Solved system32\winload.efi Status 0xC0000428 error

[dperecky]

Somehow Windows installed Windows Boot Manager after I altered my "boot from devices" order in my bios.

The two options displayed in Boot Manager are:
-Windows Setup
-Windows 8

-when I choose Windows Setup, I get a screen filled with three error messages:

• \windows.~bt\windows\system32\winload.efi
• Status 0xC0000428
• The digital signature for this file could not be verified

How can I get rid of the "Windows Setup" ~option~ in Windows Boot Manager?

I want to keep Windows Boot Manager, BTW, because I plan to install dual-boot Win7 later.

Used a Win8 recovery disk and tried the following commands in the Command Prompt option:

• bootrec /fixmbr
• bootrec /fixboot
• bootrec /rebuildBCD

...with no changes/help resulting.

Take a look at Option Three in this tutoral, & Use the delete option.

Solved

Thanks for the tip! Solved with two BCDEdit commands.

Windows Boot Manager - Delete a Listed Operating System - Windows 7 Help Forums

In command prompt, "Run as Administrator":

BCDEdit /enum - Lists entries in the store.

BCDEdit /delete {identifier- from above command} /cleanup

That's it!!
