Windows 8.1 laptop won't boot [Solved]
Tone111:
Hi peeps, okay so now it's my 8.1 laptop that's playing up, only this one has a boot problem rather than an update problem :teeth:
It's a 64 bit Toshiba Satellite C50D and after being in safe mode the other day (doing nothing special to alter anything that I'm aware of) and trying to go back into normal mode it gave me the blue screen with :( message and an INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error which it tried to repair, then went into Automatic Repair mode but couldn't fix anything. I've tried Restarting with no effect, then been into Advanced options and tried System Restore, but that wouldn't work, and also done a full chkdsk /r from the command prompt option which reported no problems (the HDD has always been fine on this machine so far!)
From a bit of googling I've tried the rebuild bcd command repair which had no effect, but I may not have done it all as the directories on my OS didn't correspond with the ones on the instructions. Does anyone have any ideas on this one please as my machine is unusable at the moment.... :sad:
Shane:
Grab the program called "WhoCrashed" and have it scan and it will look at the blue screen dump file and tell you what most likely caused the crash. :wink:

Ok, thanks Shane - I've downloaded it on my (still working!) Dell desktop, but isn't it a Windows program? :confused:
At the moment I can only access the RE Advanced options (inc. command prompt) on my laptop, so would have to run it from the DOS command line via a USB, if that's possible.... :thinking:
Shane:
Not even safe mode?
you should be able to get the dump file off the bad system and have the program look at it, its help file explains how to do that i think.

It's possible that the SATA mode has been changed somehow.
Have a look at this article and boot into the BIOS to see what it is set at. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2795397
