Inaccessible Boot Device Recovery Options
Hi Everyone,
I recently powered my machine down before hitting the power on my main fuse box to carry out some electrical work. I think I may have hit the power whilst an update was in progress. As a result when I try to boot now I am getting BSOD with "inaccessible boot device".
I have read numerous tutorials and the only thing I could get to work was to copy the contents of RegBack to Config - then I was able to reboot. All has been fine for a week however I then rebooted my machine and the problem re-occurred and now the previous fix doesn't work (presumably because the regback files have been updated with newer dirty files).
So I've now tried all option in the recovery console and none work, chk disk reported no errors and I just have the MBR fix left to try.
Is it possible to -reinstall on a new hard drive and then copy something over to the old broken install to fix this boot issue?
If this fails I think I will need to re-install. My question is how can I re-install and not delete/over-write my previous data. I saw some people report that there old install was copied to Windows.OLD. If I could then copy the required file and folders acorss then I can live with this.
Any other suggestions or ideas are welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Bob.
