I have two hard drives: a Lexar SSD for Linux Mint and a Kingston SSD for Windows. I recently booted into Mint using Bazzite but didn't change anything on the Kingston SSD. Now, the Windows drive is missing from the BIOS, and I think it might be related to a deleted EFI file. Has anyone experienced this, and what can I do to fix it?

Take a look at your EFI partitions. You can try running `ls /boot/efi/EFI/` to see what’s there. If you get a 'permission denied' message, try `sudo ls /boot/efi/EFI/` instead to check if it lists anything relevant.
It sounds like a Windows-specific issue. It might be best to ask in a dedicated Windows forum to get focused help on this situation.
You should check the output of `lsblk --output NAME,SIZE,FSTYPE,LABEL,PARTTYPENAME,UUID,MOUNTPOINTS` and `sudo efibootmgr`. This will help you see what's happening with your disks and EFI boot entries.
I ran that and it shows 'BOOT' and 'fedora'. Does that mean something might be wrong with the EFI setup?
