Windows only boots if going into bios and then booting, otherwise 0xc000000e

I have a pc dual booted with windows 7 and windows 10. When booting up i always get 0xc000000e device missing, when i press enter to try again it says winload.exe is missing or contains errors. Going into bios then doing Save and quit makes it work but next time i boot up i get same error. Windows 7 boots up perfectly fine. Windows 7 and 10 are on separate drives.

why two OS's??  Sounds like the boot manager is getting lost between which OS to boot with

I dual booted with 2 hard drives before, try repairing Windows 10 by booting off the Windows 10 install media and click repair

Because i have few programs that run only in windows 7 and are very important. How could i fix the boot manager then ?

Do you still have the Windows 10 install media (this could be on a Flash drive or dvd). If so boot from it and choose repair this computer on the bottom left corner

Fair enough and I would first attempt to repair the OS's and see if it clears up the error.  Also does this boot issue happen every time you boot regardless of which OS you were using last session or does it occur primarily when changing between OS's

He says it only occurs with the Windows 10 partition.

Then what I would do is backup all your data, format the windows 10 hard drive, then reinstall windows onto that hard drive

Have done that before posting this. Fresh reinstall did nothing.

Have you checked your hard drive to see if it's on its way out? This error could be sign that the hard drive is getting old and starting to fail.

Uncorrectable error count is 432 on the windows 10 drive. Is it bad ? The drive is pretty old though its a samsung hdd before samsung sold their drives to seagate.

Yeah that I would consider on its way out. Replace it asap, that's the issue. I had a hard drive holding all my steam games fail on me when I first built my computer, I nearly shit my pants when it won't boot after it stopped recognizing it
