I made a mistake by replacing the SSD in BIOS with MSI's Secure erase. This also removed the boot manager, so Windows 11 won't boot from that drive anymore. I expected it to work independently, but it doesn’t. You won’t be able to access it normally—reinstalling everything might be necessary.

You start your system directly from the BIOS using a boot manager, then power it on through an SSD.

Check if the bootable Windows 11 USB supports troubleshooting. If not, I recall a similar situation with Windows 10 and used this resource.

It doesn’t appear at all, so I can’t proceed. I’ve set up Windows 11 on the SSD, but there’s no way to choose my previous Windows 11 SSD.

It seems the system requires a fresh setup of the ESP and MSR partitions for it to function properly

It looks like a solid tutorial, but your drive didn’t cooperate, so I ended up wiping both and reinstalling Windows 11. A good lesson! Thanks for the assistance!
