BCD became corrupted, and during the repair process, additional issues arose.
Yesterday I moved my laptop (Dell Inspiron 14 3480 with Windows 11 Pro) to a different location after an update. When I shut off the screen and didn’t power down the machine during transport, it triggered a BSOD with a stop code beginning with "registry_editor". After restarting, a 0xc000000e error appeared. I attempted to use a Windows 11 media USB drive to run bootrec commands, but faced no success.
SkyNetRising's approach to a similar issue (BCD corruption) in Chapter 3 using Command Prompt didn’t help much. Other troubleshooting steps included switching from RAID to ACHI in BIOS, re-seating the SSD, and installing Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver, which kept showing errors. I also tried setting up the driver but encountered a 0x800701e0 error repeatedly.
My NVME M.2 SSD (Kimtigo TP 3000, 256GB) wasn’t detected by DiskPart, though it still showed up in BIOS. I attempted to change the RAID configuration to ACHI in BIOS, but that didn’t resolve the problem. I also tried reinstalling the driver, but halfway through, my mother unplugged the charger port, resulting in another BSOD with a stop code "driver_pnp_watchdog".
I’ve been working on this for three days and haven’t owned the SSD myself—I’m borrowing it from someone else. If I don’t get help soon, that means I’m at school. Thank you.
Bootrec commands aren't suitable for Windows installed in UEFI mode. It could be corrupted or locked in read-only. How did you attempt to install the RST driver if you can't even load into Windows? If drivers are installed in a recovery environment, they won't be applied to the OS. What's the purpose of fixing Windows on an unfamiliar SSD? It can be removed at any moment. Consider getting a new SSD and replacing the existing one. Perform a clean install of Windows on the new device.
