[SOLVED] Can no longer boot from SSD after power surge but files are still accessible?

Hello,

After a power surge today, I was no longer able to boot from my SSD. Every attempt to boot resulted in a BSOD (split-second long so I couldn't even read it properly) and my PC restarting itself again. Tried using Microsoft's built-in repair function but no luck.

I ended up reinstalling Windows on one of my HDDs with no issues. However, I'm still able to access every file on my SSD. How is that possible? I would have thought the entire SSD was damaged by the power surge. Any ideas why I still can't boot Windows from it?

Thanks in advance.
