Iastor.sys BSOD - will not boot to OS
Hello community,
I have an inspiron 15r, about a year old that returns a BSOD upon boot.
The problem is with Iastor.sys - which I understand is Matrix Storage Manager.
My problem is none of the regular boot options work. No safe mode, no last good config.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Would it be possible to just download a new iastor.sys and replace the existing file with a new one via repair console?

Sounds like a failed/failing hard drive.
Run Hardware Diagnostics at boot up. F12

I dont think its a failing hard drive.
I removed the drive and placed it in a HDD dock i have and it spins fine, no errors or anything. I tried to make a copy of the user's files an I wasn't able to due to permissions issues.
I'm wondering if i can place a fresh iaStor.sys on the drive and plug it back in. Seems like it should work.
