boot device wont detect after PSU swap

[suchamoneypit]

After switching PSU's because I think my PSU is failing, my PC no longer detects my SSD as a boot drive. It does detect my SSD and HDD in bios (HDD doesnt have OS). when the SSD is plugged in its just labeled as Samsung 250GB, nothing to do with windows booting. I've tried different cables , and clearing CMOS, no go. If I do go into  bios it goes through the bios load then goes to a black screen and my monitor then shows "no signal". I tried my SSD in another machine and it too shows up in BIOS, but will not boot and the bios shows no bootable device found.

when looking at my SSD's partitions through a bootable W10 USB, it shows only a reserved (16MB) and primary Partition (232GB) partition is all my data gone and i should just do a fresh install?

Yeah it sounds corrupted, you should check storage management or a 3rd party disk manager to see what it says, raw space or maybe its just inactive or any number of things.

if not since it is most likely just wrecked data

while in an os go ahead and format the 200gb space to ntfs and maybe delete the reserved space into it as well, to be sure its going to work, then do a fresh install.

yeah all the data was completely off it. Took me 4 hours of doing stuff before I thought "maybe I should see if there is even any partitions on it" while I was plugging it in different ports, different cables, different PCs. I was able to reinstall windows, losing all my data(when this first started and I got into safe mode, I put all irreplaceable things like photos I hadn't moved to mass storage on a USB in case something like this happened), but once booted with the new PSU I have loaned from a friend I was able to verify my old PSU was indeed failing and is the cause of my troubles.

 

I have a long road of re-downloading all my stuff on 25mbps. I will remember things I need to download for weeks.
