    SSD not being picked up by windows but picked up in bios


    My OS is installed on my SSD so every time i try boot my PC it takes me to recovery, I cant use diskpart commands because it doesnt show any storage devices, but in BIOS i can choose to load from it. If I use a bootable USB with the installation stuff on it, it doesnt allow me to format or to overwrite the partition from my SSD.


    Please i have no idea what is happening, can someone please help

    :)

    BIOS Doesn't Pick Up SSD but Windows Install Does?

    Hey folks,

    I had a PC (tower) built a couple of weeks ago. I have two drives, a 256gb SSD as my boot drive and a 512gb for my programs and files. Everything was working as it should until about 6pm EST on 3/24/19.

    My computer restarted and showed a black screen with the text "Reboot and select proper Boot Device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot Device."

    After a couple of hours trying to reboot and get into BIOS, I finally inserted a USB with the Windows Installer. I was then able to get into BIOS and the BIOS is not seeing my 256gb SSD.

    I then installed windows on my 512gb drive so that I can have something functioning. During the install process, I was prompted with a list of drives to install windows to and the 256gb SSD was on the list. I attempted to repair and reinstall on the 256gb
    but it didn't work.

    I'm now running windows off my 512gb drive. When I pull up file explorer, I can see the 256gb SSD. But when I enter BIOS, it's still not picking it up.

    Additionally, I can no longer see any of my program files on my 512gb drive or my 256gb SSD but I can clearly see the space that is remaining indicating the files still exist on both drives.

    I need help with:

    1. Why would BIOS not recognize the 256gb SSD but once I'm logged into Windows I can see that drive in the File Explorer?

    2. How can I fix the issue in #1?

    3. Why can't I see all program files when running Windows off my 512gb drive?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    BIOS Doesn't Pick Up SSD but Windows Install Does?

    So I was able to run applications off my 256g SSD in the Windows and Windows.Old files. This tells me the SSD is working. Why wouldn't the BIOS identify this drive?
