Sometimes a simple hardware failure can also halt your work. Similarly, one of the reasons your system can collapse is a boot disk error. Several reasons can lead you to such issues, like incorrect boot orders, partition issues, or a hard disk failure. Usually, due to lack of knowledge, users are not aware that they can fix this problem on their own. In a few minutes, you can follow some steps. They will fix your laptop. Here we will illustrate the methods that are compatible with Windows 10, 8. 1, 8 and 7.

Following is the detailed information on the steps for three methods through which you can resolve a boot disk error. However, you have to keep in mind that every step is performed correctly without any loopholes.

How to fix Boot Disk Error on your Acer laptop

It is essential to set boot order settings so that you can remove the error without any difficulty. A hard disk is the one that should be the first boot device in your system. Whichever option you keep in the first place when designing the settings of the system has the first boot priority. If your computer or laptop has other settings, then make sure you have the hard disk as the first device in your boot priority list. Here you have to choose that hard drive that contains the operating system of the equipment.

Below are the steps for checking the boot order:

  • Step 1. Reboot your system.
  • Step 2. Enter the BIOS settings.
  • Step 3. Go to the Boot tab.
  • Step 4. Here, by changing the boot order settings, you can make the hard drive your first boot device.
  • Step 5. After making changes, save the settings.
  • Step 6. Then again reboot your device.

Sometimes a boot error can show up due to an ill-chosen status of partitions in the system. If your primary partition is not set to “active,” then this issue can crop up. To resolve this problem, you are required to set the status as “active,” which is done by using “diskpart.” It will run the necessary commands to fix the issue.

Here are the steps you should undertake:

  • Step 1. Insert the Windows installation media (DVD or USB flash drive) and boot your Acer laptop system with the help of these tools.
  • Step 2. Go to the system recovery options or troubleshoot and click on “Command Prompt.”
  • Step 3. Here a dialogue box will open where you have to enter a command “diskpart” and then click “Enter.”
  • Step 4. After entering the command, type “select disk 0” and press “Enter.”
  • Step 5. Then you have to type “list partition” and proceed further by pressing “Enter.”
  • Step 6. Write “select partition 1” and press “Enter.”
  • Step 7. Here you have to type “active,” which is a final step, and press “Enter.”

After concluding this process, the primary partition will be set to active. To make sure that the issue is solved, you have to restart your Acer laptop.

The third method is for repairing corrupted boot files. These files can also trigger this error, such as damaged “boot configuration data” and “mater boot record.”

By following further steps, you can repair this data on your own:

  • Step 1. First, you have to insert the boot disk and boot your device.
  • Step 2. After the boot process is complete, then select the language as well as the region, and then click “repair your computer.”
  • Step 3. I booted from Windows 10 (or 8.\* install) media and clicked the “Troubleshoot” settings option located beneath the Startup Settings button. Then, choose “Command Prompt.”8
  • Step 4. If your system recovery option is Windows 7 installation media, then select Windows 7 as the operating system and click “Next.”
  • Step 5. After selecting the operating system, click “Command Prompt.”
  • Step 6. When command prompt opens up, then you are required to type the following lines one by one by pressing “Enter” after each input. If the system asks you to add a new installation to the boot list, then opt for Y and press “Enter.”
  1. bootrec /fixmbr
  2. bootrec /fixboot
  3. bootrec /scanos
  4. bootrec /rebuildbcd
  • Step 7. Shut down the command prompt window and reboot your system after that.

It is mandatory that the steps that are described above be followed in the same way so that the problem can be fixed without any hassle.
