#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : STOP 0x0000007B -- INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE Fix : Re-enable the boot storage driver offline from WinRE Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-stop-0x7b Run as : Windows Recovery Environment (command prompt) Expect : 10-15 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Firmware is correct, or you need Windows to load a driver it currently has disabled. This edits the offline registry, so read the rollback note first. HOW TO UNDO IT Boot WinRE again, load the hive as in step 3 and set the Start value back to 3 (manual) for whichever service you changed. If the machine will not boot at all afterwards, restore the SYSTEM hive from C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack if your build still populates it. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
