This was a GREAT tutorial! I tried all methods except 2-4 which was due to limited or non-applicable system results and thought that after running the "Check Disk" and still seeing the error. I would have to take it into a shop. However, I decided to try one random action and that was to go back into Advance Options, Startup Settings, and selected Safe Mode. My PC started to process the action. Then suddenly I heard the Windows chime!!! To my surprise my system did not boot into Safe Mode but actually opened Windows as normal. Man was I excited! So I am not sure if it was any of the processes that acted as the contributing catalyst but apparently attempting to initiate Safe Mode allowed the system to boot into Windows normally. So for what its worth. Try going into Safe Mode first and again this was a great tutorial, thank you!
Thanks my man! Had exactly the same situation as yours and after booting with Safe Mode everything worked well. Thanks to the author of the video as well!
Wow, this video is really well done. It's easy to understand and even easier to follow. More importantly, it solved my boot problem with one of the command prompt options that I used. Thank you!
Tanks a lot for your video it helps a lot ! However on my case it is most for understanding the problem as for now : 1.Enabling AHCI mode didn’t work 2.Cleaned the hard drive still not working 3.In the advanced options, System restore didn’t work as well as System Image recovery, Startup repair 3.In Cmd Prompt, after typing c:\>dir, there was a $Windows.~BT file as well as a Window.old file (I suspect the problem comes from here) 4.Remove pending update : all command works until 4th command where I get: Error 50 DISM does not support servicing Windows PE with the /Online option so couldn’t finish 5 and 6th command. 5.On SFC scan this message popped after I type the command ‘Windows resources could not perform the requested operation (same as you so still restarted the pc but still not working) 6.On DISM tool also not working. 7.On Check Disk tool, everything went smoothly. Got this message when it was done: Failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50. At this point I’m not really sure what to do next expect from buying a new hardware. I would be eternally grateful if you know what is going on.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey dam love this dude I thought my mom will kill me she never saw me using it for one day and started yelling me why I'm not using my PC lol 😆
This safe me a lot of confusion when I need to replace my motherboard with a newer one. AHCI mode you mentioned safe me an almost hasty decision to replace my boot SSD. Thanks a lot!
Immense thanks for making this comprehensive video. I got it corrected with AHCI mode on my MSI GT62VR. Do not install the optional update from MicroStar International.
Ehhh. As the comments say, if your issue is a BIOS setting, the beginning works, but the help sorta ends there. The reg backup recovery is probably sound advice (although mine is empty), but the rest of these are iffy at best. . Some of the commands you're showing here are straight up failing even in your own video. There's typos in the commands in the description. They don't work on any install (eg 9:40). Then on top of that you're running DISM with the /online option, meaning you're running it from a fully booted operating system. This is a very different situation than somebody with this "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE" BSOD error who is in WinPE recovery like you directed - and can't use that flag. In theory you should be able to just substitute /Image, sure, but it's situational and doesn't always work. A similar situation applies to your SFC command,, some of these operations only work in online mode, which anybody who is having this issue is not in. . At the end of the day this unfortunately reads like you copied/pasted this stuff from another source w/o actually understanding what is going on. Not trying to be a dick, but that's what it looks like based on the issues with the commands. It may give some people direction though on what they can look into further to try and diagnose this issue.
@@Vaynecenzo It depends entirely on what the problem is. If the problem is caused by a recent Windows update, then the DISM commands might go somewhere. If it's an important file issue the system file checker (SFC) might get somewhere. Both failed for me last time I had this issue, though. Neither helped. From there, if it's caused by a driver you installed you can uninstall it through safe mode. If it's not any of those (broken system file, botched update, or faulty driver), IMO it becomes infinitely harder, and then the best options are either try to restore from an image, and if that fails or you don't have a restore point, format time.
@@akashjosan8729 No idea, I couldn't fix it and ended up just formatting. Took way less time to format & reinstall Windows than I had already spent trying to fix it.
Well, every operating system is for computers, and with such a complex thing issues are bound to happen. No operating system can be without issues that may need a slightly techy person to fix
I removed the case and cleaned up the driver and some dust I've found underneath and now it works like a charm! Thank you very much for the video, you saved me some $$$ and time!
Thank you very much!!! You helped me salvage my grandma's old computer. Thank you very much she had legal files on there that would be a lot of trouble getting them back. Thank you again hope you are doing well!
Sadly all the blue screens and another confliting windows 11 install corrupted my drive but atleast I figured it out and I backed up my data before the loss
Many thanks for making me look great, WindowsChimp. I just applied this fix to Latitude 7420 and it worked right away. Thanks (again)…new subscriber here.
Dusted my PC out and accidentally set to RAID configuration in BIOS when it suddenly popped up after being powered back on. Took me a few hours until I found this video. A quick BIOS search verified that AHCI Mode had not been set to enabled. Thanks!
Just say slash when talking about "forward" slashes. 12:19 You can't install any Windows program if you can't boot into Windows. Also, where are the bootrec commands for fixing the BCD ?
What if I can't access advanced settings in bios? I've seen others use certain key combinations while in bios and then after rebooting into bios, the advanced menu tab appears. So far none have worked.
Thanks, I was having this problem while reinstalling Windows 10. Changing it from RAID to AHCI solved the problem. Before I had RAID and it was working. Anyway, I don't need it, so, AHCI is good too.
Hello sir, i resetted windows 10 after i got the error. But after it got resetted i still got the error but i can still open the advanced boot options. However. Since most of the videos i found related to this error is only for people who didn't reset their pc after they got the error. *How do i fix this error?* I tried doing what the other videos said and all of them didn't work. Please help me. Thanks.
Cool video however my problem is I used macarium reflect to clone the drive. When I installed the new drive in my laptop I get this stop code. So it has something to do with the cloning software or Windows knowing I cloned it and not letting me do that. I really don't know enough about Windows to know what's going on other than if I were to have done a Linux DD command with a Linux system this would have worked perfectly fine. I also did same exact thing using etcher Drive clone and I get the same inaccessible stop code. What do I need to do? You may not know?
