Problems with startup disks
Problems with startup disks
Hi there, The Windows installation is on a 250GB WD Blue NMVE M.2 SSD and appears as the boot drive in Disk Management. However, when checking the BIOS boot order, a 500GB WD HD shows up first and, if set to NVME, results in a black screen with no bootable files. Could anyone assist me with this issue? Thank you!
Is your 250GB WD SSD Disk4 listed in the disk manager? It isn’t starting because it lacks an EFI bootloader. It seems the drive uses an MBR partition table. Verify by right-clicking Disk4, selecting Properties. Go to the Volumes tab. If the partition style indicates MBR, you’ll need to convert it to GPT first to enable a UEFI compatible bootloader.

The system is currently running GPT, but you can still create an EFI volume manually.

Thanks for the feedback. When working with the NVME driver on your C drive, you can proceed as described. The quick format should apply to the newly created EFI partition. Regarding booting, you can start from your current EFI partition without needing a USB, but ensure the system is properly configured.
