Hi,
I am in a very strange situation. Recently, while I was on my computer and trying to load BF4, my computer suddenly crashed, and ever since then, I cannot use my ssd as boot drive.
What is happening is that Bios is NOT detecting my ssd as a boot option ever since that crash, even though it shows up in file explorer, disk management, and diskpart. But even more interestingly, when I go to "board explorer" on my MSI gaming 5 motherboard, it shows that one of the sata ports is occupied by the SSD. But as I said, it still does not show up as a boot option.
Also, I am fully capable of accessing all my files on the ssd through file explorer. I can view any documents or pictures, I can transfer files etc. I even tried cloning it to my other hard drive which booted up perfectly. I have also erased all data on the drive after backing it up and formatted it as an NTFS drive, but bios is still not detecting it.
I have also tried plugging it into different ports on different computers, but nothing worked.
My ssd is 1.5 years old and is a Crucial M4 SSD 128gb. It is a refurbished item, but it was only sent back to the manufacturer because of firmware, which had to be reloaded.
So it seems like it is working and fully functional, but for some reason, it shows up everywhere except the bios boot options.
Any help is appreciated.
