Windows will not boot Error: required device inaccessible
Hi all
Hope someone can help me
My windows 7 hdd will not boot up. I get an error message saying:
The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible
Now I have tried startup recovery several times with no luck.
I have tried bootrec.exe and tried to rebuild it but no luck
I have tried to use the recovery disks I made when I first bought the laptop but it doesnt allow me to select the repair windows files and preserve files options. It allows me to select the fresh windows install option however when I do it it always fails and says a path cannot be found.
I have tried the chkdsk/r in command prompt to fix any problems and that was successful but still no luck.
here is a screen shot of my disk management, it is disk 1
I just need access to my files on there. I have tried to mount it via acronis so it works as an ordinary disk but it doesnt pick it up
Please could someone help
Thanks
