You need to provide some details about your computer.
Laptop or desktop or All in one.
Big brand E.G HP Dell Et cetera
If big brand, name model and serial number or service tag number.
If not a big brand then make and model of motherboard.

Did this drive use to boot or is it a new drive?
If an old drive and it does not boot now.
1) Drive is corrupted and needs a repair install of the operating system - you have not said what os you have.
2) Drive is faulty and needs replacing and a fresh install of the operating system.

A faulty drive can still show up in the bios.
Do you have your data backed up.
If not do you have access to another computer and a blank usb drive minimum 8GB
 
So in the BIOS under SATA information my SSD still shows up and I can see my files as if I want to load a bios profile my files show up. I am on Windows 11 and my motherboard is gigabyte b365m ds3h cpu is i5 9400f 16gb ram amd a 1tb ssd
 
Can you take a picture of what you are seeing and upload it so we know exactly what we are dealing with, like I said previously no personal files can be identified until the computer has actually booted into Windows, the BIOS has zero to do with anything other than the power on self test (POST).

Just a fyi, a computer has not successfully booted until you are in a fully working operating system such as Windows.
