Hi,
I have the standard \Boot\Bcd Status: 0xc000000f error that seems to be quite frequent around the internet what complicates my problems is that when I reboot I do not get any "press F2 to enter bios" splash. I have tried repeatedly pressing F2 anyway, and then F12 for the boot menu, and then all the rest of the F keys on the off chance anything would happen.
I also tried to boot from the recovery dvd without any luck, and also with another Win 7 install disk I had at home. I also tried to boot from an ubuntu flash drive without any luck. It seems never to try to boot from anything other than the HDD even when it was removed it never loaded the dvd.
I have tried the thing with removing the battery for a while and put it back and then press the power button for 10 seconds without any change, did also remove the ram and tried rebooting with all possible combinations of modules and slots.
I have moved the HDD to another machine to save all my data and there is no problem with the disk. As a final resort I tried to repair the BOOT sector on that machine following the steps found here: social.technet.microsoft.com, again this changed nothing.
I'm at my wits end please help me is there anything else I could do to get it working again.
