Status: 0xc000000f
Info: the selected entry could not be located because the application is missing or corrupt.
 
Solution
You either have a bad boot sector on this computer, or your hard drive is failing. Both can cause this error.

You can try and repair it first, to see if it will then work. If that fails, then you are probably going to have to replace the hard drive.
