Windows 10: After booting to encrypted drive cannot boot to unencrypted drive

I booted to an encrypted drive with my bitlocker Key, to recover a deleted file using recovery software. But, now I can't boot to my unencrypted drive. I tried turning off secure boot, no go. I just get a black screen and a white cursor. I tried removing the encrypted drive, no go, same problem. Both systems are Windows 10. I cloned the 2TB drive, two years ago, and I've been using it fine for the past two years. The encrypted drive is 1TB SSD. The unencrypted drive is a 2TB SSD. All my work, gaming and software for the last two years is on the unencrypted drive. I can see and access the unenc

Booting to non encrypted drive

I copied my system to a 2TB SSD drive 2 years ago and it worked fine. All my games and Office software is on the 2TB drive. Yesterday, I had to recover deleted files from the old SSD 1TB drive. It asked for the Bitlocker Security Code and once I entered it, the system booted to that drive. I didn't want it to boot to that drive. And now, I can't get my system to boot to the 2TB drive anymore. I tried to change the boot to the 2TB drive in the Bios, and it ignores me and boots to the 1TB. Even if I remove the 1TB drive as a boot option, the system still boots to it. I can see all the files for the 2TB drive in windows as the D: drive, and I can access everything. But, my system will not boot to that 2TB drive anymore. If I remove the 1TB drive from my laptop, the system still will not boot to the 2TB drive. I just get a light blue screen error with unavailable recover options and it kicks me back to my bios. I believe the system has gone into EFI and secure boot mode, and I see the C: Drive is Bit Locker Encrypted, with a Recovery and Restore partition. My 2TB D: drive isn't listed with a recovery or restore partition, and it doesn't say "Bit Locker Encrypted". Both drives do say, healthy EFI system partition and healthy data partition, but I can't boot to the 2TB D: drive. How do I fix this and be able to boot to my D: drive again without losing everything from the last two years? Both OS systems are Windows 10, and both drives show as OS in computer Management. My Laptop is a Asus TUF Dash F15(2021). Thank you

 

Can't boot from DVD drive

Is your controller in RAID/AHCI modes? If so, the DVD drive will be listed as a separate device in the list of available boot devices, not as "CDROM". Remember that when setting boot device priority. Otherwise, read the manual to see which hotkey during POST brings up the boot menu that lets you select which device to boot from. Even here, the drive will be listed separately, and not as "CDROM".

 

P55A UD3 Problem Booting DVD Drive

You went to bios and selected the dvd drive as first boot up ?) cd-rom doesn't cut it, has to be that exact drive from the list.
