System fails to recognize SSD post-error.
System fails to recognize SSD post-error.
Hey there, thanks for checking out this post—it's my debut here. I'm still getting the hang of things technically. To recap, the specs are: Windows 10, MSI B550-A Pro, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, ASRock Taichi Radeon RX 6800 XT, storage includes a VP4100 NVMe M.2 SSD (1TB) and a WD40EFRX-68N32N0 (4TB).
Yesterday, while just browsing YouTube without much demand, my PC would freeze and keep loading into BIOS even after multiple restarts. It didn't power off properly, just stuck in BIOS. This is because the SSD isn’t recognized as a boot drive—it feels like it’s missing.
Anyone have a idea on how to fix this? If the SSD is failing, how can I back up data safely and transfer it to a new one? Thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers, Marius
Would I be correct in assuming the BIOS doesn't recognize a connected drive? That suggests your SSD might be faulty. If it reached that point, you'll probably need to retrieve the device using a data recovery service. You’ll likely want to back up your information beforehand.
