3fo

[GERONIMOEJOE]

I think my laptop took a windows 10 update and then I started getting 3FO code, no hard drive found. I would think that Microsoft would pay for this, but I guess not.

Update...I am now getting 3F1. I don't know what changed. Frustrated.

I think I'll change to another brand of computer....maybe?

I bought a new HDD and a new computer and installed W10 and now, I get 0xc0000225 code. I have tried all and everything that I have seen on the other posts, but nothing works. I have tried everything possible in the BIOS. I firmly believe this was an ECM by a Windows 10 update which crashed this computer. It came with Windows 10 installed. My new computer has Windows 11. I am pissed. I'm out over a thousand dollars now.
