I just did a system recovery on this laptop following a destructive virus. I did a complete system recovery and it seemed to be okay. After re-applying a whole bunch of MS updates, the system restarted, but wouldn't boot. It went into Windows Boot Manager and prompted me to insert the Windows install disc, along with the following:
Status: 0xc000000e
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible..
I ran the diags from the partition and the pre-boot system assessment ran normally. At the end of it, the box pops up that reads "Booting Diagnostic Utility Partition. Press any key to continue." I hit a key and the message appears on top that reads "Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart". I do that and I get a blue screen with the message "Running MATS Test - Pure call!" on the bottom.
Does this mean there's a hardware failure? If so, how can I determine which component? If not, any other ideas? Thank you in advance.
