  1. Inaccessible Boot Device, cant get to BIOS or boot from media


    Soo... things have gone from bad to worse.

    My problem started after windows 10 updated when I shut down my laptop for a quick restart. Windows explorer would crash every second, reopen, then crash again without stopping. I tried a system restore to a restore point about a week ago, no dice. I decided to try resetting the computer using Windows built in tools. Everything was going well until it tried to boot after, and now i'm stuck with a BSOD that reads "inaccessible boot device". On top of that, trying to boot into BIOS or to a DVD or to USB are ALL failing. Attempting to access the BIOS (holding F1 as system boots) results in the "Lenovo" logo just hanging until I let go of the button, at which point it tries to boot into windows and fails. USB stick with Windows 10 installer on it isn't working, and the DVD drive boots up and whirrs for a second when the laptop turns on, buit then stops and the computer goes back to trying to boot from windows. (No "Press any key prompt, etc. The little Windows spinning circle of balls comes back on and tries to boot to windows)

    Pressing F12 gets me the boot menu, but I have only 3 options :
    "Windows Boot Manager", which goes into loading windows and BSOD.
    EFI Network 0 for IPv4 (says no media)
    EFI Network 0 for IPv6 (again, says no media)

    There is a disc in the drive, a USB drive in the port. What in the world is going on?


    Edit: Finally got into the BIOS. Boot options there still don't list the DVD Drive as a viable boot option. USB boot is enabled, but it's still not working. Halp.

    :)

    Most pc's have smart hard drive checks that can be assessed from the bios, I would check this first.

    If this is not available from the bios, what error message do you get when booting the pc ?

    If fast boot enabled, this will bypass the bios and boot straight into windows, you do not see the bios boot screen.

    Was windows 10 an upgrade, installed with the pc or from a dvd-usb device ?

    Inaccessible boot device can be other issues, devices added or removed changing the boot order.

    Post back some more info as to the requested information.

    Error: 0xC1900101 - 0x20017, 0xC1900101 - 0x4000D and :Inaccessible Boot Device" after installing Windows 10 on SATA and RAID devices

    That inaccessible boot device is related to the sata drivers.

    It will also happen, if you have XP (if you had it on IDE mode), when you installed XP then changed to it AHCI in the BIOS after.

    You'll get a 0x7b stop error, which means it cant find the hdd (which basically means inaccessible boot device)

    What was it on in the BIOS, when you installed windows? RAID?AHCI?

    The SATA ports on the mobo. Are the hdd's on the right ports?

    Because I think some of the ports are Marvell sata ports.

    Since, there are Marvell sata drivers on the ASUS site for this mobo
     
  4. Inaccessible Boot Device, cant get to BIOS or boot from media

    After getting int othe BIOS and tampering with everything I could, the computer seems to have finally recognized its own drives again. It still wont boot from USB (although now it at least acknowledges a USB drive is there) I got it to boot from the recorvery CD created by windows media creator. However, the software is unable to restore the PC, reset the PC, or fix the boot issues. It says a partition is missing. Has my hard drive completely failed? At this point, that's the only problem I can think of.
