Question My boot drive no longer boots to windows

[aunebrushan]

Safe to say i have no clue what is going on. The other day i installed a new ssd, it worked just fine. Now today i got a screw set so i could fasten it to the motherboard, which is what i did. Now i just boot to bios, the boot drive is a 500gb boot drive shows up and so does my new 2tb drive. When trying to force a boot it says Reboot and select a proper boot device. Has my drive randomly formatted itself? This is hilarious and i am completely mindblown how this is possible. What the ruck is this

Thing is i have been using the pc with the 2tb drive for a couple of days. No issues. I ended up cleaning the pc completely, removed the motherboard aswell. My only guess is the boot drive wiped itself, could removing the front panel headers cause this?

boot from the 2tb drive.
then check what is in the m.2 drive?

Everything worked out, i installed windows on the 2tb drive and to my surprise every file on the "broken" ssd was still present. Now its working as intended. 🤨
