May 256GB SSD ako na bigla na lang nagka-problema. Noong sinubukan ko isaksak gamit ang external USB enclosure sa ibang PC, nadedetect naman siya ng Windows (may sound at lumalabas sa Device Manager), pero ang problema 1KB na lang ang pinapakitang capacity sa Disk Management.
I tried removing the SSD and then inserting my bootable USB to access the F12 Boot Manager. When I do this, the USB shows up perfectly. However, if I insert both the SSD and the bootable USB at the same time, I cannot access the BIOS. Whether I press F2 or F12, the screen just stays black.
I’m dealing with a persistent boot freeze on my older Acer motherboard. It seems like the BIOS hangs as soon as it tries to initialize the internal SSD.
My Plan:
Disconnect the SSD.
Boot into the F12 Boot Manager using a Live Linux Mint USB.
Once I’m at the menu, "hot-plug" the SSD back in...
