Question Windows BSOD after update and now drives either not showing or are at 0/0 bytes free.

Windows 10 updated and restarted automatically while i was at work. i came home and was able to log in and after 2 minutes everything started freezing up and i got a BSOD. I did not record the error code as i thought this was a one off crash.
When i tried to boot again i got sent to the troubleshooting options menu after 5 minutes of loading. Most of the options were unusable for one reason or another (mostly errors). I attempted to reinstall windows but there is only one disk listed and it is at 0/0 bytes free.
Plugging my C: drive into another computer shows me the correct amount of storage and free space, and all the files are visible and available.
I checked the Bios and i can see my boot drive (NVME m.2) and my SATA SSD but not my other NVME m.2


I have cleared all the data off the drive while in the 2nd computer, so it should be ready for a new windows installation but it is still saying it is a 0 byte drive.

Thank you for all your help!
 
I have been able to successfully install windows on the NVME on the 2nd computer. it booted and ran perfectly fine. I am getting a temporary MB from a friend and will see if this new board allows me to boot to windows.
