He gets following prompting message on his screen. He is pretty sure that there is no hardware change before this startup. And he bought that PC for three years and cannot find the Windows installation disc now, let alone to fix the problem as instructed.
It seems like contacting manufacturer may not work because he made some changes to the PC a year ago. Then, what can he do to fix the boot BCD error in Windows 10?
For example:. Status: 0xcf. Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data. Status: 0xce. Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt. Status: 0xc Some of them account for non system disk or disk error , while some have other causes. Therefore, it is important to figure out what caused the issue and what you can do to fix the issue.
