Windows 2012 R2 Domain Controller Boot Error BSOD 0xc00002e2 Windows 2012 R2 server DC will not boot and gives a BSOD with error 0xc00002e2 We have found that this was actually due to booting the system was making the wrong volume C: We eventually had to remove every other disk from the VM and boot as a Gen1 VM Once the drive letter was corrected to C; the Windows/NTDS folder was located correctly and the system booted OK.

How could it get far enough to show the Windows logo if it was not the correct C: drive? Well apparently it can, it just uses the C: drive as a d: drive We just did 'last known good configuration' and it let us in, but it still rebooted as D:\ afterwards. Presumably this re-assigned the C: drive??? So we had to log in under 'directory restore mode' and use regedit.exe to make some changes: [img=https://www.sircles.net/downloads/c-drive1.png]change system drive letter regedit[/img] [img=https://www.sircles.net/downloads/c-drive2.png]change system drive letter regedit[/img] We then got a BSOD with '[b]driver unloaded without cancelling pending operation[/b]' We then just reset the system - cold reset - and the system started up as expected in normal mode with the correct system drive letter = yay!!! \:d/ Boot was slow at first boot - 20 minutes or so ](*,) - but then the system started to behave. =d> [img=https://www.sircles.net/downloads/c-drive3.png]Booting Server 2012 R2 after system drive letter change slow[/img]