I updated my Asus bios on my Z790 and was getting this message for a few hours. Watched all the 'Inaccessible boot device' videos I could here on YT with no luck. Finally, I noticed all my drives were listed as RAID on the first page of my UEFI. I toggled the Intel Rapid Storage Technology option below and it put them back to what they should have been. I cannot remember if it was off and I turned it on, or vice versa. Whatever it was, it enabled my NVME boot drive to be detected again. I've updated my bios a few times before with no issues. I think I pressed the wrong function key when it first rebooted and told it I wanted to run my drives in RAID mode or something.
Thank you. My mother's PC had the issue and I believe that the BIOS had reset and changed from ACHI to some Intel SATA variant. The change solved everything..
Thanks so so much..your knowledge is brilliant 🎉🙏🏆 I had to change to AHCI mode. That's it. Blue screen fixed. 😱 By the way, I had to replace the power supply. Then I got this blue screen problem. I hope this comment will help other people too. 😬✌️
0:54 Reason 7: Changing the AHCI setting in the BIOS. See article Advanced_Host_Controller_Interface on Wikipedia. In my case I had a new PC that booted Windows 10 and was working. After installing Linux, Fedora 35 refused to boot, the AHCI setting was set to Raid in the BIOS and Fedora couldnt handle that. 2:45 Thanks. Changed setting to AHCI, Fedora boots but now Windows has this issue.
Windows was able to finally recognize the new settings and it adapted to it. Now this new PC dual boots as expected. Thanks for all the help and info making this video!
New windows update was the culprit in my case. I have SSD and somehow the the update was showing in my HDD and windows tried to boot using HDD and failed n number of times.
I cannot reach these tools without a bootable usb drive and if i have bootable usb drive then the command prompt is only for the files in the USB drive.
Omg!! You saved my data! Thank you so much! I was on a call with DELL for an HOUR and they could not help me, and your hack with switching to AHCI mode worked like a charm in under a minute!!! OMGGG!!! Thank you!!!
In cmd.exe if says. The system cannot find the drive specified. All I’m doing is typing c: and hitting enter. My drive is called drive c but it’s not showing up
I have raid on for sata operation, when i hit AHCI, it propmts to a message that i might need to reinstall windows if I switch to it. So, I didn't do it.
Windows couldn't detect the boot partition whilst trying some boot repair commands, yet the windows partition on the same drive was browsable without errors. I received the Inaccessible bsod error after doing nothing but a 5 second microsoft -malware- defender update. I gave up, connected a usb with a copy of windows on it, chose reset in the repair options *but selected to keep my files* .. everything installed in Program Files (installed programs) was removed. The hidden Appdata folder (where programs often keep saves, browser passwords and so on) were removed, but moved to a temporary Windows Old folder on the root of C, just in case you wanted to copy anything back to where they should be, after reinstalling programs later on. Your desktop files, downloads and documents folders should all be ok. Obviously shortcuts on the desktop won't work anymore until you reinstall software. Remove any unnecessary drives or devices before any last resort 'reset and keep my files' option if nothing else works. Run crystaldiskinfo or a similar tool if you can get into windows or after the reinstall to make sure your drives are healthy. If any cautionary messages appear, copy vital data to another device and replace the old windows drive
I had dual boot W7 and W10 on a PC with a protected drive. After uninstalling the W10 part, the boot loader will not start. Any way to repair the boot loader?
Tried every method but in the end, my command prompt will come up with some error or my commands being unsuccessful. I have lost all hope and i am going to install new Windows tomorrow and loose all my data i had in this PC which was worthless.
Thank you very much, i just recently got the animators blue screen of death and it cost me my previous harddrive. I'm glad i didn't have to go through that again 🙏🏿
Removing cmos battery and power cord then holding power button for 10 secs solved the issue. Now my pc can boot into windows. If doesn't work, try to boot into safe mode using startup settings
So I had a few drivers out of date. I believe 2 of them was NVM storage drivers I updated the first one and restarted the PC that's when I ran into the BSOD. None of the steps done anything the directorys couldn't be found. The only one that's doing something is the chkdsk. Failing this can I just re install Windows?
I have a m.2 drive that has the OS. I was trying to enable secure boot option in Bios of Gigabyte Z97-D3H. After rebooting my bios didn't detect any drives and said 'no bootable device found'. I googled a lot and changed my SATA config to IDE when my windows system drive finally appeared in Bios Boot Options. After selecting it, this new Windows 10 error started - Inaccessible Boot Device. I'm frustrated at my own stupidity to try and enable secure boot. This one thing has caused this issue. My pc syill refuses to boot. Idk what to do :( I'm gonna try these methods and hope one of them works.
So i finally found the fix. No prompts in this video were accessible to me. However my fix was the AHCI setting. But it was not as straightforward for me. I lost all boot options suddenly from bios while trying to turn on secure boot. No hard drives were showing up. So I found a fix to go to sata config and change it to IDE. Now my hard drives finally showed up. But everytime I booted, this blue screen would appear. I tried everything in this video. Some of it was inaccessible to me. Sfc scannow didnt work either. System restore didnt work either. I didn't wanna reset my pc so I weny ahead and watched this video 2 more times. The only thing I didn't try was changed IDE back to AHCI. But last time AHCI didnt work for me. No hard drives were showing. This time too, it didn't work. Had to change back to IDE once again. I was stuck in this loop where IDE would detect drives but windows would give bluescreen and AHCI would straight up show no drives. So I went into cmd again and this time I noticed my windows files were on F drive instead of C drive. I have another hard drive in the system that was now assigned letter C. So I googled how to change letters and changed the letter of the drive containing my system files to C. Then I rebooted into Bios and changed from IDE to AHCI and viola! I'm in my system. Everything works normally.
what's your m2 drive? alot of people have reported this inaccessible boot device bsod startup error with samsung evo ssds, my own included@@funwithtalkingtom_official
Good day! I am in the 'troubleshoot' then 'advance options' - it is asking for my account, and since there was no account in the system (maybe accidentally deleted) I can not proceed with any repar options. Please help on what to do? Thank you.
@@WindowsChimp idk if your gonna read this but whenever i try to change SATA to AHCI it says it might prevent it from booting succesfully and could result in data loss, should just do it Also one more thing, i didnt find SATA MODE, the only SATA related thing i could find is SATA EMULATION, are they the same thing?

