0xc0000225

I bought a computer with Windows Vista installed on it, and i decided to
install XP on it as well. I have been running XP and Vista fine for some
time, but randomly i get an error when i try to boot into Vista. I think i
may know what caused it, but i am not positive. I was adjusting my partitions
and adding more space to my Vista partition when a dialouge box popped up
saying there were some problems with the tables in the G: (Vista) partition.
So thinking that there was something wrong, i told it to fix them. Well,
after that, i couldnt boot into vista.

When i try to boot into Vista, i get a screen 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 restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."
3. Click "Repair your computer."

If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer
manufacturer for assistance.

File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

Status: 0xc0000225

Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is
missing or corrupt."


The problem with the first part is i dont have the disc, which eliminates
that way to fix it. And the problem with the second part is my computer
manufacturer not going to help me because i bought the computer off of ebay
and i dont have a warranty on it anymore.

So im not exactly sure what i can do....i have a backup of my files on my
external hard drive, but not my programs, which would be a hassel to
reinstall and download. I am also thinking of just ditching XP because i
almost never use it, but that doesnt effect anything. Im stuck.

This can be installed on XP, too.
It should fix your boot problem,
and it's a free program.

I'm not sure how that is supposed to fix my problem. I can't boot vista
because i get an error (0xc0000225) which i believe was caused when i was
resizing partitions. And now it cant find winload.exe because i believe the
partition tables are messed up. If that can help me, could you tell me what
to do?

Yes, i am dual booting XP and Vista. I installed it on XP, and did what you
said, but i think you misunderstood my problem. I can get to the bootloader
fine, but there is something wrong with my partition. I was in Norton
partition magic and a box popped up saying that some tables were corrupt in
my vista partition, so i had it fix them, then after that, i couldnt boot
into vista. I can boot into XP fine, and i have the choice for vista, but it
fails to start. So im not exactly sure how installing the boot loader will
fix it, seeing as it is already installed.

Sorry, I don't know what to suggest. You did, at least,
do what I asked? Humor me, please.

I don't believe Norton Partition Magic is compatible with
Vista and its slightly different NTFS. Stop using it.

Your only option is to reinstall Vista, but you don't
have a disk. What version of Vista is installed? If it's
Business or Ultimate- did you ever do a CompletePC Backup?

I did do what you suggested, just in case it would fix it, but i did not. I
used norton partition magic to make the partition in the first place, then
vista did the rest. I do have Ultimate, but i didnt do the backup, however, i
do have a backup from Norton 360 so that might help a bit.

Thanks for your input however. Hopefully there is some fix, otherwise i will
have to go out and buy Ultimate, which would not be fun.

No it wouldn't be fun. The only people that would find such a waste of money
fun, are people like Frank, Andre Da Costa-ya Alot, Bill Yawner, HeyBub,
Jupiter "the Mouth" Jones and other Fista fanboys.

Cheers.
