Acer Aspire One Notebook AOD260 – No recovery or installation discs.
WDC wd2500bevt 22a23to HDD 250gb
2 partitions:
D
Acer – Capacity 218 Gb NTFS
E Local Disk – 3.99 Gb Fat32
Hoping to find some help in getting this notebook to boot properly again.
My son decided to do a system restore (factory defaults). I have no idea what he did other than hand it to me and said ‘it’s gone weird’.
On boot up it shows a Winload.exe corrupt of missing error 0xc000000f, I tried alt+f10 but after 20mins it errors with 0x45d I/O device error.
I’ve created a multi bootable usb with Hiren's.BootCD.10.6.iso and windows-7-32-bit-repair-disc.iso. Mini XP shows the system seems to be present ie he didn’t format the drive!
The repair disc can’t repair it, it does not identify any OS. I have run it several times and it fails due to ‘Boot Manager Missing or Corrupt’.
I have no options via F8, no WindowsRE, safe mode etc, Boot Win7 only.
I tried Gparted just to view the partitions/volumes and the D Acer, dev/sda2 has ‘status not mounted’ if that’ relevant.
Following the google trail led me to bootrec & options which I followed from http/support.microsoft.com/kb/927392 however, as I was using the win7 repair facility on the usb rather than from WindowsRE I managed to mess the usb stick up and had to redo it. Not even sure it is a MBR type issue.
Any pointers??
