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

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

coarse glacier
#

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

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.

willow magnet
#

i wonder if something did a bios update

#

and borked it

#

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

winged nymph
#

it doesnt seem to be a bios update

#

bios version is 1402 which is from 9/21/2023

willow magnet
#

oh didnt evne bother checking that

winged nymph
#

current/latest version is 1805 from 11/22/2024

willow magnet
#

so probably just the drive dying or the board had an oopsie poopise

winged nymph
#

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?

winged nymph
#

nope, cant salvage like that

#

coz the raid 0 set up is striped

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?

winged nymph
#

u can configure it as raid0

#

it's called single drive array

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

winged nymph
#

it is

#

hahaha

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

willow magnet
#

welp. im gonna go back to what i as doing before taking a break
