I flashed the bios on my msi 970a-g43 through msi's live update utility and now I get the inaccessible_boot_device error. Has anyone got any idea how to solve this error?
 
Solution
dont forget to check the sata port type setting. you probably had it set to ahci but if that doesnt work try the other ones until it does,
Because you update the BIOS, you have to go into the BIOS reset the BIOS setting, like the boot order if the HDD or SSD is not in the 1st SATA port, keep in mid most of MB will set to boot the device that connect in the 1st SATA port by default.
 


OH MY GOD! Thank you kind sir, I freaked out a bit after I flashed my BIOS and ended up with this error message. Seems that the update reset the devices to IDE mode instead of AHCI.
