    Inacessible boot device after enabling secure boot


    Hello, I am having a major issue with my Asus laptop after trying to enable secure boot for Valorant. After entering the bios and disabling fast boot and enabling the secure boot things, when I tried to boot, it gave me the Inaccessible boot device error. I have tried absolutely everything for the past 6 hours including any Cmd command WITH a win 11 media usb plugged in. Nothing works. My last option is to try to recover the data from the ssd as I don't want to lose that. But I was wondering if you guys have any other clues as to why this might happen.I tried opening notepad.exe in the command

    :)

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

    So Linux is switching to secure boot also? Or they have to because of UEFI?

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

    • Linux
    • Linux

    • Linux
    • Oh and OSX
    Here is a statement from a Kernal Developer at Red Hat:

    I'm not sure this exploits the legacy BIOS but rather it exploits the legacy boot method on MBR drives, injecting a signed key before the OS boots, which you are correct in that it has nothing to do with Windows 8. And the simplest fix would just be to require boot drives use GPT when Secure Boot is enabled in UEFI.

    How to Enable Secure Boot on asus prime x470-pro

    Hi, I'm Elise, and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

    There is a very detailed guide here which provided step by steps instructions on how to enable this:

    I would suggest ensuring you have a backup of any important data before you start this process.

    If you are still not able to enable this, there is also a method to install Windows 11 on ‘unsupported hardware’, this would allow you to bypass the requirement for secure boot:

    Kind Regards,
