What does the error code 0xc00000e mean on Windows 10?
Before we move on to the fixes, let’s understand what the 0xc00000 error code really means. Typically, this error code is prefixed with the ‘A required device isn’t connected or can’t be accessed’ error message. Users also report that there are multiple variations of this error message, like ‘Required device is inaccessible’ or ‘The selected entry could not be loaded’. Your Windows 10 PC displays this error when it is unable to detect or access an essential piece of hardware which is required for the computer to boot. This includes your PC’s hard drive since your PC needs it to boot the OS. You may also encounter this error when the winload.exe file cannot be accessed or has been corrupted.Remove any external hard drives attached to your PC
The first thing you should do when you encounter the ‘0xc00000e’ error on your Windows 10 PC is check whether there are any external hard drives connected to your PC. At the time of startup, the BIOS may confuse the external storage as your PC’s primary hard drive and use it to boot the device. Since the external hard drive does not contain the Windows operating system, your PC will throw the 0xc00000 error.
