Are you getting startup errors in Microsoft Windows Vista? Has your Windows Vista operating system based computer become unbootable and your data is totally inaccessible? The problem usually occurs because of missing or corrupted startup files from your Windows Vista computer. In such cases, the operating system cannot get enough resources to boot and errors are thrown. At this time, you cannot get into your system and access your hard disk partitions. It leads to critical partition loss and requires Windows partition recovery.
When you try to start your Microsoft Windows Vista computer, you may encounter the below error message:
"File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc0000034
Info: The Windows Boot Configuration Data file is missing required information."
The boot process is stopped with this error message. It happens every time you try to boot your system from the Windows hard drive. To access your Windows hard drive partitions in such situations, you need to identify the cause of this behavior and recover the partition using the appropriate tools.
What Causes BCD Errors in Windows Vista?
You may encounter this behavior from the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system if any of the conditions below are true:
The Bootmgr (Windows Boot Manager) entry is not present in the BCD (Boot Configuration Data) store.
The Boot\BCD system file on the active Windows hard disk partition is missing or corrupted.
How to Fix BCD Errors in Windows Vista?
Follow the steps below in an orderly manner to work around this issue:
Restore the boot configuration data store using the Startup Repair option. The Startup Repair option is not accessible in the Windows Recovery Environment.
Rebuild the Boot Configuration Data store using the Bootrec.exe utility. You should opt for this option if the above method does not help.
Manually rebuild the boot configuration data store using the Bcdedit.exe utility. The tool can be accessed through the Windows Recovery Environment.
If all else fails, format your hard drive and reinstall the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It replaces all damaged system and startup files.
However, formatting solves all system related issues but also deletes hard drive partitions and increases the need for partition recovery software.
