"INACCESIBLE BOOT DEVICE" problems

Just started having "INACCESIBLE BOOT DEVICE" problems with my HP laptop when starting. Current wisdom seems to say this was related to upgrading to 10, but I upgraded a year ago. I did use upgrade instead of full install. Some statements here indicate
that not upgrading, rather than full install, leads to this problem after adding 10. What gives??

 

inaccesible boot device

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

The INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE bug check frequently occurs because of a boot device failure. During I/O system initialization, the boot device driver might have failed to initialize the boot device (typically a hard disk).

You may follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Run Chkdsk /f /r on the system partition. You must restart the computer before the disk scan begins. If you cannot start the computer because of the error, use the Recovery Console and run Chkdsk /r.
  
• If you cannot start the system in the last known good configuration, you should try to start off the Windows CD. Then, you can run Chkdsk from the Repair Console.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
