Bootcamp Blue Screen winload.efi

For some reason my Windows 8.1 installation has been BSODing on startup, and I'm not sure what caused it.


The error is initially

0xc0000001

And then

0xc000000f "winload.efi missing" once I press enter.


Some output:

I'm really not sure what's going on and any help is much appreciated.

You have a fairly small gap between GPT3 and GPT4, but it is possible that it contains a valid header. Your posted output does not show either a NTFS or FAT partition.


Bootrec.exe on your Installer/Repair media can run /ScanOS and possibly look for lost installations. You may want to try that first, before we try any significant surgery.

Ok so I went ahead and rand chkdsk /f, which seemed to repair the volume, as the C drive now shows up as NTFS, and I can access it from the Mac OSX side! However, windows will still not boot, saying "windows did not start correctly" and presenting advanced options. I cannot access options such as startup repair because "I am not administrator". Regardless, thanks for getting me this far as I now have my files.
