I have Toshiba Satellite P775D-S7303 that originally had Windows 7 and was upgraded to Windows 10 1+ years ago, and has run with no major issues. Recently during start up the message "preparing automatic repair" appears below the Windows logo followed by a blue screen that says "Recovery
There was a problem with a device connected to your pc
An unexpected I/O error has Occurred.
Error code: 0xc00000e9"
I pressed f8 to access start up options and tried to enter safe mode when another blue screan appers with the text:
"The Operating system couldn't be loaded because the kernel is missing or contains errors.
File: \WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
Error code: 0xc00000e9.
You'll need to use recovery tools"
I get this message after I try any option from the start up option menu. I belive that a fresh install of windows from a usb (as my optical drive isn't working) will fix the windows issues, but I am having touble getting into the bios to boot from usb. I have tried tapping or holding all of the "f" keys holding escape for three seconds and then tapping an "f" key, it doesn't seem to matter what I do windows always starts to boot. At this point I am not sure what else to try and any suggestions would be appreciated.
