Selected boot device not available

[nick_is21]

I run a Dell Precision Workstation T5500.

Today I was backing up one external hard drive to another through the desktop (ie moving the files to the desktop then to the new hard drive)

When I dragged the files from the desktop to the 2nd hard drive the computer crashed. I didn't read the full crash report but it was along the lines of "your computer has been shut down to avoid damage"

I rebooted and have now discovered that my system wont boot.

If I go to the boot device menu it still has "SATA1-" as an option but is missing the numbers that used to come after "SATA1-"

If I select SATA is gives the message "Alert! Failed to detect one or more drives during POST. Strike F1 to continue"

If I press F1 it then gives the message "Selected boot device not available - strike F1 to retry boot"

If I run onboard diagnostics I get
"Error Code 0141.
MSG: Error Code 2000-0141
MSG: Hard Drive - No drive detected"

Has the SSD died or could it be another issue?

Thank you for your help

did you try to use another sata cable from board to ssd and even another port on the the motherboard.

Tried another Sata cable into Port 0 and it didn't even recognise that anything was plugged in.
Tried the original Sata cable into Port 3 and it recognised that something was plugged in but still wouldn't boot
