Question Unable to boot using NVME drive, is recognized in BIOS.

[Autolooper]

Hi! I have a laptop that has suddenly become unable to boot from its NVME SSD.

It now hangs indefinitely with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner of the screen.

Is it possible that it's been disabled from a power surge?

model of this laptop?
did it come with the nvme drive or did you upgrade it?

 

[Autolooper]

LENOVO LEGION Y520 upgraded.

does the bios see it as storage or boot drive?
try using installation media to do a repair?

blinking cursor in the upper left corner of the screen

No operating system found.

Installation Media? I've had to pull the NVME drive in order to boot using a SATA SSD.

 

[rgd1101]

wait the os is on the sata ssd?

 

[Autolooper]

There are OS's on both drives. I had to pull the NVME SSD drive in order to boot from the SATA SSD drive.

 

[rgd1101]

you where dual booting before?

 

[Autolooper]

you where dual booting before?

Apparently. It seemed the booting problem with the NVME drive started after a seemingly normal shut down.

 

[rgd1101]

apparently or you don't know.

 

[Autolooper]

Yes I wasn't sure if duel booting could mean anything other than starting with a selection of Operating Systems at start up.

 

[rgd1101]

like Zerk2012 said. look like os/boot corrupt on the nvme.
when you have the nvme in. can't change the boot seq to boot from the sata? then you can see what is on the nvme

 

[Autolooper]

When the NVME was in the computer, I went through the F2 menu and went through the different order options in the BIOS and they would all hang. Is it correct to say that having the NVME drive in the computer will force it to be top priority?
