What are cdboot.efi Error Messages?


cdboot.efi Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Speakonia errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EFI errors are triggered when cdboot.efi is attempted to be loaded either when Speakonia is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EFI error you will encounter using Speakonia.

In most cases, cdboot.efi runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these cdboot.efi error messages mean that Speakonia was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Speakonia will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common cdboot.efi errors include:

  • cdboot.efi - Bad Image.
  • cdboot.efi Application Error.
  • cdboot.efi could not be found.
  • cdboot.efi could not be installed.
  • cdboot.efi could not be launched. Class not registered.
  • cdboot.efi could not be started.
  • cdboot.efi failed to initialize properly.
  • cdboot.efi has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
  • cdboot.efi is not a valid Win32 application.
  • cdboot.efi is not running.
  • Cannot find cdboot.efi.
  • Error starting program: cdboot.efi.
  • Faulting Application Path: cdboot.efi.
  • The file cdboot.efi is missing or corrupt.
  • Windows failed to start - cdboot.efi.
System Error


The program can’t start because cdboot.efi is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the cdboot.efi error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EFI errors affecting cdboot.efi will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Microsoft® Windows® Operating System. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Microsoft Corporation, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of cdboot.efi errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.



How to Fix cdboot.efi Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your cdboot.efi issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".

  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the cdboot.efi error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many cdboot.efi error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the cdboot.efi error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your cdboot.efi File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate cdboot.efi file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free cdboot.efi files for every applicable version of Speakonia. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

  1. Locate your Windows operating system version in the list of below "Download cdboot.efi Files".
  2. Click the appropriate "Download Now" button and download your Windows file version.
  3. Copy this file to the appropriate Speakonia folder location:
    Windows 10: C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\efi\microsoft\boot\
    Windows 10: C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\efi\microsoft\boot\
    Windows 10: C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\efi\microsoft\boot\
    Windows 10: C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\efi\microsoft\boot\
    Windows 10: C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\efi\microsoft\boot\
    Show 3 more directories +
    Windows 10: C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\efi\microsoft\boot\
    Windows 10: C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\efi\microsoft\boot\
    Windows 10: C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\efi\microsoft\boot\
  4. Restart your computer.

If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.


GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve cdboot.efi problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download cdboot.efi Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying cdboot.efi to your appropriate Windows system directory. CFS-Technologies typically does not release Speakonia EFI files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing cdboot.efi and all other EFI files for Speakonia. An incorrectly installed EFI file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
