Next: ASUS K8V SE Deluxe motherboard can't boot up Windows 7 PE fromUSB flash drives?
From: Ant on 18 Mar 2010 17:17
Hello.

Does ASUS K8V SE Deluxe motherboard have problems booting up from USB
flash drives that have Windows 7 PE (used WinAIK v6.1.7600.16385 in
Windows 7 UE) on them?

When I boot it up, I quickly get this error: "Windows Boot Manager (text
mode) came up and said "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or
software change might be the cause...

File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000e
Info: An error occured while attempting to read the boot configuration data."

I tried the USB flash drives on other newer computers (e.g., Acer
AM3800), and they had no problems.

Thank you in advance. :)

FYI, flash drives were formatted as FAT32 with whatever tools supplied.
Even Ubuntu and Windows 95's DOS were FAT32.

W7 PE was built from WAIK v3.0.

Ubuntu was built from

Windows 95's DOS boot was from

with an old 3.5" Windows 95 boot disk in A: drive.

Weird. I tried with 32-bit Vista b6000 RTM and it can't boot that
either.

I used another MS tool:
http://images2.store.microsoft.com/prod/clustera/framework/w7udt/1.0/en-us/Windows7-USB-DVD-tool.exe
(help: http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Tool ).

I tried a 64-bit W7 CHK ISO and saw new details:
Source: d:\w7rtm\minkernel\boot\environ\app\bootmgr\bcd.c
Line: 226

I don't even see this file. I assume WinPE boots it up, extracts,
and run it? Or maybe something else?

I was able to boot up Windows on my USB flash drive/stick after I took the risks (it did say checksum error after the reboot which scared me) to upgrade the old 1003 motherboard firmware/BIOS to the latest non-beta 1007, via a MS-DOS boot floppy 3.5" disk, and rebooting on this old ASUS K8V SE Deluxe machine.

http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?model=K8V%20SE%20Deluxe&os=17&SLanguage=en-us only specifies "Support new CPUs." updates since v1003 BIOS. Each update's listing didn't mention anything about USB devices, booting, etc.

I am still puzzled why I need to have the latest stable BIOS if the older worked fine for non-Windows OS' on USB flash drives/sticks.
