Hey everyone, I need some help troubleshooting an issue I'm having with Windows 11. I recently used DDU to uninstall my AMD drivers in preparation for a new graphics card and switched to a more powerful power supply. Since making these changes, my system is showing an 'inaccessible boot disk' error, and it doesn't recognize any of my Windows installations, even though my BIOS is picking up all the drives correctly. I've played around with the BIOS settings but haven't had consistent success. Every drive I try to boot from, including those with Windows on them, just leads to a black screen with the lights on but nothing else happening. I've checked that all connections are secure and plugged in properly. I even attempted to boot with just one drive, used the Windows media tool from a USB to restore a system point, and tried installing a fresh instance, but the tool won't let me install on any of the drives. I've also used command prompt in attempts to repair the disks, but that hasn't worked either. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey! First off, it's good practice to always back up your data before making major hardware changes. That said, have you tried reseating your SSD? Sometimes just unplugging it and plugging it back in helps resolve boot issues. Let me know if that does anything!
If reseating doesn’t work, you might want to check if there's a legacy setting in your BIOS that needs adjusting. Some users have had success by changing the boot mode between UEFI and Legacy. Also, ensure that the drive you're trying to boot from is prioritized in the boot order.
