should be also good, but if you cant get into safe mode you might have to run it from the vista disc command line.
