Question Missing NVME (boot drive) after CMOs reset

[loogey22]

Hey everyone, I was having an issue with my pc not posting when turning it on. (Happened maybe 2 out of 5 times) Saw a post saying resetting cmos could help.

After doing this, it shot me straight into bios and won’t let me leave. Through some digging it’s not showing my bootable drive. It was my nvme that apparently disappeared. I have 2 nvme slots on my mother board and I moved it to the other one making sure it was fully seated and still didn’t show. Not sure where to go from here..

Any help would be appreciate.

Which sata port is your Seagate drive plugged into? Make sure its not Sata 6G_5 or 6 since those ports interfere with the M.2_2 socket. You could leave the Seagate unplugged from the sata ports until you can get the booting situation resolved.

Honestly don’t remember which port it’s plugged into. I built it about 4 years ago. I’ll unplug it when I get off work and see if it picks the NVME back up.

I appreciate the response. I’ll let ya know how it goes.

I removed the Seagate drive. Bios still doesn’t recognize the NVME. I’ll try and move it back to the original slot and see if that makes a difference..
