I've failed to troubleshoot this problem on my own for the last four days.
After clean install of Vista Home Premium as the the only OS on the drive,
Vista will eventually BSOD. Upon restart, Vista fails to start and gives the
following message:
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
Automatic repair using Vista install disk fail. The repair attempts, but
fails, to add the following startup options:
Name: (recovered)
Path: Windows
Windows Device: Partition=C: (24350 MB)
Startup Repair fails and reports the following problem signature:
Event Name: StartupRepair V2
Signature 01: ExternaMedia
Signature 02: 6.0.6000.16386.0.0.0.0
Signature 03: 0
Signature 04: 65537
Signature 05: unknown
Signature 06: NoOsinstalled
Signature 07: 0
Signature 08: 1
Signature 09: FixPartitionTable
Signature 10: 1392
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033
Manual repair from KB article 927392 had no effect
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/927392/en-us). In fact, after
rebuilding the BCD and attempting file operations on it, i.e. enum, attrib,
etc., BCD is reported as not found.
Memory and hard drive diagnostics pass.
Clean install of Windows XP Pro worked fine. Deleted partition and clean
installed Ubuntu Linux 7.0.4, which also worked fine.
After successive clean reinstalls of Vista as the only OS on one large
partition, same problem occurs within 45 minutes of starting the OS for the
first time, sometimes during installation, sometimes after logon. This
failure is consistent and repeatable.
So, my question is why the BSOD that repeatedly makes Vista unbootable and
unrepairable?
