I am using Windows 8 since its release, and I got things working as well like a charm. But life without errors seems incomplete and to fill these incompleteness, I got an error on my Windows 8 installation.
Actually when I booted my laptop to Windows (running Windows 8 and Windows 7 in parallel), it gives me following error:
Your PC needs to be repaired
File: \windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
Error code : 0xc0000221
I can’t sort out what the exact issue is? Since I haven’t made any changes to Windows files which could result such error, so getting such error is apparently seems surprised. Well lets see what you need to do when you get this…
FIX : Windows 8 “Error 0xc0000221” (Kernel Error)
1. Press the F8 key on such error screen, which would take you to Startup Settings.
2. Now select the option 4 that is for Enable Safe Mode.
3. It will enter you to Safe Mode. May be you’ll rebooted.
4. Obviously Safe Mode is already having some ugly appearances and you can’t get services like network connections etc. working in it as well. So better to restart here.
5. Finally once you rebooted, you’ll get primary installation means back to your working station without the kernel error.
That’s it!
Exactly same error I m getting… will fix now ;)
Why we got this error??????????????????????????????????????
Great d=find Kapil!
Sir I m running Windows 8 CP, each time I boot it, it goes some wired dis checking how can i disable it? its really frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pls, help
^^ It might be problem with your installation. Try re-installing Windows. However, it should display to press any key before skip disk checking. Isn’t it?
@ Siertv, This is beta version, so bugs are obvious ;)
Your post is a timely contrbuition to the debate
I have tried with the safe mode but still couldn’t resresolve the issue. Recently I have changed the motherboard since previous one wasn’t functional.
^^ Resetting may fix this issue, try it and see if that helps.

Hi. When I press F8 first it gets me the same message once again. After pressing F8 a second time, it gets me a screen that say BitLocker and to input some sort of key. What should I do (as I have no key or any idea of what they are talking about)
^^ It seems like your system drive is encrypted with BitLocker. You need to decrypt it with the required key. It might possible someone else may have enabled BitLocker protection on your device.
