I'm experiencing a lot of stress right now because my important files on the Windows installation are not booting properly due to a storeMI issue and a failing SSD. I installed StoreMI, which combines multiple HDDs with an SSD for faster performance. After the installation, my SSD stopped working, and I couldn't start the system. I kept seeing BSODs with no stop code or a critical process crashing. Can anyone help me fix this and restore my old OS without StoreMI? I have a Windows 10 boot media available on a thumb drive if that would be useful.

Is the SSD fully nonfunctional? Is it visible at all? Do you have backups? I think I’ll forward this to a recovery service—there are methods to retrieve data from an SSD, and the array can be reassembled, though it won’t be inexpensive. If you can’t restore the SSD, you’ll likely face significant issues since all files are scattered across multiple drives.

It appears in the bios, but I don’t have backups. I’m trying to rebuild GPT somehow on a Windows bootable media, or is there something more serious going on?

Create an image of the SSD using Ddrescue, then duplicate it onto another drive. Check if the clone boots successfully. You can't restore the GPT until both drives are functioning properly.
