error 0xc000000f after running 10 for over a month.
I upgrading almost immediately to windows 10 and have loved it until tonight. I have a huge media library, 10TB and have filled that so I need to add a hard drive. I went to add another 2TB drive and Windows 10 would not format it. Kept saying "windows in unable to format this drive" It showed as RAW. It was plugged into a expansion card and I thought there was an issue there so I swapped the DVD-RAM drive to the expansion card and plugged the new drive into the motherboard, I also removed the CDROM as a boot option in BIOS since it kept trying to boot from whatever CD i had in the drive. When I restarted I got the screen that gave the error code 0xc000000f and told me to insert my windows media, select language and do recovery.
Windows 10 downloaded so I dont have a disc for it. I put CD-ROM back as a boot device and tried the windows 7 disc but as soon as you select windows 7 setup it goes back to the error screen saying to insert your windows media. My thought is this may have something to do with windows seeing a hardware change? Everything is back the way it was but it's still locked. Any ideas?
