Hi,
This error means Windows can’t find the boot partition after changes to your system. To fix it, boot from a Windows USB or DVD and open Command Prompt. Run these commands one by one:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
If that doesn’t help, use these steps to assign a letter to the EFI partition:
Type diskpart
Type list volume and find the small FAT32 partition (EFI)
Type select volume # (replace # with the EFI number)
Type assign letter=Z
Type exit
Then run:
bootrec /fixboot
ren BCD BCD.bak
bcdboot C:\Windows /s Z: /f ALL
Then, Restart your PC. I am also attaching the blog link for your reference.
How to Fix the “Requested System Device Cannot Be Found” Error?
I have recently recovered a deleted video from recycle bin but when I played the video it showed a video corruption message. Please help to fix this issue.
Before factory resetting your MacBook, it’s crucial to protect your personal files to avoid losing important data or exposing private information. Start by creating a full backup of your system. The best method is using Time Machine—simply connect an external hard drive and access System Preferences > Time Machine to back up your data. You can also enable iCloud syncing via System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud to store your documents, photos, and other files online. For extra peace of mind, manually copy essential files to a USB drive or cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive.
Next, export any important data that might not be included in a standard backup. This includes key emails from the Mail app, Safari bookmarks (via File > Export Bookmarks), and saved passwords—make sure iCloud Keychain is enabled, or export passwords from your password manager. Before wiping your Mac, it’s also important to deauthorize your accounts. Sign out of your Apple ID under System Preferences > Apple ID > Sign Out, and deauthorize iTunes or the Music app through Account > Authorizations > Deauthorize This Computer.
When you’re ready to erase your Mac, boot into macOS Recovery Mode by restarting and holding Command + R. Use Disk Utility to securely erase the internal drive, choosing a secure erase option (like a 3-pass erase) to make sure your data can’t be recovered. Finally, double-check your backups by opening a few files to ensure everything is intact and accessible.
This can be resolved, i have seen many users facing this same issue.
Go to System Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard and adjust the Key Repeat and Delay Until Repeat sliders. This might help reduce double-typing. Also, double-check that Slow Keys is turned off—it’s in the same section and can sometimes mess with your typing. Next, make sure your Mac is running the latest version of macOS by going to System Settings > General > Software Update.
It’s also a good idea to give your keyboard a gentle clean with compressed air. Just tilt your MacBook at about a 75° angle and spray along the keys to clear out any dust.
Also, As a quick fix, you can try using an external keyboard to keep working without getting frustrated. If all else fails, it might be time to visit a service center, as it could be a hardware issue that needs professional attention.
Hello there,
I’m getting the error “The request failed due to a fatal device hardware error” when trying to access my external drive on Windows 11. The drive is still detected by the system, and I haven’t lost any data yet, but I can’t open or copy files from it.
I’ve tried basic steps like changing the USB port, restarting the system, and updating drivers, but the issue persists.
Has anyone dealt with this error before it led to data loss? Any safe troubleshooting steps I can follow to prevent it from getting worse?
Thanks in advance!
I’m thinking of factory resetting my MacBook soon—maybe to give it a fresh start or pass it on to someone else. But before I do that, I want to make sure none of my personal files get lost or fall into the wrong hands. I’ve got important documents, photos, and a few things I’d really rather not lose. I’ve heard about backing up with Time Machine or iCloud, but I’m not sure what steps I should take to properly protect everything.
Can you help me out with this? How can I safely protect my personal files when factory resetting a MacBook?
I’ve been having a bit of a frustrating time with my MacBook keyboard. Some of the keys keep double-typing, like when I press “e” or “t,” it types them twice, like “lettter” or “greeetings.” It’s making typing a real pain, especially when I’m trying to work or write emails. I’ve tried restarting my MacBook and even cleaning the keyboard, but the problem keeps coming back. I’m not sure if it’s a software glitch or something wrong with the hardware. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
I’m dealing with an issue I’m hoping someone here can help with. I have an external hard drive (WD My Passport, around 2 years old) that suddenly stopped showing up on my Laptop. I’ve only been using it for backups over the past year, and it’s definitely not full.
When I plug it in, I hear a few clicks, but nothing shows up in File Explorer. However, I can see the “Safely Remove Hardware” option in the taskbar listing it as “My Passport.” So it seems like the laptop is detecting something, just not properly.
I tried checking Disk Management, but I’m not familiar with what I’m looking at. There’s no drive letter showing, and I don’t want to risk messing it up by clicking around.
There’s no physical damage—no drops or spills—so I’m guessing this is some kind of internal or software-related issue.
Appreciate any guidance or tips you can offer!
Thanks in advance 🙏
Hi,
I’ve started getting a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) related to intelppm.sys on my Windows PC. It happens randomly, sometimes during startup or while using the system normally.
I haven’t made any major hardware changes, but I did install some recent Windows updates.
Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? A simple step-by-step solution would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Just wanted to check if anyone else is facing this. After installing the April 2025 updates on Windows 11 24H2, I’ve been getting random BSoD (Blue Screen of Death) errors.
It usually happens after boot or while using the system for a short time. I didn’t have these issues before the update. Nothing else has changed on my system.
Is this a known issue? Any fixes or workarounds that have worked for others?
Hi,
I updated my HP ProBook to Windows 11 recently. After the update, the system failed to boot and showed a recovery or repair error. I used a USB recovery drive to fix it, and the laptop finally booted.
But now, all my personal files are missing. Documents, pictures, and downloads are gone — even though I didn’t format the drive.
Is there any way to recover the lost files after this kind of update issue? I haven’t added or changed anything on the laptop since recovery.
Hi,
I’m trying to fix my Windows PC, and I keep getting this error:
“The requested system device cannot be found.”
It shows up when I run some commands like bcdboot or bootrec in Command Prompt. This started after I changed some partitions while reinstalling Windows.
I can still see my hard drive in Disk Management, but I’m not sure what’s wrong.
Can someone please explain what this means and how to fix it in simple steps?
Thanks!
Even if the drive is detected, you can’t be sure data isn’t lost until you’re able to access and verify the files. This error usually points to a hardware or communication issue. Try using a different cable or USB port, run chkdsk X: /f /r (replace X with your drive letter), and check the drive’s SMART status using CrystalDiskInfo.
Test the drive on another PC as well. If it opens, back up your data immediately. If not, avoid writing to it and consider cloning the drive to prevent further risk.
