Try running the HDD tests - see p.131 of the maintenance and service guide Advanced System Diagnostics
Hi @bilal37136
The only thing that I can now suggest is to reset the BIOS back to factory default condition and then check if you can boot the laptop from a recovery USB drive and fix the SSD boot partition.
Here are ways that I'd try to reset the BIOS:
- Enter BIOS and check if there's a Load Setup Defaults option and select it
- With the laptop turned off and the charger disconnected (if connected) remove the battery from the laptop and then press and hold the Power on button for 30 seconds and release it.
- With the laptop turned off and the charger disconnected (if connected) remove the battery from the laptop and the RTC coin cell battery from the motherboard. Go to p.76 in the maintenance guide linked above to see how to remove the coin cell battery.
Once the BIOS has been reset and you can select the USB drive as the 1st boot option (press Esc then F9) and if Win10 is installed in the laptop, create a USB recovery drive. You can create the drive from any known working Win10 PC. All you need is an 8GB USB flashdrive and 1-2 hours of time.
In the host PC go to Control Panel > Recovery > create a recovery drive and follow the prompts.
Once you have the USB recovery drive, insert it into the laptop, and turn it on (ensure that the USB is the 1st boot option). The laptop should boot from the USB drive into the Windows Recovery Environment menus .
When there go to Troubleshooting > Advanced > Startup repair and follow the prompts.
If you select Reset this PC instead, be careful because if you select the wrong option after this you could erase all your personal data and 3rd party apps as Windows will be reinstalled.

Hi @bilal37136
Are both the storage drives being shown as detected in BIOS?
Can you turn off secure boot in BIOS?

The BIOS is very limited and it doesn't show anything related to hard drive or anything

What does it show in BIOS>System Configuration?
If the SSD model numbers are there then they're being detected but if they're not shown in the boot options list then the boot partition on the boot drive (C; drive) is faulty.
It won't boot off the second SSD if it is not a "bootable" drive. It could have Windows on it but this doesn't mean that it has been initialized so that it will boot on startup.

There is no place in the bios which says anything about drives
