  1. Inaccessible Boot Drive Error after Dell Repair


    Hello,After sending in my Dell laptop for repair, I now get an error message when it boots. Every time I turn it on, it asks for a BitLocker key, which I type in. Then it restarts, and a blue screen shows that says, "Inaccessible boot device". Then the computer restarts and still does not work.

    :)

  3. inaccessible boot drive

    i upgraded from windows 8.1 to 10. after doing so i decided to clean install windows 10 using a dvd with an iso burned with it. i waited for about 3 hrs for the "resetting this pc 99%" then it restarted and now i have the inaccessible boot drive.

    steps i did.

    -changed the boot priority to cd/dvd (not working)

    -changed the boot priority to usb (copied the iso to the usb)

    it still isn't able to let me install windows 10 and still keeps looping on blue screen.

    btw, im using dell xps studio 8100. not sure if this is important.

    any help will be appreciated.

    "Inaccessible Boot Device" error

    Hi Bill,

    The Inaccessible Boot Device error is usually occurring if a device driver that the computer boot controller needs is corrupted. For us to provide an effective solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build and edition of Windows 10 is currently installed on your computer?
    • Can you boot the PC to the desktop?
    • What update are you trying to uninstall?
    • What error message are you getting when you are trying to uninstall the update?

    Since you already performed the troubleshooting steps that you mentioned in your post, we suggest performing an in-place upgrade. This
    article published by
    PaulSey provides further information on how to perform an in-place upgrade with Windows 10. In-place upgrade can repair Windows system files and can give you an option to keep your program and personal files. Check if the same issue persists
    after performing an in-place upgrade.

    We are looking forward to your response.
