Windows 8 0xC0000001

Error 0xC0000001 was encountered when a Windows 8 system was booted from a drive image that was restored using Active@ Disk Image. The drive utilized Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) and a GUID Partition Table (GPT).

Booting the system using Microsoft Diagnostic and Repair Tool (DaRT) and enumerating the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) showed that both the device and osdevice settings on the {default} entry were unknown.

To resolve this issue, the following was done:

1. Locate the partition drive letter for the drive containing the OS. (In this instance, drive C.)
2. Set device setting on the {default} entry to Partition={DriveLetter}:. (in this instance, Partition=C:)

bcdedit /set {default} device Partition=C:
