1. Product Name and Number hp probook 450 g2
2. Operating System installed (if applicable)
• Windows 10
3. Error message (if any)
Inaccesible Boot device
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
no changes were made but i went through all possible options and did a lot of research but nothing worked.
a. hard reset
b. safe mode
c. chkdsk
d. recovery
e. previous back up point
f tried to to copy system, etc regback in D:\windows\system32\config
but no files were present in regback
everytime i restarted the laptop it would give me inaccesible oot drive and then
"D:/Windows/System32/LogFiles/srt/SrtTrail.txt"
thats when i tried to follow these steps i found online
x:\windows\system32\config\regback> bootrec /fixmbr
that step worked
then i ran bootrec /fixboot
but it gave me access denied so i ran
1. diskpart
2. sel disk 0
3. list vol
4. set vol 1
5. assign letter= V:
6. exit
7. bcdboot
D:\Windows /s V: /f UEFI
then performed below steps
1. cd /d V:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\
2. bootrec /FixBoot - but it again gave me access denied,,, i still went ahead with other steps
3. ren BCD BCD.old
4. bcdboot c:\Windows /l en-us /s V: All
5. bootrec /rebuildbcd
6. exit
now after restart it doesnt give me any options but just start up settings from F1 to F9 and i tried all but nothing works.
I dont mind loosing all my work but just want the laptop to start again with proper os.
Please help

Hi
Personally I use Linux Mint Live to solve such problems with inbuilt Gparted.
The BIOS is correct? No discharged CMOS/RTC battery?
Could the dirty bit be set?
I may be covering old ground, but please be tolerant...
