After spending way too much time with various ideas that didn't work, I ended up xcopying the contents, then wiping and re-installing.
I always leave my machine on.
This morning, I went to wake it up and it wouldn't.
I proceeded to turn off/on and the machine said something about couldn't find bootable disk.
I repeated with same results.
I removed all my disks ( 2 ssd's and a secondary nvme ) and left only my known NVME drive connected.
I reboot windows and I see
1. Windows boots into the "Please Wait..." screen
2. Windows asks me to choose keyboard layout
3. I tried Troubleshoot->Startup Repair and it fails "... couldn't repair"
4. I try TroubleShoot->CMD Prompt and it gets interesting.
It drops you into X:\
I go to C: and see an empty drive (!) labeled RECOVERY
I go to D: and.. it's my main boot drive... all files look intact.
Is there something I can do to tell Windows to switch where it thinks the boot is onto D... or switch the D back to C ?