3 years now and this video is still out there helping people. I was able to fix mine after turning on the AHCI mode.
I couldn’t find it in my bios
Thank you so much bro! I've been trying to fix the problem for 2 days straight until i found your turtorial. The sixth step worked for me!

My god!!
It worked
I tried almost all the methods on TH-cam and finally gave safe mode a try and it worked.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks my man! Had exactly the same situation as yours and after booting with Safe Mode everything worked well. Thanks to the author of the video as well!
@@o.abrorkhon did u use USB or DVD with OS? Or tried all methods without anything?
@@oliverhaddo9198 nope, i tried without any USB or DVD
I replaced CMOS Battery for a new one and reseated Bios to Raid Mode, I changed it again to AHCI and problem resolved, thanks a lot 😃
That was it - thank you very much!

Same problem here but its not my laptop so idk how it got to this
Same with my laptop 😓
Did you manage to resolve the issue? I got the same problem and cant figure out what it is
It worked! I enabled AHCI mode for my hard drive and I finally got in. Just hoping it doesn't fail again when I boot it next time
Same for me, this dude just saved my life today
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey dam love this dude I thought my mom will kill me she never saw me using it for one day and started yelling me why I'm not using my PC lol 😆

Do not install the optional update from MicroStar International.
Awesome :)
Not only from them
Evey optional drivers 🥴

windows is so complicated
I haven't been able to use my computer for days windows sucks sometimes
Well, every operating system is for computers, and with such a complex thing issues are bound to happen. No operating system can be without issues that may need a slightly techy person to fix
atleast it's fixable most of the time unless Apple it always needs part replaced even the issues are not the hardware

