So I upgraded to Windows 10. Everything went smooth and easy. Windows 10 was working great except that every time I booted, I got a message telling me XFast Lan wasn't installed. So I fired up the ASRock App Store which immediately prompted me that there was a BIOS update available. Silly me, thinking I should update that to the latest version...

Now when I start my computer, I get the prompt asking me to choose which Windows install I want to load: Windows 7, or Windows 7. Picking one of them takes me to a blue screen of death and reboot so quick I can't read it. Picking the other takes me to a Windows Failed To Start error screen with a:

Status: 0xc000000e

Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.

Any tips on how I should try to get this machine booting again?

BIOS update may have reset your drive's AHCI setting. Set it to whatever you originally had it when you installed Windows (either Legacy IDE or AHCI) and it should boot like normal.
