INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE error in Windows 10

If you receive INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error after you have upgraded to Windows 10, or after you used Reset in Windows 10, then this posts suggests a way to overcome the issue.

The INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE bug check usually indicates that the Windows operating system has lost access to the system partition during startup. If this happens, the system usually shuts itself down after showing a Blue Screen or Stop Error to protect itself from probable data corruption or loss.

INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE

Here are a few suggestions you can try to resolve the issue. See what applies in your case:

1] If you think a boot device may at fault, you may need to edit the boot options.

2] Remove any recently added hardware.

3] Check if the disk firmware version is incompatible with Windows 10. If not, you may need to update to the latest firmware version.

4] If you recently added a driver, restart your computer, enter Advanced Boot Options menu, select the Last Known Good Configuration option. You may boot Windows 10 into Safe Mode and try a system restore or a Rollback.

5] If you think the cause could be hard disk corruption, Run Chkdsk /f /r on the system partition. If you cannot boot into Windows, use the Recovery Console and run Chkdsk /r or run Chkdsk from the Repair Console.

6] If you just upgraded to Windows 10 and then you are seeing this error, then, download and use Media Creation Tool, using another computer and save it to a USB device. Use it to perform a clean install, by clicking on the setup file orbooting from the USB. If you are asked for a product key, click on Skip this step. Windows 10 will activate itself, when you sign in with your Microsoft account.

7] If nothing works, you may have to fresh-install your earlier vis Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 operating system, activate it,upgrade to Windows 10, activate it and then clean install Windows 10 using ISO.
