Error 0xc000000e

In short, this PC was pretty much fine before I tried to use HP's recovery tool to make a recovery drive to wipe it. For some reason it just failed midway through, so I ended up reinstalling windows fresh. Ever since, whenever I turn the computer on error 0xc000000e gets thrown, but I could use a workaround and it worked fine otherwise after the workaround, and I couldn't fix the problem no matter how hard I tried so I decided to just leave it. Fast forward to now my PC kept crashing and eventually stopped working entirely, so I reinstalled windows again, and now that I have to do everything fresh to begin with I want to fix this issue.

FIXED!!1! In case anyone else has the same issue at some point, it seemed to be specifically because the system partition (the one with the fat32 format) was by itself on a hard drive I wasn't using anything else for. Said hard drive wasn't detected as the boot drive by diskpart, so the workaround I didn't even fully understand was me telling it where to boot from (even though I was telling it to boot from default). Anyway, the solution was just copying the system partition over to the partition with all of the other windows stuff on it using this in command prompt

diskpart

select disk <the one with windows>

create part efi size=100

format fs=fat32 quick

assign letter=s

exit

bcdboot C:\Windows /s S: /f UEFI

exit
