Hello, so today, after 6 years my samsung SSD doesnt boot into windows anymore. The SSD gets recognized, i connected it to another PC  like how you would connect an external drive. Like that SSD shows up, but I can only see the Steam Library, so all other windows files, documents etc. are gone. How can i access the files? Is it possible that only windows files are corrupted and the disk is okay?

Try running the repair tool through a windows boot stick

My bad, thought I had windows on this drive. Connected the other SSD and boom, all the files appeared. Thanks for the tip tho. :)

I'd be laughing if I knew I hadn't done the same lol

Glad you got it figured out

would you happen to know where Virtual Box saves files from a Virtual Machine? I need the files that were on a virtual machine. /VirtualBox VMs does not have VDI inside, any other way i can find the VDI file?

The default storage location unless you changed it, which i believe is in your user appdata folder
