  1. Cannot boot after blue screen - not the first time - advice please


    Hello,

    I was using my Dell XPS laptop today when I got a sudden blue screen and had to power off manually. When I try to restart, the pre-boot check comes up with the message "Hard Drive not installed".
    This also happened a couple of months ago, and after loads of attempts to fix it, the machine finally booted and there was a message from Microsoft saying that it had uninstalled a recent update. Clearly the same update has been installed, and now, I'm stuck again.

    I cannot get as far as windows, so can anyone suggest how I can uninstall the last windows updates to restart my PC and how to stop it installing them again

    Thanks,

    Tim

    :)

    Blue screen and stop code

    Hi
    Jeferis,

    There are a lot of factors for this matter to occur. To isolate the issue, we have some questions for you:


    • What activity have you done to
      trigger the NTFS and FAT FILE SYS loop?

    • were there any error messages?

    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    It is possible that the
    Boot
    Sequence were corrupted by the previous activity which
    triggered the Blue Screen Error and the loop. We recommend that you perform these
    suggested troubleshooting
    and see if there are any changes:

    Startup Repair.


    To access the
    Startup Repair Screen, turn off the
    PC 3-4 times(force shutdown),
    while on the Blue screen Error. This will route you to the
    Startup repair screen:

    Advanced Boot Options > click Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Command Prompt

    and run the following command:

    Run SFC Scan:  

    SFC
    will
    scan
    and
    run
    an
    automatic repair
    to any
    corrupted system files
    that it will detect. We suggest that you perform it twice. To run an
    SFC scan, follow these steps:  


    • Run
      Command Prompt as Administrator.  

    • Type
      sfc /scannow
      and hit
      Enter.   

    Boot Record:

    This will fix the corruptions on
    boot records or boot
    sequence. To run this command, follow these steps:


    • Run
      Command Prompt as Administrator.

    • Type the following command:  

      • Bootrec /fixMBR  

      • Bootrec /fixBoot

      • Bootrec /rebuildBCD

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.
