Hi all

Dont know if this is considered the correct section for this , sorry in advance if it is .

So my set up was working ok , i decided i wanted another m.2 in there for games to run a bit quicker , i installed it and everything seemed fine . then the comp just froze up so i hit the reset button now the thing wont load and i get the error B1initializedkibrary failed 0xc0000001 .

From what i can see its a windows issue , but i cant find me recovery usb stick , and the ony other pc i have is a chromebook , which you cant install the windows media tool on to make another .I have found a post saying you can use the chromebook recovery utility to burn an image to a usb and boot from that , but its not working , the screen just flashes a few times and then goes back to the bios .

Is there a way to factory reset from within the bios ?

Anyone know of any tricks to get me back into windows ?

im pulling what little hair i have left out !!

My mobo- asus hero maximus x
i7 8700k
windows 10 - upgraded to 11 - had no issues with the upgrade

Regards

Tony !

Thanks all , ill try these when im home , i have ordered a stick with it all on , be nice to keep incase of failures in the future too.
 
Have you tried removing the new m2 drive just to see if it allows Windows to boot?

Can you still see the Windows boot animation? You could try this to force it into recovery (from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...4-1ce4-b3e5e56fe234#WindowsVersion=Windows_11):
Hi , yes ive removed every drive bar the windows drive and it still does it , looks like windows got corrupted somehow ?

All i see is the asus logo with the standard press f2 or del to enter bios , then afyer that i get the black screen with tje above error message ...
 
Right, I've managed to create a bootable USB disk in Windows just by formatting it and using 7-Zip to extract the ISO directly onto the USB stick, with no other alterations. So you should be able to do the same on your ChromeBook, as long as you format it as FAT32.

I did fully erase my USB stick in Diskpart, by using the CLEAN ALL command. So I'm confident you'll be able to get your USB stick working with minimal effort.
Hi.
I did manage to create the bootable usb with the chromebook app , but it just wouldnt do anything when i tried to boot from it , i tried both windows 10 and 11 .??
