    Cannot boot windows

    Ok, so I went to turn on my laptop today and I got the BSOD. I noticed the other day that the keyboard wasn't working properly and my girlfriend said she tried to use it yesterday and the back-light came on bu the screen was black, but it did work after turning it off and on again.

    I should have written down all the specific error messages I've got but I will add them as I see them.

    I have made a boot USB but one of four things happens.


    1. The selected boot device failed.


    2. Gets past the keyboard input selection and then says there are media drivers missing.


    3. Windows could not retrieve information about the disks on this computer.


    4. Goes to automatic repair, gets stuck at 1% and then just goes back to BSOD.

    On the boot menu the options for OS boot manager and boot from EFI file are always there, USB hard drive and Internal hard drive are sometimes there.

    Hard drive is an SSD if it matters.

    I will add anything else I find. Really appreciate any help as I've been looking at this all day to no avail.

    I do have another computer if I need to download drivers or whatever.

    Udate 1: It's now giving me the pres ESC for start up options everytime it resets, but sometime it takes a long time from turning on for anything to happen.

    Update 2: Ran chkdsk on X:/sources Errors detected in uppercase file Windows has found problems

    Ran chkdsk /f Cannot lock current drive Cannot run disk checking because it is write protected

    Error codes found:

    Bad system config info

    Kernel data inpage error

    SSD short DST check: warning

    SSD optimised DST check: warning

    SSD smart check : software error System extensive test canceled

    How to go about building a tri-boot system?

    i dual boot all the time, and going in to tri boot is easy.

    step 1) partition the drive in to 3 partitions ( leaving 1 empty for the linux installer. )
    step 2) install windows on the first 2 partitions.
    step 3) install linux, and let it auto partition the remaining space. ( i recommend at least 30gb of space for linux, because it will make things a lot easier. )

    step 4) enjoy.

    How to go about building a tri-boot system?

    Yeah, but he's throwing OS X in there. Not quite as easy to do, but not all that hard. Manual configuration of GRUB is necessary.
