Windows 10: inaccessible_boot_device upon start up

Hi,

Long story short, temp files had logs over 100gb due to the sh@#ty Microsoft app store bug.

Tried to rectify to no avail, saw I had an update pending so updated.

Upon update I checked for any more and it said downloading 0% then would restart my PC.

Restarting occurred every time, 3-5min after login.

Tried to rest with fails, wouldn't let me, no specific error other than 'there was a problem' F78cking deep.

Said, **** it, last ditch effort and tried the factory image. Of course this also did not work as I would be here.

Now when I boot all I get is the sad face text emoji F$%king edgy AF with the message INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE.

I also ran sfc/scannow, 100% verification with msg 'Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation'.

So now I have an Alienware Aurora brick cause I tried to update windows 10.


I have no USB image so now im at a loss as what to do, currently waiting on Microsoft support online on my laptop trying to do an assignment due Sunday night. F#$k me, right!?

:)

 

INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE after Windows Update


My Windows 10 Pro PC received the latest round of updates, and when it restarted, it bluescreens with the error INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE.

I did a system restore to a previous restore point, and everything booted and ran perfectly, but of course it then goes out to get the latest updates, and the same thing happens with it bluescreening and throwing the INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error.

I followed many suggestions from a Google Search including disconnecting all drives other than the boot drive, running chkdsk /f on the boot drive, allowing Windows 10 to "auto-fix startup problems", and several other things, and it always bluescreens.

I temporarily disabled the Windows Update service so it doesn't go out and auto-grab the updates, but at some point, I will need to apply updates, and I expect future updates to result in the same bluescreen error.

Suggestions?

 

Moving to RAID 0 - INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE


I am converting an existing Windows 10 Pro laptop to RAID 0 - and I keep getting to the final boot where it says INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. What am I doing wrong? The laptop has two 1 TB Samsung 850 SSDs that are identical. Laptop is a HP Zbook 17.

Here are my steps:

1. Made a good System Image of C: drive on separate external SSD drive connected by USB. D: drive didn't have anything on it to be saved.
2. Used Win 10 Pro DVD to delete all partitions/format drives.
3. Went into BIOS and changed from AHCI to RAID, and also to turn on ability to do Control-I to get to Intel RST ROM.
4. Rebooted, did Control-I, created a RAID 0 of the two disks.
5. Rebooted, installed Windows 10 fresh. Verified it would reboot on its own.
6. Rebooted, went into Repair on Windows 10 DVD. Selected external SSD image to do image restore from.
7. Rebooted - verified on Control-I that the RAID 0 array is listed as "bootable"
8. Rebooted - get INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE.

The place it dies - I see the little Windows 10 blue window, and the spinning circle at the bottom - then I get the blue screen with the message.

I think I listed everything I did - what am I missing?

 

Windows 10 Start-up Error "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE"

I have the same issue. Upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7. Windows not working exactly correct, so tried to reset it. Then I get the message "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE." . Haven't tried the suggestions.
