INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE errors are often hard to diagnose because many problems could cause them. They usually result in a Blue Screen of Death that doesn't go away until you address the issue.
It often appears after you've made a recent change to the computer, whether software or hardware. You could also see it during a Windows installation. It usually triggers an automatic reboot and maybe even an automatic repair attempt by Windows.
The message that precedes the error often looks like this:
Your PC ran into a problem that it couldn't handle, and now it needs to restart.

what to do please tell me I have the same problem but the automatic recovery diagnostics does not turn on and so it does not work every 3 times and constantly (there are no flash drives for recovery)
Won't let me get passed the attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s part
When type "attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s " I get the message "path not found - C:\boot"
Me too

Same here :(

I got that problem after I updated to Windows 11. I used my Windows 10 usb installer and repair the start up. It works for me. I hope it fix it and will never occur again. I upgrade to Windows 11 with unsupported hardwares.
I installed in Parallels Desktop 17 with Windows 11 ARMS. It worked for sometime until some installation started giving this error and won't boot up. I deleted the vm and reinstalled everything, and this started happening again after spending all day. I give up. Microsoft does not have a fix for this issue?
Thank you... Fist computer with this problem, i go to pro repair who format it… And i try with another computer with your help, and it starts good after your repair… First time i find your solution… You are very good and the best !!! Very Very thank you my friend !!! Top great help !!! I'm so happy!

Said c:\boot can’t be found. Everything worked to that point. Exited out of CMD prompt, rebooted and it WORKED! Booted into Windows finally! Thank you SO MUCH!!!
Can we skip this step ?
I Think so
HELLO , i cant get to automatic repair screen, stuck at the blue screen with inaccsible boot device warning , how can i fix it ?
When I go into command prompt it don't load my account up at all just says windows system32> but I don't know what to type after that?
I need to go under the control panel. Because I need to unlock my bitlocker drive encryption. Do you have any advice
Omg thank so much i restarted my computer at least 100 worked for me first try thanks so much 😃
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU SAVED MY LAPTOP 😭😭
Have a new laptop, installed additional storage SSD, it's compatible. But now it won't boot. Need to change boot drive, but can't get it
Ok but what if it dosent even show that, my error I believe is a really rare one because there is nothing to support it or help me fix it. It's called B1InitalizeLibrary failed 0xc0000001
Per DicerX: What worked for me was to go in the troubleshoot menu>Startup in safe mode>you log in to Windows, as usual,> restart from there and done! This shit won't work, so don't waste your time.
These instructions saved my life!
Bro that actually worked! Thanks a lot..
+1
restart after login in safe mode solved the issue, no need to do any of these steps.
Yes I can confirm this is the easiest step that actually works.
This worked 100% Thanks for getting rid of the hassle
Not works at win11. C:\boot not found
Thanks ,it was very helpful
No me acepta el comando attrib desde ahí no me acepta el comando y no pasó de eso, ayuda
To anyone that is stuck to c:\boot bla bla not found, try and select shut down, it worked for me
Not for me. 😢
Is there data loss from any drive?
Preparing automatic repair comes and it remains for 1-2 hr
I've clone my HD to an SSD and got this issue. cmd lines worked for me thanks (win11 fixed )
deactivate or dissable vmd-controller in BIOS after BIOS-Update ...
Mine doesn’t do the diagnosing. It’s tries to start an automatic repair then goes to a blank screen with mouse cursor. But nothing changes after that. I left it for an hour.
After I've updated its drivers using driver booster I have now this issue.
@@Cloudxxx23 me too did you fix it somehow?
@@NathanKura I did the system restore
@@Cloudxxx23 exactly the same here. What a madness. I can’t even go into Windows anymore even after clear instalation…
@@Cloudxxx23 same here, did you find any other solutions except for windows restore point?
This is for older builds of win 10. Very little of it applies to win 11
How to apply for windows 11
Have you found any solutions?

@@JohnBrown-lj2br you might’ve deleted windows by accident, that’s what happened to me. I got to the blue screen by spamming f11 or f10.. can’t remember but after that I had a usb with windows on it and installed it.
@@FPTrades oh okay. Thanks a lot 😁

c:\boot\bcd bcd.old "The system cannot find the file specified"
How to resolve this issue bcz my pc facing same problem
Only system restore works but not for long. On the next reboot. Still the same problem
It says path c:\boot not found I'll just go back to an earlier system restore point but thanks for trying to help
Mine too.. It said boot not found
Same. I'm stuck on that part
You mostly likely have this file in a different volume letter. Try D instead of C, that should be the solution.
@@paris6817 i just sent it to a professional its clear i have no idea what i'm doing
What do I do if c:\boot is path not found?
Same to my 😪😓

I can’t get the automatic repair screen it’ll just keep looping
Same, did you find a way to fix it?
@@kyitzz Yeah, I had to download Windows onto a flash drive using my other laptop.
I plugged it in, turned on the laptop, pressed the hot-keys to get to BIOS, I chose the flash drive option and it just re-installed Windows from my flash drive
@@kyitzz I was pressing the wrong hot keys at first, Microsoft has several different hot keys for different devices for some reason
@@jonanddy thank you! I’ll try it out later (:
@@kyitzz just be careful bc I did a fresh installation, if you want your files you should try the repair option. I was fine resetting the laptop, but there should also be a repair option in BIOS once you press the *correct* hot-keys to get you thete
Hhu thank you very much
I get path not found -c:\boot when i type attrib .............

Before trying anything like this, as usual, backup all data to an external ssd or hard drive…
