Windows 8.1 won't launch or enter automatic recovery mode!
Today I was going to try and see if this old windows 7 will boot on my PC. It had issues and it wasn't able to repair them. So I switched the drives back to regular. But my windows 8.1 had this error code, 0xc000000f code. And said something about a boot file missing or corrupt. This happened when I reset my PC a few months back. But it was fixed when the CMOS battery was taken out and put back in. This didn't work this time though. I read some forums and tried the wait for three time to fail and let windows start the auto repair and recovery. But this never happened, I let it auto restart or fail 5 times, nothing. The OS is licensed with hp and there is no recovery drive or CD. I dont know what do to at this point but ask the community and see if this can be fixed at all. I fear that i might have to purchase items or trash the OS.
