Wasn't the mobo, turned out to be a combo between a faulty drive and a fried cpu, all from the latest windows 11 update. It's fixed now, but seeing how many others have been similarly affected is infuriating.

Yeah, it's gotta be a bad mobo. This drive works with no issue on my partners PC, but my PC won't boot to an os at all. Not that Seagate usb and not a freshly installed win11 drive. Running chkdsk on her PC says it's fantastic, chkdsk on mine says it's shoveled and can't be fixed. That really...

Finally managed to get the spare drive flashed and running windows. Took it to the main system and the bios doesn't recognize it as bootable. It does recognize there are drives connected, but that's it. I now have the bios running a check of the new drive and will then have it do a check of my...

Welp, I got my unused NVMe to install 80% of windows before failing with the error mentioned pages ago. Better than failing at 1% though. Been slow going as I keep getting pulled away.

Fun stuff this morning. Running the Seagate usb fails to do anything on my system still; running the same usb on my partners PC fails to detect her functioning SSD, my originally affected SSD, and an unused spare SSD. As for the Linux usb, I haven't gotten around to reattempting that, but will...

Trying to run Gparted usb now, but I've been staring at a black screen for a bit so it's seemingly not working. Either way, I think ima leave it here for tonight. I think I'm probably getting in my way, but am too fired up about this to realize the full extent of my exhaustion. I'll pick it...

I feel like an idiot but you lost me again. What other drive testing software? All I have been suggested to use thus far is the bootable Seagate usb. But I either can't get it to boot or can't get it to recognize drives that other programs can. Still can't boot to anything.

My mistake, it's been a long day lol I misspoke. There is no issue in that the Seagate usb will boot on her PC, but there is an issue in that it will not recognize connected drives even when Win setup does

Seagate USB will not boot on my PC, no matter what I do. When I have it plugged into my partners PC there's no issue. On one hand, I hear what you're saying about Seagate not being able to run likely means a faulty drive, but it's not that the program is failing to run its that it's failing to...

I don't need partitions just yet, I need a way to move files from my backup drive to the backup of the backup drive. Everything I'm searching is operating under the assumption I can boot to Windows

I'm definitely leaning toward a faulty drive as well. Since I'm here, anyone got any tips how to access some semblance of a file explorer so I can try and clear up room for my secondary becoming my primary? I have a 1tb external hard drive for emergencies like this, and it's feeling like it's...

It's less not being able to run it and more I can't even get to the software, though I suppose they're somewhat similar in effect. Unfortunately, that's the problem. I can't get my PC to do a clean install, as mentioned above (I believe on the first page of this mess)

That'd be a handy list of instructions, if I was able to boot to windows. I appreciate your efforts though.

I'm running chkdsk because it's been screaming errors since the beginning, but won't actually do what it needs as mentioned by what you quoted. The Seagate test hasn't been completed because, as mentioned above, my PC won't boot to the USB, so I am long formatting it and starting again. Which...

Crisis averted. I removed her SSD and, when reinstalling, I pushed that thing so hard it left a solid line in my finger. Her OS booted though. As for mine, I have diskpart 50% through a long format of my main drive. Hopefully, chkdsk will quit its moaning after this and do its damn job.
