Windows error 0Xc000000f windows failed to boot, Windows\System32\winload.exe is corrupt or missing

I’ve only seen the error “Windows error 0Xc000000f windows failed to boot, Windows\System32\winload.exe is corrupt or missing” once. From the reading I did found out I would need to run a repair on Windows. I went to here and downloaded the Vista repair iso.

1. You will have to burn the cd and boot from it.
2. Selected your language.
3. At the bottom right (or was it left) I clicked the Repair option.
4. Windows will do a quick scan then came back and say it found an issue with my startup files and asked if i wanted to repair and reboot.
5. I chose ok and reboot was successful!

I hope this helps you with the “Windows error 0Xc000000f windows failed to boot, Windows\System32\winload.exe is corrupt or missing” error.