Your desktop files, downloads and documents folders should all be ok. Obviously shortcuts on the desktop won't work anymore until you reinstall software. Remove any unnecessary drives or devices before any last resort 'reset and keep my files' option if nothing else works. Run crystaldiskinfo or a similar tool if you can get into windows or after the reinstall to make sure your drives are healthy. If any cautionary messages appear, copy vital data to another device and replace the old windows drive
Thanks 🙏🏾 ! Great tutorial 🎉🎉🎉
The problem was solved successfully, thank you ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊
I had dual boot W7 and W10 on a PC with a protected drive. After uninstalling the W10 part, the boot loader will not start. Any way to repair the boot loader?
Tried every method but in the end, my command prompt will come up with some error or my commands being unsuccessful. I have lost all hope and i am going to install new Windows tomorrow and loose all my data i had in this PC which was worthless.
enabling AHCI mode worked for me, thanks
Many thanks! In my case it was caused by RAID seted after bios reset instead AHCI
Tysm AHCI fixed it. It had blue screaned before and couldn't fix it so had to send it to geek squad but now I fixed it myself :)
Yo what if my pc not going in to automatic repair mode
Thank you!! You saved me from buying a new SSD!
Thats what you think but you can always format a disk and start over again
Hi! Once I type "cd windows/system32/config" it says that "The system cannot find the path specified". How can I solve this?

Creep
Thank you very much, i just recently got the animators blue screen of death and it cost me my previous harddrive. I'm glad i didn't have to go through that again 🙏🏿
What step did work on u?
I’ve had Optane without RAID option enabled before this error. On AHCI it works fine.
If you don't find ACHI in advanced, just navigate to other menu and check there.
I did not find ACHI in advanced but in some other header.
Yeah, it can be at different places on different BIOS.
Removing cmos battery and power cord then holding power button for 10 secs solved the issue. Now my pc can boot into windows. If doesn't work, try to boot into safe mode using startup settings
Thanks a lot worked after changing ti AHCI mode
AHCI enable worked and my machine booted first time. Thank you.
So I had a few drivers out of date. I believe 2 of them was NVM storage drivers I updated the first one and restarted the PC that's when I ran into the BSOD. None of the steps done anything the directorys couldn't be found. The only one that's doing something is the chkdsk. Failing this can I just re install Windows?
I have a m.2 drive that has the OS. I was trying to enable secure boot option in Bios of Gigabyte Z97-D3H. After rebooting my bios didn't detect any drives and said 'no bootable device found'. I googled a lot and changed my SATA config to IDE when my windows system drive finally appeared in Bios Boot Options. After selecting it, this new Windows 10 error started - Inaccessible Boot Device. I'm frustrated at my own stupidity to try and enable secure boot. This one thing has caused this issue. My pc syill refuses to boot. Idk what to do :( I'm gonna try these methods and hope one of them works.
So i finally found the fix. No prompts in this video were accessible to me. However my fix was the AHCI setting. But it was not as straightforward for me. I lost all boot options suddenly from bios while trying to turn on secure boot. No hard drives were showing up. So I found a fix to go to sata config and change it to IDE. Now my hard drives finally showed up. But everytime I booted, this blue screen would appear. I tried everything in this video. Some of it was inaccessible to me. Sfc scannow didnt work either. System restore didnt work either. I didn't wanna reset my pc so I weny ahead and watched this video 2 more times. The only thing I didn't try was changed IDE back to AHCI. But last time AHCI didnt work for me. No hard drives were showing. This time too, it didn't work. Had to change back to IDE once again. I was stuck in this loop where IDE would detect drives but windows would give bluescreen and AHCI would straight up show no drives. So I went into cmd again and this time I noticed my windows files were on F drive instead of C drive. I have another hard drive in the system that was now assigned letter C. So I googled how to change letters and changed the letter of the drive containing my system files to C. Then I rebooted into Bios and changed from IDE to AHCI and viola! I'm in my system. Everything works normally.
what's your m2 drive? alot of people have reported this inaccessible boot device bsod startup error with samsung evo ssds, my own included@@funwithtalkingtom_official
Good day! I am in the 'troubleshoot' then 'advance options' - it is asking for my account, and since there was no account in the system (maybe accidentally deleted) I can not proceed with any repar options. Please help on what to do? Thank you.

Awesome ❤️
Excellent well explained and I can able to fix my windows. I tried with several youtube videos and couldn't able to solve my problem . Thanks a lot
Glad it helped
@@WindowsChimp idk if your gonna read this but whenever i try to change SATA to AHCI it says it might prevent it from booting succesfully and could result in data loss, should just do it
Also one more thing, i didnt find SATA MODE, the only SATA related thing i could find is SATA EMULATION, are they the same thing?
Do I need do follow all of steps? Or just choose one?
