    Hi all,

    I have a very serious problem.

    Some misguided Microsoft tech asked that I perform the following:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

    Immediately after the restart I was faced with the following message:

    Windows failed to start.
    Status: 0xc000000e
    Info: A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.

    Startup Repair doesn't work. - Root cause found: the partition table does not have a valid Sys Part.
    System Restore doesn't work - system cannot find the file specified (0x80070002)
    Bootrec -rebuildbcd doesn't work - Element not found.
    Bootcfg doesn't work - Cannot open BOOT.INI file.
    Bcdedit doesn't work - The requested system device cannot be found.
    Gparted doesn't work - can't load module ntfs: invalid argument.

    How can this be fixed, please?

    Press F8 before Windows 7 starts to load. Then select Safe mode.

    If that won't work, check boot order from BIOS.

    Do you have Windows 7 install DVD ? This can be a number of things, Sounds like a Bad install...
