Windows 7 Boot Error 0Xc000000e or f

This is a real nasty Win7 Bug Error and it occurs as may a scanner or a extern Harddrive hasn't been removed correctly.

The fix which Microsoft suggests doesn't work unless some manual tasks have been done.!

Here is the HOW TO DO:

All out of nowhere my Laptop got this Error 0xc000000e and also 0Xc000000f.
All was working fine, shut down the Laptop (is a HP 6320) and on the next New Start I saw myself confronted with this error and similar ones.

There is another way to fix it, than Microsoft suggests..

Set up a new Windows 7 on a extra disc, copy out the BOOT directory from the SYSTEM DRIVE which actually has no DRIVE LETTER .

Then slave the Original HARDDRIVE which has the Error to another computer and Overwrite all the files in \Boot of the 200MB partition which is actually hidden by the OS and also has NO DRIVELETTER.

Use the diskmanager of Windows 7 from the new install to add a driveletter to the 200MB parition on the drive with the ERROR. The new install you dont need to activate or anything like that because we just use it as a toolt to repair the Original Install.

When finish don't forget to remove the Driveletter.

Return the Repaired HARDDRIVE/OS to it's Computer housing and then start the Computer using the Windows 7 Original DVD.

Input location and language and on the next part select REPAIR COMPUTER.

IT may take a few minutes (on my system it took about 1.5 minutes) and then it will tell you that it has a option to repair the OS

GO for it and click on Repair & restart and everything is as it has been.

BTW I've read some Forum Blogs where the Bug is related to Acronis.
BUT it isn't actually ACRONIS which causes the problems, it's more likely when a USB scanner or Extern Harddrive hasen't been removed correctly.

I use about ten computers running win7 and even with a version of Acronis which actually will not run on Win7 without applying a little Tweak, it never has happen that it crashes on any Machine.

Before this has happen I used a SCANNER and I removed it without to disconnect the proper way. Ater this I got that error.
