TLDR: system image won't work and i can't even "get on" my computer" so now what?
I had some wacky stuff go down while disabling programs on start up. when i was done and my pc restarted it kept giving me a nice little error by the status of 0xc000000e with the Info: the boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible. however when i put in my windows instillation disk and run the typical system start-up repair nothing happens and I continue to get the error. so worse comes to worst and I figure heck might as well use a system Image, however when i try that it tells me that my HDD is unformatted (i have two SSD's and one HDD, the OS is located on one of the SSD's)
1 I open up the whole windows installation and tell it to repair
2 it then opens system recovery Options showing me the options of A. use recovery tools that can help fix problems starting windows. below that it shows a little open area with my operating system partition size and location however in these fields it tells me my partition size is 0MB and the location is (unknown) Lo.... yes with the Lo... i can't tell what is ses but its there. Option B. Restore your computer using system image that you created.
3 for the sake of reason i go with the image i created
4 so it takes me to the next page ad everything is normal it even tells me that the image is stored on my HDD it also tells me date and time when i made it as well as my computer name. here Option C. use latest available system image (recommended) and D. select a System Image.
5 using logic once again I select the latest available image and hit next
6 only to get the wonderful warning statement saying: the system image is on a hard disk, but windows needs to format the disk to restore your computer. Choose a different restore image.
7 so i go back and do option D. select a system image. of course me being me I only have that 1 system image on the HDD and so with no other choice i select it and it brings me back to the page to execute its use.
8 of course i get the same message saying windows needs to format that disk to restore your computer.
and so I admit defeat at this point and beg for salvation from a greater power.
