Windows 10: SSD not detected by BIOS after BSOD in Windows reset

I have been using my new build without problem for about 3 weeks until I decided to reset my Windows 10 as I thought the system caught an unremovable Trojan. The system ran on a Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD 980 1TB. During the reset, at abt 90%, Windows showed a BSOD with error code WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. I was left with no choice but to restart the system. As expected, Windows say it is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled. I plugged in my installation media to reinstall a fresh Windows. But the new Windows was in fact installed on my another M.2 in the system, ADATA SX8200 1TB. In my new Windows

Hi Joey,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We understand how difficult it could be. However, could you please let us know was there any major change on your system prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?

Meanwhile, we would suggest you to follow the methods mentioned below and check if it resolves the issue.

After following the steps above, if the SSD is being detected. Please follow

SSD is not detected in BIOS

Hi,

My desktop computer was running perfectly fine when suddenly the SSD (boot OS) is not detected when booting up. I tried using the SSD with other computers, it's not being detected. Removed other sata cables and just used this one and still not working.

However, when I tried using an enclosure, the files are being detected. Tried to boot it using the enclosure, I'm getting an error message (INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE). It does go to login screen when I do safe mode but Im unable to login because I was using
a PIN to get access. Unable to reset pw as well because it's only working on safe mode.

Any help?

Msi gtx 950

Kingston 120gb SSD (win10 OS)

WD HDD 1TB (other hdd for files)

Installing SSD not detected by BIOS

Sequence of installing new SSD.

1. Disconnected the HDD with Windows.
2. Fitted Syba 4 Sata PCI-E card
3. Fitted Samsung 500GB 860 SSD connected to Syba 4 Sata PCI-E card
4. Installed Windows 10 Home in Samsung 500GB 860 SSD

​Windows installed fine in the SSD. Entered the BIOS to set the SSD as 1st Boot priority but the BIOS has not detected it. The only boot devices shown in the BIOS are the CD/DVD Rom and the Replaceable Device. *Mad
Device Manager shows the SSD connected.
I connected the the HDD which still has Windows installed but I get the message to "Reboot and Select Boot Media" even though the SSD is still connected. *Eek
Any help would be most appreciated.

Just noticed while safe removing USB memory stick that the SSD shows as a removable drive C\:!!!! *Eek
