Windows 10: How to fix bios not detecting my 2 drives

I have 3 drives. A 500gb nvme SSD, 1tb Samsung SSD , and a 2tb hard drive. I was previously on windows 10 downloaded on my 500gb SSD. I was trying to install windows 11 on my new Samsung SSD that I put in my pc. I booted up my flash drive and installed windows to the new SSD. Note that I still have a windows 10 on my 500gb SSD. Once Windows 11 booted up on my desktop all my files were gone but my drives were still visible on file explorer and all of the files were there. In bios, my 500gb SSD and 2tb hard drive isn't detected on boot up but my 1tb Samsung SSD is. Windows seemingly ignored me

No Boot, Drives Not detected, Can't Load Win10 Pleses Help!

Until the BIOS sees your M.2, there's nothing you can do. It does not matter if the M.2 is unformatted/unallocated, the BIOS should see it.

1. Suggest that you take the M.2 out, clean all the contacts and re-seat it and hope this is the case.
2. If step one fails. Connect your 250GB SSD back in using one of the SATA port to see if the BIOS recognize it. If it doen't, then it might be something wrong with the MB, if it does then boot up the Windows Installation USB, run diskpart, shrink it at least 40GB then create a partition, Leave it unallocated then install Windows there.

Also try to re-seat all other components such as Memory, Video card etc...

 

Drive Detected in Bios but Nowhere else.

I have 2 SSDs and only one is detected anywhere else except the bios, I have tried a fix but it did not work. Both drives were working, however one has stopped.
