Dell Backup and Recovery can recover the Operating system or backup from the recovery partition as well. This process will erase your hard drive, including your data, then re-install the previous backup file. This process once started, cannot be interrupted. If you attempt to interrupt the process (for instance, by turning off your system), your computer may not boot and could cause data loss.

Hopefully, following the steps mentioned in the links above will resolve the issue for you.

None of these is feasible since my PC is refusing to boot. The only message that comes is

Recovery

Your PC needs to be repaired

Boot file missing

File:\BCP

Error code:0xc0000034

If you don't have a recovery media (USB or CD), contact your system administrator or manufacturer

Hi KDuedu,

Thank you for your reply.

Is your computer successfully completing POST? Do you see steady or flashing LEDs?

In many cases a computer will not attempt to hand off control to the operating system. If you power the computer on and you see a Dell logo screen with a bar at the bottom, and that bar fills up completely and disappears, then your computer has successfully completed POST.

Please follow the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the link below. These steps are helpful in resolving No Boot/No Post issues on your Dell computer.

Hi Babita,

Sorry for the late response. The troubleshooting link didn't solve it so I called Dell technical services. I was guided through some troubleshooting to fix it but it still didn't work. He therefore placed an order for a recovery disk to be sent to me. I received the disk and was called to be guided to repair the lost boot files.

Note: It didn't need a complete system restore (factory image). The damaged file was repaired and everything is working now.

Thanks
