Hey y'all,
My PC has a multiple-disc layout with a Seagate Barracuda 2TB hard drive, Crucial MX500GB SSD, and a 1TB 970EVO Samsung EVO NVME SSD. Due to the order in which I got these drives (HDD -> SSD -> NVME), all three drives boot Windows; however, the NVME has been my primary use drive.
I was very recently turning on my PC when I got a Blue Screen with an error message: page fault in non-paged area. After multiple restarts and standard troubleshooting (Disk Cleanups, Windows RE, and Disk Diagnosis) I still am unable to boot into this drive and instead am forced to boot into my older HDD. After opening Disk Management to check the afflicted disk (Disk 2), I noticed that there was no System Reserved partition for the NVME drive and three different-sized recovery partitions aside from the primary partition.
From what I've come to understand, the disk layout method my computer uses, MBR, is quite outdated and can only have 4 partitions, so could the excessive number of recovery partitions be the reason my Windows for that drive is unable to boot? Otherwise would anyone know what is the issue with this drive? I'd strongly prefer not to have to wipe the drive and reinstall Windows. I'm happy to provide more info if needed.
