Error 0xc0000225

[whoololon]

Well, I bought this computer assembled and with w7 installed (by parts and with original w7, but for convenience I chose assembly and OS installation).
I have not updated or installed drivers. A few days ago the mouse started to freeze intermittently, and all of a sudden I have no keyboard or mouse. In the BIOS menu they work well.
I decided to format and install w7, but after the first restart it throws that error.
Help me out, I'm a little scared.
Thanks in advance.

0xc0000225: Fix for Windows 7, 8, 8.1

I sent the computer back to where I bought it, removing two 1TB Seagate drives. I explained the problem and they said it could be a hardware issue, but they couldn't reproduce the problem, so they just reinstalled the OS.
The equipment came back and, when I connected the hard drives that make up the RAID 1, the system seems to look for the boot on them and, logically, gets stuck with the message "insert valid boot disk and press a key".
I disconnect the drives and it starts normally, I turn it off, I reconnect them and the same thing.
I enter the BIOS, and everything seems correct: RAID mode activated, boot order "Windows Boot Manager" and "RAID Sandisk SSD"
Now I have some drives with data that I can't access and that I need to work, so any kind of help would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Edit: From a Ubuntu LiveCD (the 8.04 that is the last one I had) I was able to start with all the drives connected, although I couldn't get the RAID 1 to work as such; I was able to access the information, but it appeared as different disks with identical labels. It seems that a boot sector has been copied to the RAID 1 that I can't delete (when I run repair system from the W7 disk it says the version is different) And if I try a clean installation, we go back to the first message…
This is already affecting my health, seriously.:wall:

The advantages of RAID 1 are that either of the two HDDs allows you to access and recover the data, and if you have mistakenly modified information on one of them, while it is outside the RAID, you can delete it and put it as the second one so that the information is automatically recovered, copying from the other.

As I understand that you already have all the information safe, the only problem I see now is that it seems they used a DVD with a different version than yours, and that's why it gives you an error, but as it would be impossible for me to think that they put a different version of Windows on it, I suppose it will be a DVD with the SP1 integrated, and that yours is the normal version, and that's why it gives you the message.

Try to ask them for a copy of that DVD, or simply keep the storage configuration, adding the RAID but not for the boot system (Windows) that you already have on the other HDD, but for data, and by the way, you have more capacity for these.

Salu2!

You can't imagine the week I've had, and as you rightly say Fassou, that was something I was already afraid of.
The most damning thing is that when I asked by phone (at the price of a litre of petrol per minute) if they used a different image or disc to the copy of Windows 7 that I bought they assured me they didn't.
From there everything else came, completely unnecessarily because I wouldn't have minded patching the copy or finding one of those that are out there.
It's clear that being legal isn't my thing, and I refer to the evidence.

Having said that, and again thanking you for your help, I managed to get someone to come and help me (for a fee), and to check that indeed with my legal and formal copy there was no way, but taking into account that what one pays for is the sticker, I now have a copy of a version with which (this time yes) I have managed to install the OS and recover the functionality as it should be.

I want a website, really. :love::love::love:
