Hi everyone,
I really need some help!
I built a new system yesterday with an MSI Z690 Tomahawk and I managed to install windows fine on a new M.2 NVMe yesterday and get up and running.
I entered BIOS today and used MSI Secure Erase+ to format my second SATA Samsung QVO SSD.
Since doing so, my motherboard boots to BIOS every time and won’t load from my M.2. The BIOS sees it as connected storage but wont recognise it as a boot drive.
I’ve tried the following so far:
Reset BIOS defaults
Cleared CMOS
Changed to CSM and hit F11 upon startup. After electing the M.2, nothing happens and it powers off before returning to BIOS.
Tried disabling Safe Boot
Tried disabling Fast Boot
Tried booting with only the M.2 connected with the SATA SSD disconnected
I feel like I’m going mad here and really wish I didn’t bother messing with the BIOS!
Are there any suggestions? Many thanks
