I have a Gateway NV53 laptop, and a while back I restarted it and it just wouldn't turn on. I've tried windows install disc, windows recovery disc, but i keep getting this "Error Code 0xc000000000f" it is telling me it wants me to boot from my recovery CD, but it won't let me. Anyone know what i can do to fix this?

Have you tried the standard troubleshooting steps like checking and fixing the MBR entries? You may have caught something, or installed something that messed around with the MBR.
