Hello... I have been having a boot problem with my HP pavilion ultrabook (14-b030st). I was trying to reinstall Windows(8) using HP Recovery Manager's Minimized Image Recovery application and I got a screen all of a sudden with the Windows Boot Manager message saying: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem: 1. Insert your windows installation disc and... 2. ... 3. ... ..................... File: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD, STATUS: 0xc000000f, Info: The Boot Configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains errors, ESC=UEFI Firmware Settings ... When I hit esc I get a Startup Menu: F1 System Information, F2 System Diagnostics, F9 Boot Device Options, F10 BIOS Setup F11 System Recovery, ENTER - Continue Startup, For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup ... The problem is I get the same Windows Boot Manager message screen when I press F9, F10, F11 and ENTER, not allowing me to recover the system or choose another boot device... I connected an external DVD drive to the computer and put a Windows installation disc in it but it simply didn't work with the screen showing the same Boot Manager message. I also tried Windows and B keys and startup button combination pressing and holding them down all at once only to get a black screen. Even i made a bootable USB key with the appropriate version of HP TOOLS containing UEFI Support Environment but it didn't function either... Please help me solve this... regards
