Recent update installed, disk available yet startup fails
You're facing a boot issue after a clean Windows install. It sounds like the system detected something unexpected during installation. Check your BIOS settings to confirm if the drive is listed as an available boot device. If it isn't, you may need to manually set it up or reinstall the OS with the correct partition. Consider verifying the drive's status in Windows and ensuring no conflicting partitions are present.
Bios can handle formatting, but you might need to adjust settings if you're on a desktop. If not, check the options in your app or settings.
I’m uncertain about locating the drive in the BIOS, as it seems to be the sole one available. The interface hasn’t changed recently, and nothing has been modified. It previously contained two partitions—one unallocated for installation and another six GB folder for the installer.
