I think you should disconnect the Drive 0 and see if the nvme boots.
Want another opinion @phillpower2 @Pyro.
Phillpower2 & Pyro. to save reading everthing.
If you look at the pic in post#12 it shows efi on disk 3 NVME.
The op says the BIOS is set to UEFI and the drive is GPT.
In my opinion he does not need disk 0 for booting.
UEFI does not use the System Reserve Partition.

I agree with Peter, try just booting with one drive - that looks like the leftovers of what was once an OS drive to me.

Thank you all. I unplugged disk 0 and it booted without issue - system appears to be using EFI partition. My BIOS is UEFI + LEGACY, and yes my NVME is GPT.

Last few questions. Do I need to change the EFI partition to active and can I delete the System Reserved partition on disk 0 without incident?

I don't know, I thought maybe this was important and necessary so I asked.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Fair point.
PeterOz said:
Yes. It just means that drive won't be bootable.
If you are worried make a disk image.

That drive's just for storage and not for booting so happy days.

Thank you so much for helping me everyone and dealing with my own self-induced s***. You may take me away now. Take care.
