Question What's wrong with my M.2 SATA SSD?

[nicksandeimer]

Hi, I bought a new motherboard thinking it was the problem but turns out my m.2 is screwed up in a way I've never seen, I had to buy an usb m.2 adapter just to read it because it's not letting my other windows install to start if it's plugged in an m.2 slot.

the pc is unusable when it's plugged in usb mode

Please help me I don't want to lose those data, what can I do? Ask me if you need extra informations.

Thanks!

Bottom one ? No partitions have a letter, should try to assign a letter to second and last partition.

That's the catch, since it won't show up in diskpart and the system is unusable while it's plugged via the usb adapter I can't do anything about drive letters or chkdsk commands

Is it NVME SSD or SATA SSD ? can you give me the M.2 SSD model ?

When you put it on the motherboard M.2 Sata compatible slot what happens?

it's either shown in the bios boot settings and the system won't boot at all or it will boot without acknowledging the sata m.2's presence, I tried going into windows repair mode but if the m.2 is present it just takes forever to load the language settings amd then it's a purple screen oblivion

do you have any 2.5 or 3.5 HDD/SSD in your system?

maybe one of them is shared with the M2 Sata onboard , remove all drives and Just used the M2 Sata onboard . and the other NVME SSD that has the system . and see if it appears.

I've already tried that, it doesn't change anything unfortunately 🙁
