HP Mini 110-3000
Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

Hello,
My HP Mini won't work (yes, I know those are old lol but still). I try to turn it on and it gives me this message;


"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next".
3. Click "Repair your computer"

If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator
or computer manufacturer for assistance.

Status: 0XC000000f
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is
inaccessible."

 

I have no idea how to fix this problem, and have looked all over the internet and found nothing.
I even tried to make my own installation disc/ usb but failed. (I don't have a disk)
I have already tried a hard reset. Somebody please help 😕

 

(ps not sure if the windows 7 is 32bit but i know its a windows 7 starter with an Intel atom processor)

 

thank u in advance

You could try downloading the HP USB Recovery Flash Disk Utility from this Link: https://support.hp.com/in-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/hp-mini-110-3000-pc-series/4166077/swItem... using another computer

 

Then boot from the newly created HP USB Recovery Flash disk and reset the Notebook back to Factory Settings

 

Keep me posted 😊

Thank you!! I just wish I had done this instead of making my own recovery USB disk. I feel your way would've been much easier.

But, if you know how to fix the wi-fi on it maybe help me out? it says a driver needs to be fixed but I can't fix it without wi-fi.
If you could offer any help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If you have an Ethernet cable, you could try going online with the Wired connection
