Before jumping to the solutions, make sure to restart your system. If the error persists, then proceed to follow the methods. Note: Do not skip any of the following methods, because there are various causes of this BSOD error.
1. Use Startup Repair.
The first and basic solution is to use Startup Repair, which fixes specific problems and repairs damaged or corrupted system files, preventing Windows from booting properly. To use Startup Repair, you need to access the recovery options. To do so, follow these steps:
2. Repair the Master Boot Record.
The Master Boot Record (MBR) is a sector within a disk that stores critical information about the OS used to boot the system. If this sector becomes corrupted for any reason, such as internal problems within the disk or corrupted files, you will be unable to boot Windows. In this case, you can attempt to repair the boot sector by following the provided steps.
3. Use a system restore utility.
If you have a restore point created, then it could be the best way to fix this BSOD error. System Restore allows users to save the current state into a restore point. It is a troubleshooting utility that enables users to return to their previous state if something bad happens. If you haven’t created a restore point, still follow this method, as there are many Windows components and third-party optimization applications that create a restore point for users. To use a system restore utility:
4. Run the CHKDSK command.
CHKDSK is a command-line utility that is used to fix bad sectors on the disk. Your system disk may have corrupted sectors, preventing the system from booting. Therefore, try running the CHKDSK utility by following the steps.
5. Reset your system.
If the error still persists, then the final option you are left with is resetting Windows. Resetting Windows will recreate all the system files on your OS drive, which will fix this issue. Resetting Windows won’t delete data, such as images and documents, but it will remove drivers, applications, and corrupted system files. However, if you are unable to reset your system due to an unmountable boot volume BSOD error, in this case, try reinstalling Windows. Refer to this article to reinstall Windows. To reset your Windows, access the Advanced Options.
6. Diagnose Your System’s Disk
According to reports from affected users, they are unable to reset or reinstall Windows. If you are one of them, you may have a hardware problem in your system disk. In this case, you will need to diagnose your system disk by removing it and connecting another one to install Windows. If you do not have another disk, you can use the one already connected to your computer, but be sure to back up the data first.
