Hasleo Software Forums

Installed: Backup Suite Home 5.5.2.2, OS: Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit.
Problem: when trying to restart the system using Hasleo boot menu entry, I get this error:
"Windows failed to start. A recent HW / SW change could be the case/reason"
"A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed"
"Status: 0xc000000f"

All system devices (SSD + 2 HDD) are connected and work; nevertheless, only the OS-SSD should be needed, I guess.

I have installed the Home version on 14. Dec 2025 and tested the boot menu + the rescue media, and both worked.
Neither the hardware nor the OS (Win 7...) have been changed, as far as I know.
The old OS backup software, that I want to replace with Hasleo, started up with no problem.

What can I do now?

Thanks.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you referring to encountering this error when selecting to boot into Hasleo WinPE, or after choosing to restart the computer while already in WinPE? This is important because it determines whether the error is prompted by Windows or by WinPE.

You mentioned December 14, 2025, which is normal. However, V5.5.2.2 was released on December 5, 2025, so this issue should not be caused by software changes.

Furthermore, what operations did you perform using HBS or other software before this issue occurred?
