Can't boot - need to roll back driver

[doniel1]

My computer wouldn't boot and Windows displayed the inaccessible_boot_device message.

Windows' attempts to repair were unsuccessful. There are no system restore points, which I don't understand.

Since I can't get into Windows - not even safe mode - I can't install any repair program.

I tried changing my SATA mode from IDE to AHCI as suggested elsewhere, to no avail.

I booted off of Ultimate DLCD Boot DVD and am currently in a mini-Windows 7 environment.

I suspect one of two causes. I used IObit's DriverBooster to update some dozen drivers (which is supposed to create a system restore point!), one or more of which may be at fault. I also used a program called RegOrganizer to temporarily disable a number of startup entries, all of which I checked out online before disabling. In theory, that should not be the problem. The problem presumably is, as stated, one or more updated drivers.

Is there any way to roll back a driver in Windows when you can't boot into it?

Any other suggestions?

did you do the cmos reser not switching from ide to ahci also in bios do you see the boot drive also try to use another sata cable to drive and motherboard .

Thank you for your reply.

Not sure what you want me to do.

Regarding cable, I see all my drives just fine in this mini-Windows 7 environment, so it's not the cable.

After trying all manner of remedies, I finally surrendered and reinstalled Windows.

Thank you again for trying to help.
