The boot partition appears to have been removed.
I possess a budget SSD that a local shop advisor suggested I purchase... it cost about 30 dollars for a 256 GB SATA M.2 SSD. After roughly six months, it seems to have erased my boot partition. I’ve been trying to boot three operating systems—Windows, plus two Linux distributions—each time everything worked until recently. Now when I power on the PC, it jumps straight into the GRUB menu and selects either Windows or another OS. However, it immediately launches into Pop OS with systemd booting. Checking the UEFI settings, it shows Pop OS as the default bootloader, with no other options available. Salient OS is still installed but not present in the boot menu anymore. I have important data stored on the Salient partition, and in the EFI partition it appears there’s Salient OS, though the boot screen doesn’t show it. If you can check your EFI partition or EFI settings, that might help. Also, a screenshot from the efibootmgr command in the terminal is available if needed.
Can you attempt to start and choose a particular EFI? Also, if you're running three operating systems, I wouldn't suggest using a single small drive.
