Windows Server 2022 Blue Screen INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

Hello, I have been using the Windows server 2022 which is installed in my notebook for testing purpose. One day when I tried to boot up the sever but the Windows server could not be started up. BIOS could detct the harddisk in boot manager but I suspect that the MBR may be corrupted or missing. The notebook rebooted in the pre-boot stage endlessly.

I successfully fix the problam in WinPE using bcdboot.exe. But when I restarted the server, it showed a blue screen with the error code of INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. I install this harddisk into another PC, the Windows server can be started up normally. Anyone know how to fix that.

And I also do sfc /scannow and chkdsk.

Please don't recommend me to reinstall the Windows server because I have created a domain and users haved joined the domain. If I reinstall, the user SID will be different so the appdata folder will not be compatable.

Thank you!

    Missing or damaged/corrupted Windows System files. You have to scan and repair damaged windows system files. Sometimes it indicates a BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG usually means that there are problems with the system registry and need repair it.

    Hi there,

    Any one of the following factors might cause the stop error:

    -Missing, corrupted, or misbehaving filter drivers that are related to the storage stack
    -File system corruption
    -Changes to the storage controller mode or settings in the BIOS
    -Using a different storage controller than the one that was used when Windows was installed.
    -A faulty motherboard or storage controller, or faulty hardware
    -Corrupted files in the Boot partition (for example, corruption in the volume that's labeled SYSTEM when you run the diskpart > list vol command)
    -If there's a blank GPT entry before the entry of the Boot partition

    Here is a link that has some additional troubleshooting steps which you can try and see if helps in overcoming your issue https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/troubleshoot-inaccessible-boot-device
