Windows 10: “Inaccessible Boot Device” and Boot Loop Problem

Hello, I apologize in advance if this is marked incorrectly.

I have an ASUS ZenBook UX330UAK and encountered a blue screen with the error “Inaccessible Boot Device”. This happened while I had 2 external hard drives plugged into the laptop. I was in the middle of copying files from my laptop’s SSD to my external drive when my screen froze and got the blue screen error. After, my laptop began to restart and is now stuck in a boot loop.

I have already checked to see if I have the latest ASUS BIOS version for my laptop. I had only just updated my BIOS from just the ASUS site the other night.

I created a Windows 10 USB Recovery drive and tried booting the laptop from it. I double checked the boot order and made sure that the USB was listed first. When the laptop tries to boot, I can get past the ASUS loading screen. After, I get a black screen with no blinking cursor. Another thing I tried was disabling Secure Boot.

I am currently stuck on what to do next. Help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Inaccessible boot device

This is a Microsoft link on inaccessible boot device:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...le-boot-device

It is an intermediate level link.
There are more advanced steps that can be ran once the partition structure is known.
There are steps for repair of the boot sector, operating system, etc.
Sometimes this bugcheck can be caused by windows updates.

A reset save files equivalent may be able to be performed.
Alternatively a clean install can be performed once important files are backed up.
