So I upgraded to windows 11 from 10 and it was installed on my hdd I wanted to move windows to my ssd so I cloned it and everything was fine. I restarted my computer and I keep getting error code 0x000000e. The only thing it will let me do is go to bios. The only boot option in my bios is my ssd. So I don't know what to do and I really need help. I also don't have a usb.

    Hi Jordan, I'm Ramesh, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.

    Incorrect entries in the BCD cause the error code 0xc000000e. Please obtain a USB stick and create a bootable setup disk using another computer.

    To do so, you'll need a USB stick of 8GB or higher capacity. Note that the contents of the USB stick will be erased during the setup disk creation process.

    Download Windows 11 Media Creation Tool (MCT) from:

    https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2156295

    Run MCT and create a bootable USB disk.

    After creating the USB setup disk, connect it to your computer and boot from it. To do so, you may need to change the boot order in the BIOS/UEFI settings. Consult your system or motherboard manual to learn how to access the UEFI settings for your model.

    On the Windows Setup language selection screen, press Shift + F10 to enter Windows RE Command Prompt.

    In WinRE Command Prompt, run these commands:

    mountvol Y: /s
diskpart
list disk
select disk 0
list part
list vol
exit

    Post the output here.

    I think I installed windows 10 with a disc or a usb a really long time ago, years ago. I know I bought it from Microsoft but other then that I can't really remember.

    I already cleaned the drive after the cloning so I cant go back to that. The ssd is set as 1 to boot. The only thing it will let me do is go to bios. I cant find csm in bios. I cant even press f1 to go to a recovery environment. So idk what to do.

    Hello! My name is Eric, and I’d be happy to help you troubleshoot this issue.

    It sounds like the error might be due to a problem during the cloning process. Here are a few steps you can try:

    1. Check if the HDD still works: If possible, reconnect the HDD and try booting from it. If it boots successfully, then the issue is likely with the cloned version on the SSD.
    2. Boot Configuration Issue: Sometimes, after cloning, the boot configuration doesn’t update properly. Since you don’t have a USB for repair tools, you might need to access Advanced Startup Options through Windows if you can reconnect the HDD and boot from it.
    3. Verify BIOS Settings: Ensure that your SSD is set as the primary boot drive and that it’s configured as a UEFI boot device if you’re using UEFI. Also, check if Secure Boot or CSM (Compatibility Support Module) settings might be interfering with the boot.
    4. Try a Manual Repair: Without a USB drive, you could try enabling any built-in recovery or repair tools in your BIOS. Some BIOS versions include basic disk repair tools, though these may be limited.
    5. Consider a Fresh Install: If the above steps don’t work, a clean install on the SSD might be the best solution. Since you don’t have a USB right now, you could consider using Windows Media Creation Tool on another PC when possible to create a bootable USB.

    Could you also let us know how you initially installed Windows on your HDD? This might help us identify any potential issues with the original installation.

    Let us know if these steps help or if you need further assistance!

    Thanks,

    Eric
