    BSOD code inaccessible_boot_device. Running repair media through USB does not work.


    I have a Windows 11 Acer Aspire 5, which I had installed Ubuntu onto a while ago. Recently, I've wanted to go back to Windows, but have encountered great difficulty in doing so and fear I may have completely ruined my laptop.I installed the windows installation media on my primary desktop running Windows 10 and installed 11 onto a USB that had been formatted many times over, plugged it into my laptop which ran the installation setup just fine, until I ran into an issue with missing USB drivers. So after a long long time of trying to figure that out, I was able to install the drivers for the la

    Windows BSOD loop: "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE" after repartitioning and installing Ubuntu Gnome

    Windows 10 x64 v1607 won't boot after I reprtition my single 1TB HDD and installed Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.1 LTS amd64. it keeps doing a BSOD "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE".

    My exact steps:

    1. Boot from Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.1 LTS amd64 on USB drive.
    2. 'Try Ubuntu Gnome' option.
    3. Shrink Windows partition from 850GB to ~= 350GB in GParted.
    4. Move recovery partition (I have created a System Repair Disk) (also in
      GParted)
    5. Create new ~=350GB FAT32 Partition.
    6. Use Ubuntu Gnome installer; use 'install alongside Windows' option. Installer succeeds.
    7. Restart. Grub menu comes up, select Windows. Windows shuts down. I didn't see exactly what happened, but I came back and my PC was competely off. Turn back on.
    8. Grub comes back, Windows again. Windows bluescreens with 'INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE'. Restarts. Automatic Repair fails. Restart.
    9. Choose Windows at Grub again. Same bluescreen. This time no Automatic Repair - just shuts down.
    10. Choose Ubuntu Gnome at grub. Boots successfully.
    11. Restart, choose Windows. Again, bluescreen, no automatic repair.

    I can access my Windows partition from Ubuntu Gnome. I created a Restore Point before I started the steps above. Can I use my Restore Point, and if so, how? Or should I use my recovery drive? Or get a fresh Windows image and reinstall?

  3. Bluescreen when running “Reset this PC”: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

    i upgraded to windows 10 and i have product key i did do a fresh reinstall and it did work and i updated and repaired . Then it said you must restart to finsih repairs and same issue. This happened about 3 times. I called tech help and they suggested
    reinstalling to the original factory image. You would think that this would fix the problem but it has not. The whole time i have been getting same error messages boot files afre missing or corrupted. I can start windows 7 but it only goes as far as installing
    software and then back to the same thing. 0xc000000e. Please insert installation media or usb. I have my copy of 10 on usb and it started running after a try or two. It was not running well though and got worse by the hour.

    Startup repair couldn''t repair my pc BSOD error code 0xc0000221

    I am getting a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) Startup repair couldn't repair my pc and when I tried to reset the pc wont repair the problems used all the troubleshooting tools which didn't work. Won't let me boot into safe mode. After I go though all the steps i get the screen Recovery Your PC/Device needs to be repaired. The header checksum for this file doesn't match the computed checksum Error code 0xc0000221. You will need recovery tools. If you don't have any installation media (like a disk or or USB device) contact your administrator (which is me). I downloaded a windows 10 iso file on a dvd. How would I be able to repair this? Could I boot into dvd and reinstall windows 10 with keeping my files, or use recovery tools?
