You're experiencing some unusual issues with your SSDs and installation process. It sounds like the power button press might have caused a problem with your SSD's recognition or stability. The fact that you can boot Windows on the new SSD while the Samsung one doesn’t suggests there may be differences in how they handle power states or firmware. Try checking the SSD’s power settings, ensuring it’s properly seated, and verifying that the BIOS is set up correctly for your system. If the issue persists, consider testing with a different USB port or power source to rule out hardware faults.
