    I need help fixing external devices


    Yesterday I accidentally removed my ssd from my laptop and my screen went dead into blue screen. after it restarted I tried to put it back but it doesn't show up in windows explorer. I also tried some expansion external hhd and it doesn't also read it. But these devices show up in the connected devices and it says these devices works properly, it just doesn't open up un windows explorer. I also tried to boot in safe mode but it didn't work. How can I fix this.

    :)
