Windows: Boot failure.

[Johannes_Lazor]

My main computer wont boot into windows, You see the specs in my signature.

It says "Status: 0xc000000e"

And after that it says: "Information: The chosen start alternative failed becouse a required device is inaccessible"





I dont think it is the boot drive, Since it can read that i want to boot windows.

It says i should put in the windows CD, But the problem is that i cant even go into the BIOS since my keyboard isnt powered, I have tried with a old analog keyboard too, But it didnt help.


I have not added any new hardware or updated/installed any new software in a week or two either, So i dont see any reason why it should not boot now.



To me it seems like the motherboard might have failed, But im not sure.

Try unplugging all USB devices and then booting.

I dont have any other stationary computers at hand exept for a old machine with a single-core semptron with 512mb ram, It is not capable of running a virtual machine.

Remove CMOS battery for 30 seconds, reinsert.

That seems to have done it, Now both the USB devices are powered, And i get into windows.. I dont see why the BIOS should have stopped windows from booting though.
