Hi,
I have two PCs in the house, one is my personal work/gaming rig, and one is for others to use.
My rig runs windows 10 from an 512GB NVME drive (boot drive), and has a 120GB SSD (Work) and a 1TB SSD (games, files, etc). The second PC has a 1TB HDD (boot drive).
The second one had an update not long ago, and from there it couldn't boot windows, I assumed it was a HDD file structure failure or a complete HDD failure. I tried the windows repair tool and it just said that nothing could be done.
As I had a spare SSD in my rig (Work), I decided to drop that into the other PC, except I pulled the wrong SSD out, I realised this when I was in the Windows installer and it showed a 1TB SSD instead of a 120GB SSD. Whoops my bad, easy, just swap it back to the other PC right?
Well apparently not, because as soon as I swapped it back to my rig, all of a sudden, my boot drive cant be found on my rig (the NVME that never got touched).
I have unplugged the 1TB SSD and any external drives and even re-seated the NVME in case something happened. This hasn't resolved the issue.
My rig also underwent an update this morning, but had been started a couple of times since without issue. Only after I put this SSD back into it.
Does anyone have any idea of what the issue may be?
