Details: MOBO B550-A-Pro processor, Ryzen 5600x memory, 16GB RAM, 3600mhz clock, EVGA B5 550 graphics, BIOS updated via flash button, RX 580 GPU, unknown post-GPU info. Initial boot failed with no visuals; consulted forum thread about secure boot updates. Experimented with older GPUs and BIOS settings (switched to CSM from UEFI). Some drives detected but not accessible. SSD still shows files, HDD only shows images/videos. No M.2 or NVMe drive available for testing. Thumb drive worked for booting. Please share any missed details. Thank you for reading.

Rx580 functions without requiring a CMS, it operates independently. Would you like another PC to check the drives?

I don’t know for sure right now, but I’ll have access later. They were removed from another system the day before, so I thought they’d still function. I’ll verify quickly soon. Could be there’s another drive nearby, but until my friend brings his backup I can’t confirm if any are working.

You're wondering if the presence of the SSD in the BIOS indicates that your old HDD or SSD is damaged. It doesn't necessarily mean they're fried, just that the system recognizes the new drive.

I’ve checked both drives in older systems, but I’m not sure which one is HDD or SSD. The SSD is a Samsung Evo 860. It works in legacy BIOS setups, but it won’t show up in UEFI mode. There’s no automatic conversion needed unless you want to change the drive type. You can use a BIOS update tool or a disk management utility to switch between HDD and SSD formats depending on your needs.

You might have to modify the BIOS and upload an EFI boot file since you're using UEFI. This is typically handled through the BIOS menu and boot settings. Choose the option to add a boot entry and pick the Boot.EFI file from the appropriate disk folder.

There is a tool available that transforms an MBR into a GPT, ensuring UEFI compatibility... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...a-gpt-disk Of course, exercise caution when using the command prompt.
