Whenever I try to boot up my computer, it gets stuck in a repair loop with a BSOD and the error "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE." This problem started after I connected my DSLR camera to transfer some photos. It said it was installing the device, but when it was finished my computer wouldn't detect the camera, so I rebooted to see if that would help. That's when the problem started. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with what's causing this, but it's the only thing I can think of. I have connected this camera successfully in the past, for what it's worth.
I've tried all the command prompt commands that are recommended here, including:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd
and:
bcdedit /set {default} device partition=c:
bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=c:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device partition=c:
One thing that's strange about these last three commands: Under "Windows Boot Loader," both "device" and "osdevice" say "partition=E:" and when I use those first two commands to change them to the C: drive (which I assume is what they're supposed to be, since that's where my OS is), it works. However, this doesn't solve the problem, and when I go back into the Command Prompt after the computer reboots again, the changes are reverted back to the E: drive.
System restore also doesn't work, and I'm at a complete loss. My next step is to start fresh, but I really want to avoid that, so I thought I'd come here first. Any ideas?
