Performing Windows auto repair using an external NVME device
Performing Windows auto repair using an external NVME device
During startup with your external NVME connected, you encounter an auto-repair alert followed by a blue screen displaying an unrelated path on the drive. The issue occurs only with your Sabrent Rocket 512GB enclosure and not with other NVME devices. I suspect Windows is scanning for NVME drives during boot and temporarily disabling them, which may cause this behavior. I’ve tried removing the drive and it works, but I want it to remain active. Disabling boot priority helped temporarily. You also have an Asrock B760 steel legend—could that play a role?
It may stem from how the external NVMe storage is structured. Windows interprets it as a boot device. Open BIOS and place your boot drive at the top of the boot sequence. Turn off Fast Startup via Control Panel → Power Options → choose button behavior.
Apologies for the delayed response, but it seems the BIOS interpreted it as a boot device, even though I was using my main NVME as the primary boot source. I’ve switched to my external 2.5-inch drive now and the external NVME as a backup. Both provide identical speeds due to bandwidth constraints, which is acceptable.
