Accidentally wiped SSD and can’t boot from main drive, help!

Asked By TechWhiz123 On

I have two SSDs, both with Windows installed. I mistakenly booted my PC from the spare SSD and then changed the boot order in the BIOS, which worked fine. After that, I transferred some files but accidentally wiped the correct SSD using Command Prompt. Now, when I try to boot up, I'm sent straight to the default troubleshooting menu. I've run startup repair, but it doesn't work. I checked the volumes in Command Prompt, and they all show as healthy. Can anyone help me figure out how to fix this?

Sounds like a frustrating situation! If TestDisk is not successful, you may want to try using a professional data recovery service. Sometimes DIY methods can cause more issues, and they have specialized tools that can help. But definitely start with TestDisk—it’s usually a good first step.

First off, don't format the SSD you just wiped! You might be able to recover it. I suggest trying TestDisk. It can help find and restore the old Partition Table. Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully and disconnect any other drives before running it; only have the SSD you want to recover connected.
