Got. Computer with a 500G SSD, and 2 1 TB HDD,  and use windows 10

Been a while since I restarted so I hit restart. After that I entered my password, my screen was blank( except windows toolbar Flickering)I couldn't click on anything. I restarted a couple times to see if that would work . Still didnt I ended up doing a system restore ( it failed). And now at my bios menu I can only see 1 of my Hdd, and Blu Ray drive but not my SSD, or other HDD or windows Boot. Do I just have to install windows again.  Bios says those drives aren't installed

So you are still able to login? Can you get the the task manager running with key combination ctr + shift + esc?

If so then you can start a new task " explorer.exe ". Sounds like that this does not start at boot in your case.

Ahh this sounds like the issue I had it as well with an old WinXP machine

Might have missed that part. Then i won't even bother pull any data from the drive that is important back it up and reinstall Windows. Very likely either drive failed or Windows corrupted the last one can't be restored as there is not something as a working boot recovery for Windows.
