Hi, I just tried to set up dual windows boot on 2 internal ssds and now my laptop is stuck in a bsod loop.

I got a new 1 tb ssd and wanted to move windows on that one. I decided to do a fresh install to get a Clean c drive so I installed windows 11 to a partition in the new ssd planning to remove the pld one later and rearranging some files. Then I tried to boot from that ssd and it gave the error: iNACESSABEL_BOOT_DEVICE

Now it's stuck in this bsod loop and I can only access bios.

Attempts to fix:

1. Reset bios to defaults

2. Tried to enter WinRE through all methods but none worked

3. Made a bootable USB but it only reads its own partitions and not the ssds in the process of installation and revocery attempts through cmd

4. Removed each disk one by one:

Remove oem ssd: no boot device found

Remove new ssd: doesn't go beyond POST and BIOS, just restarts before attempting to start windows.

5. Disabled fast boot and VDM

I have checked the bios and it doesn't have the option to select the drive to boot from but just USB and windows boot manager which leads to the problem. If there is some setting that can reset the configurations of WBM please help me identify them in the bios.

Due to the fact that I can only enter the recovery mode in the USB and it only uses that drive, many troubleshooting command line tools are unavailable.

Device specs:

Acer PHN16-71

OS: Windows 11 24H2 (last working one)

BIOS: v1.18

Edit: Update

Tried to install windows to the new ssd after loading the storage controller driver(irst).Got into self repair and formatted the new ssd(lexar nm790) to gpt ntfs and made a simple partition. Windows installation Works till the end and says that an error occurred, need to restart. After restart there is another windows boot manager option in bios but it results in the same error.

Now that I can atheist access my ssds from the command line and see the working windows files if anyone knows the commands needed to change the boot drive or load windows from a specific drive please help.

Update solution:

Make a bootbale USB with Windows using rufus

Choose it as the primary boot device

Navigate through the installation until asked to select drive

Click load drivers and load your storage controller drivers from providers website

Delete all partitions on the drive number to install to

Complete installation process

I don't know what caused the initial corruption installation to begin with.

set BIOS to usb boot
remove ssd, leave the new ssd
try installing Windows again
try Windows Media creation tool with the USB drive and boot from it

It results in the same error I included in the update. Jt gives me a warning that it's not in sequence to install Windows and gives me a link to GPTwindows page but it's already GPT ?
 
usually you don't need to format or anything, just install windows on the not preformatted drive.
while installing, just delete the created partitions, then select the storage you want Windows to be installed on
Thank you, I see the problem were the efi and other partitions that stopped the installation. I Needed to not format but delete all those partitions to get windows to install.
