Hi, I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.
I know how frustrating this may be for you but I'll do my very best to help you.
Some common causes for the error 0xc00000e are:
-Problems like corruption or deletion of files in the Boot Configuration Database (BCD) which includes files and parameters that help to boot Windows.
-Hard disk failures can also cause this error.
-Sudden shutdowns due to unstable electrical supply
Here is some troubleshooting that you can try to fix this problem.
Solution 1: Check the health of the hard drive and scan for errors. You can use the SeaTools bootable to create a bootable USB and test your hard drive. It includes several tests that will examine the physical media on your Seagate, Maxtor or Samsung disk drive and any non-Seagate disk drive.
