Failure to recognize boot drive in computer
Same error pops up every time and I’ve tried everything still the same error code please help
coarse glacier
Didn't read the example post did we..
hollow plank
Srry im new
coarse glacier
Just edit the main post to fix it.
hollow plank
Aii

Did your os delete itself during an update and do the bios see the drive at all?
hollow plank
Bro, honestly, I was playing a game and it crashed and that error code kept popping up and I tried everything with my friend who knows about PCs and he told me come in this discord
Cause somebody probably knows better
hollow plank
Did your os delete itself during an update and do the bios see the drive at all?
I think so
coarse glacier
Well look in your bios because your pictures dun tell me nothing.
There are 3 choices, the os died, the drive died, or your slot for your drive died.
Also isn't it under warranty still?
hollow plank
Na
Can you tell me estimate how much you think it would be to fix?
Na not under warranty
It just tells me to back up my data and get a new ssd
Idk how already it only been a year with it
coarse glacier
Uuhh like 80$ for a good nvme but it will be 1tb instead of 2tb
hollow plank
Alr thank you for your help really appreciate
coarse glacier
I'd try taking the drive out and putting it back in.

do you have more than 1 storage drive? why is it under a RAID controller?
willow magnet
i know of 1 case where a bios update defaulted to a raid set up but it was a bad bios update
that was forever ago though, i dont remember what board it was but the update was taken down
bios reset to defaults might fix the drive not showing
willow magnet
oh didnt evne bother checking that
winged nymph
current/latest version is 1805 from 11/22/2024

if i have to guess, this pc was configured to run RAID 0 single drive
and the raid borked and shat on itself, or the drive itself peaced out
willow magnet
cyberpower configuring raid 0 on a single drive is silly QC
winged nymph
it's kinda a way to bump up performance but...
well the drawback is since it's a RAID 0 using one drive, it can shit on itself pretty easily lmao
willow magnet
imagine if there is more wrong with the system though...
why did the drive die? was it poor quality already? adata usually have decent drives
if the drive isnt dead, that means something is wrong with the board and what caused that?
winged nymph
yeah im guessing it's just the controller and it lost the configuration for the raid set up
willow magnet
or possibly something wrong with the cpu
winged nymph
raid 0 is extremely prone to failure since it has no fault tolerance at all
probably can salvage it by just running the drive without the raid set up
willow magnet
if it's configured for raid0, moving it to the bottom m.2 could be a problem
winged nymph
disable raid, set up storage drive as ahci, reinstall windows. should probably work
willow magnet
although i dont have enough experience with moving a single raid0 drive to another controller
well since it's a single drive, shouldnt the OS be salvageable?
willow magnet
tbh i only ever used raid like 3 times and only on a few hdd
winged nymph
switching to AHCI alone will brick the raid configuration so everything poofs lol
willow magnet
so it's expecting raid protocol and cant be changed at all. that kind of sucks
winged nymph
pretty much. this would have been a different story if it was 2 drives on RAID1
willow magnet
part of why i never used raid for anything on my main system was because of the potential of shit going sideways and only ever planned to use it in the nas i never got around to setting up
winged nymph
i think one of the issues lately is how boards are set up in the bios, it's usually default to RAID and the only other option is AHCI
the issue is NVME is supposed to be on the list as well which is actually faster than AHCI
then some boards automatically switch AHCI to NVME when an nvme drive is in use while some boards use RAID when nvme is in use
so a builder that's unfamiliar with this and doesnt check it might end up using the wrong setting lol
willow magnet
how is a single drive configured for raid0 though when it requires 2 drives?
willow magnet
can you even easily add to it or does that require reconfiguration/reinstalling windows?
winged nymph
reinstalling windows is required lol
willow magnet
the whole thing feels like a hot mess
willow magnet
looking online, i guess it's something cyberpowerpc does from factory
winged nymph
basically the drive is split into 2 volumes, then raid is made using the 2 volumes
willow magnet
as you said it above i remember what i saw when i was looking at raid 5 vs raid 6 and raid 10 for performance and storage
i was gonna do raid 6 i think for my nas but someone told me there was a better way that reduced lost storage capacity to redundancy but i forgot what that was
winged nymph
i always do raid10
it's a bit more costly but it's less hassle and headache in the long run
willow magnet
so this persons drive might still be fine and there is nothing wrong with the system other than something glitched and wiped out everything
or the drive is toast
winged nymph
yup
i'd suggest trying to salvage the drive first. just gotta reinstall windows and all
willow magnet
i'd still get a second drive just in case
winged nymph
ngl im confused how that drive just failed lol
it's a really good drive. not zoom zoom fast but it's good
willow magnet
i wonder if what we are seeing from that picture is the result of poking around and likely a bios reset from the OPs friend
maybe just need to properly config it back to how it was, but that could still mean the drive is dead
winged nymph
i wonder if what we are seeing from that picture is the result of poking around ...
possible
willow magnet
welp. im gonna go back to what i as doing before taking a break
