    Recovery Your PC/Device needs to be repaired The Boot Configuration Data file doesn't contain valid information for an operating system. File: \BCD Error code: 0x0000098 You'll need to use recovery tools. It you don't have any installation media like a disc or USB device, contact your PC administrator o PC/Device manufacturer.

    Unable to boot; 0xc000000f error on start

    @axe0 - No, there was no file mentioned, although the error code remained the same. After I used the bootsec.exe /nt60 command the File: boot/bcd line appeared, which can be seen in the photos.
    @zbook - I'll try what you have suggested and post the results. As for the assigned drive letters, no I don't know why they already have assigned letters. As far as I can recall, those were in fact the drive letters they were assigned when the computer was working, but I didn't reassign them during the troubleshooting process. The steps I had already taken are listed in the original post. I had tried to rebuild the BCD previously, but with the same results (i.e. didn't have access, system not found etc.)

    UnattendedJoin error: failed to find the domain data (0x6e)

    Thanks for the suggestion! I don't want to add a domain account, as this is a generic unattended install that will be used for all company machines. Do you think it's possible that the computer would join the domain if, instead of using UnattendedJoin in specialize, I used your steps but left out the specific account? The other thing I was thinking was to use a generic account to allow the domain join during the specialize step. I added a machine password in the UnattendedJoin component, and instead of getting the error listed above, I got an authentication error, which makes me think I could probably do a secure join instead of the unsecure join. Thoughts?

    Start Up Error -Win10

    Thank you for your reply but if you refer to my post you will see that I have already performed this step without success. I have also downloaded autoruns but I don't see the error listed so I can't delete it Les Price
