  1. BSOD - Inaccessible Boot Device


    Ok, I think I'm in a big doodoo now, really big.
    The rig is: Windows 10 1803 on an crucial ssd mx250 drive (ahcpi in bios), the latest dec 11 cumulative update was ready to be dowloaded, but has not been installed.
    Everything was fine, until I foolishly decided to follow crucial's executive storage drive utility suggestion to disable 8dot3name compatibility for my OS volume (don't judge, I believed crucial's ad about performance benefits without doing googling first). So i did it with fsutil 8dot3name set 1, then I decided to reboot and got the BSOD.
    Automatic repair failed, got thrown into winpe.
    *First thing I tried, is to revert the 8dot3name state for the os volume from winPE: fsutil 8dot3name querry volume-blabla, fstutil 8tot3name set volume-blablab 0 - got the same BSOD
    * Tried using dism on the OS volume: dism /image:H\ /cleanup-image /restore health - got error 2: unable to access the image.
    Sfc, as far as I understand, is imposibble to target to a specific drive in winpe, so no luck with it. Chkdsk - runs fine, but doesn't fix the bsod.
    * Tried a restore point, and succesfully restored to a two days prior - got the same BSOD.
    * Tried Solved: INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE in Windows 10 - Driver Easy in case there WERE bad packages. Got the same error 2 at the Dism /Image:H:\ /Get-Packages stage.
    * I tried resetting bios - same BSOD.My system has been functioning perfectly well from the first win10 release, survived all redstone updates with flying colours, been successfully cloned to a new ssd, and in the end it was me who killed it with my own stupidity. *Sad

    Windows BSOD - Inaccessible Boot Device

    Ever since December after a windows update, any time I re-boot I get a BSOD - Inaccessible Boot Device, and have to go back to a restore point. Currently my update log shows KB4054517 failed (0x80070643 on 12/12/17, Cum update on 1/5/18 filed then succeeded,
    and all future updates through Cum update KB4056887 on Jan 19th succeeded. Windows runs fine with no errors, but having had to go back to a restore point 6 times in the past 6 weeks, if I reboot I will get the same BSOD and have to restore again. Any suggestions
    on how to fix the inaccessible boot device error I keep getting??
