Blue Screen 0x0000006B - PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

Hi,

You will need to find one for your version of Windows. If needed check with the computer

shops in your area. So you don't have the original install media?

Looking more and more like a hard drive, cabling, or other hardware issue. You can't fix

hardware with software.

I did what you said, and they all completed successfully. But /scanos and /rebuildbcd both said there were 0 found Windows installations and then they said it completed successfully. What now?

EDIT - I forgot to mention that I used a bootcat.cache from a Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit WITHOUT SP1 which supposedly has the hotfix for this error, but my PC is Windows 7 Ultimate x64 bit WITH SP1 (pretty sure). Do you have one that would work for me?

Boot with a Windows Disk and do all of those on C: as indicated.

Use the Command Prompt of the boot disk.

C:      < then hit enter

Then do all of those commands one at a time.

You may have a hard drive, cable, or other hardware issue.

I ran

bootrec /fixmbr on the Recovery Console (On Windows 7 Install Disc) on C:\Users(My user) and it completed successfully, then I did bootrec /fixboot on C:\Users(My user) and then did both those on C:\ and those completed successfully. But, I did bootrec /scanos on C:\Users(My user) and it found 0 Windows Installations, so I did it on C:\ and it found 0 installations again. What do I do!

Hi,

You can delete the .tmp files since they are only "temporarty" anyway.

Be sure to do the RESEAT.

References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

See if these help - boot with a Windows disk (repair disk ok) and issue these from the Command

Prompt and hit ENTER after each.

Setup/Setting (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you boot so watch the screen - set to CD/DVD drive first

in the boot order - remember to set back when done. (Some use F12 or other keys for a one time

boot order change.)

C:

bootrec /fixmbr

bootrec /fixboot

bootrec /scanos

bootrec /rebuildbcd

If those help then run StartUp Repair THREE times - run once and then reboot and run again- repeat. (Use a Windows 7 disk.)

Using EasyBCD often works when other methods do not. <-- if Bootrec did not help use this.
