Hello,

I have a Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 (7620) with a 1TB NVMe KIOXIA 1024GB hard drive.

The other day the laptop randomly refused to boot and throws the error

“Error Code 0xc000034 "There is an invalid object in the Boot Configuration Data Store".

I cannot get the laptop to boot to Windows 11 at all and if I try to boot to the windows recovery environment via F1 it doesn't work and the laptop just reboots back to BSOD.

I wanted to check if the NVME was healthy and so I booted to “Seatools” via reconfiguring the Bios boot sequence and running it via a USB drive. Seatools is showing the hard drive is healthy:
  • KBG50ZNS1T02 NVMe KIOXIA 1024GB - NVME
  • Disk 0
  • Free = 1.02 TB (Bit weird the whole disk is showing as free space???)
  • Long Self Test = PASSED
  • Fix All Long = PASSED
I then booted to Parted Magic via USB boot media and it shows the NVME with the following info:

/Dev/nvme0n1
  • P1 = EFI system partition with the label "ESP”
  • P2 = Microsoft reserved partition. This has a warning triangle against it but no drive label?
  • P3 = Basis data partition with the label "OS” This is listed as not mounted???
  • Unallocated
  • P5 = DELL SUPPORT
  • Unallocated
Next I modified the boot config in BIOS and then booted to a freshly created Win11 recovery media (USB) which I created on another laptop.
  1. I booted the Win11 recovery environment via the USB
  2. I tried the "Troubleshoot"then
    • "Start-up repair" option and got the result
    • "Start-up repair couldn't repair your PC. Press advanced options to try top repair your PC, or shut down to turn off your PC. Log file: "
  3. I tried "Advanced Options”then
    1. "Repair my pc" then
    2. "Command prompt" then
    3. “X:\sources> bootrec /FixMbr"
    4. “The operation completed successfully”
    5. “X:\sources> bootrec /FixBoot"
    6. “Access is denied”
    7. “X:\sources> diskpart” then
    8. “DISKPART> list disk”
DISK 0 is showing but it is only showing up as a 28 GB shown with 0 B shown as free space. It doesn’t appear to be showing the 1,024GB NVME drive at all nor any "windows" partitons etc. that I can see in Parted Magic????

Can anyone advise on what might be causing this sudden BSOD and how I fix it please?

p.s. I have posted on the Windows support forum and have been simply advised to reinstall windows but I wondered if there was any other suggestions
p.p.s I do not know hopw to run the V2 Log collector as the only way i can get to command prompt is vis Windows Recovery Media USB. Is it possible in such instances to run V2 Log Collector from there?
