Blue Screen Of Death on Boot error 0xc0000034

BSOD error 0xc0000034 is a corruption in your BCD / MBR partition.

I received a Windows 10 device that booted directly into this BSOD.

In this particular case none of these following steps worked for me, the following guide should only be used when these option won’t work:

  • Startup Repair
  • System restore
  • Bootrec /fixMBR, bootrec /fixBoot, bootrec /rebuildBCD
  • bcdboot c:\Windows

So here is the guide (copied straight from the source):

a) After you boot your computer using Windows 8/10 DVD or System Repair Disc, a black screen
appears with gray text “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD“. Press any key.
b) Select the correct time and Keyboard type.
c) Click Repair your computer in the lower left corner.
d) Select Troubleshoot from Choose an option screen.
e) Click Advanced options in Troubleshoot screen.
f) Click on Command Prompt.
g) Type these following commands and hit enter after each line of command:
“#” is an instruction comment so not to type it 😉

# to execute diskpart program
diskpart
DISKPART> list disk
DISKPART> select disk 0
DISKPART> list volume
# find your system partition with fat32 file system. Here to assume it as volume 2.
DISKPART> select volume 2
# To assign drive letter.
# If you want to remove drive letter, use remove command.
DISKPART> assign letter=b:
# To terminate diskpart command.
DISKPART> exit

# Now, you sould move to b:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\, as windows stores BCD in this folder.
cd /d b:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\
# this is not necessary.
ren BCD BCD.bak
# To write a new bootsector on your system partition.
bootrec /fixboot
# If your windows running, you should do from here.
# To create BCD store. “/f ALL” is to update BIOS setting including UEFI firmware/NVRAM.
# Replace “ja-JP” with your language or remove “/l” option if you use English, of course.
# It might be sense only typing “bcdboot c:\Windows“.
bcdboot c:\Windows /l ja-JP /s b: /f ALL

That’s it, now you should reboot your system and everything should be fine.

In my case I had to type bcdboot c:\Windows /l nl-be /s b: /f ALL
