Steps to Fix the Inaccessible Boot Device BSOD
First of all, you need to boot into the recovery environment. Following the instructions discussed in the post.
After that, Access Command Prompt. For that, Click on Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Command Prompt.
Here, you need to execute some commands to fix the issue. You need to execute these commands in the same sequence:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootsect /nt60 sys
bootrec /fixboot
bcdedit /export c:\bcdbackup
attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec /rebuildbcd
Wait a few minutes for the process to complete, then type exit
and press Enter.
After exiting the Command Prompt, click Continue to boot your PC normally. This should fix the issue.
