Have a BSOD after you’ve installed the latest version of Intel RST from Intel’s download center? During the boot, staring at the Windows logo and the spinning wheel, after a minute or two getting just INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error and “we must reboot” message? Restarts, nothing helps? Yeah, I’ve been there.

How to fix the BSOD

Dell

Note: can be applied only when you have updated the driver from a previously working version, since it counts with a previous driver file stored on your disk.

  • Check your BIOS and RAID setting are as expected, since I once encountered iRST update that screwed that up – actually turned off RAID!
  • During boot hold F8, if this doesn’t work for you, you need to “Create a recovery drive” on a USB and boot using that
  • Choose Troubleshoot
  • Choose Advanced options
  • Choose Command Prompt, a command prompt window, as you know it, should open
  • My system drive was mounted as E:, if yours is mounted elsewhere, replace E: in below commands with that letter
  • At the prompt type:
  • That will list something like this:
  • For me the previous working driver file is apparently at

    , yours can be elsewhere, so update the source directory in the copy command below according that

  • Continue typing following commands, you should still be at the E:WindowsSystem32 directory:
  • You should see a “1 file(s) copied” message
  • Now normally reboot
  • Good luck!

After that Intel RST service still starts up, shows the status etc, disks are fine, everything seems to work, even after another (deliberate) reboot. Only weird thing was that System Restore for the C: drive was turned off. Not sure if it was caused by the RST update, by the boot problems, by some of my other manual changes (not listed here) or what.. Re-enabling it works fortunately well, so not an issue.

A good thing to do is yet to rollback the driver from the Device Manager (Storage Controllers/Intel(R) *** SATA RAID Controller/Properties/Driver/Roll Back Driver) to put the registry records back to the correct state.
