Hi
I'm running Vista x64 Home Premium and since installing the updates on
Tuesday 11th Nov. I've been getting the error

"Windows Failed To Start"
File: \Boot\BCD Status: 0xc000000f

When running the repair it complains that it can't find the OS on the boot
partition. The windows repair does fix the issue and reinstalls the boot
partition correctly at which point I can restart the computer and reboot the
PC correctly.

However this is happening virtually every time I shut down the PC and it's
driving me crazy.

Is this happening to anybody else or does anybody have a resolution to this
issue?

Thanks
.
