[SOLVED] Inaccessable boot device - need help

[William444555]

Recently the power went out and my computer shutdown (duhhh) but when I booted it back up there was a message saying there was no bootable media.
I reset the bios at this point
I unplugged all devices apart from Windows ssd and this did nothing. I put the SSD in a USB-C 2.5" drive enclosure and this seemed to work, but now I get a BSOD every time I boot saying the boot device is inaccessable.

I booted into safemode and this got onto the windows login page, but none of my password worked (strange)

I have tried running a few commands I see on the internet, but nothing seems to have worked so far


Any help on this is greatly appreciated!

It may have been writing to the drive when the power went out and that will corrupt the OS install. I expect that you will need to do a clean install, possibly even a secure erase first, but I would start by just doing a clean install.

If you weren't getting the BSOD on booting, you could try a repair install or system repair, but both require the ability to boot to just the black screen that asks for a boot device.

Hopefully, you have a backup of important data that was not attached to the computer at the time. If outages are common for you, you should consider a UPS.
