So yeah, I was just using my PC as I usually would and decided to restart it.

It booted up just fine to the point where it would usually boot into Windows...I got a bsod saying "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE" and it rebooted into the troubleshooting / reset system manager thingy. 

 

The drive is a Samsung 950 pro m.2 nvme ssd and shows up in the bios.

 

I noticed that it didn't give me any safe boot opinions in the troubleshooting section. 

 

I've cleared the CMOS, unplugged all other drivers , no success.

 

When I tried to enable safe boot using cmd in the troubleshooting section, I also noticed that the drive letter was X:, not C: and I couldn't change it to drive C:.

 

The system recovery and system image recovery wouldn't work, saying files were missing or the drive is locked.

 

So I kinda gave up and decided to wipe the drive and see if I could reinstall windows... Now here's what threw me off..

 

I booted off all USB stick I had created just before restarting my PC, get into the setup and it shows my boot drive as unallocated...

 

What the hell happened there? If any of you had an idea how to fix this, it would be highly appreciated.
