Your SSD is showing signs of failure and Windows is giving warnings. It boots intermittently, but not reliably. Crucial advised sending it for repair, which would leave you without a bootable drive. You already backed up the drive recently, so you can restore from that image. However, restoring from a fresh HDD installation on your spare drive caused the SSD to appear again. To fix this, ensure the backup file is complete and intact, and verify the image was saved correctly. If needed, use a reliable tool to create a bootable USB from the backup before attempting a second restore. This should help you recover without starting over.

Occasionally, I encountered "Incorrect Parameter" messages when attempting a restore, despite using a Linux live CD to copy the system partition. Eventually, I decided to restart and reinstall, though I still have the system image available.
