contrast1 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Hi I have a hp pavillion dv 6000 laptop with vista home premium I just did a full system restore it was alright at first then I shut it downthen after I started it up again it says...Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or softwar change might be the cause. To fix the problem: 1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart yoru computer.2. Choose language settings, and then click Net.3. Click Repair your computer.I can not get to the recovery menu pressing f11 because that ^ shows up everytime.If you do nt have this disc, contact your sys admin or computer mfgr for assistance. File: \Boot\BCDStatus: 0xc000014cInfo: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.The problem is that I have the windows intstallation disc but my disc drive is not working/not booting from discIf I got a external disc drive could I just plug it in and boot from the disc or would I have to setup the external disc drive?
