Hello there,
So i upgraded my pc hardware. The new mainboard dont recognize my SSD with Manjaro but does recognize my other SSD with windows10. In windows10 i can access the other SSDs (one with manjaro and the other just ext4).
Any ideas what the problem could be and how to fix? I assume the bootsection of the installtion is roasted for some reason. But how to fix? I prefer not to clean install on to the main SSD
Best,
Boot a live ISO, try to manjaro-chroot into the existing OS on the not-recognized SSD and restore the boot-loader. Then try to boot from that SSD via firmware.

So sda(1) is the Linux SSD.
So i
[manjaro@manjaro ~]$ manjaro-chroot -a
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdd1. Check your device.map.
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdd1. Check your device.map.
==> Mounting (ManjaroLinux) [/dev/sda1]
--> mount: [/mnt]
[manjaro /]#
then i (can i limit this update to the importent updates? i have currently very slow internet and its like 6.5gb)
[manjaro /]# pacman -Syu grub
So now i have to choose either the EFI or the BIOS Part buw how do i know what system do i have?
@edit i choose the BIOS part because the efi one aint working. Seems like /boot/efi isnt existing.
But even tho it didnt end in an error the SSD still aint bootable
It seems you have installed Windoze in UEFI mode on an gpt parted disk and Linux in BIOS mode on a msdos parted disk. This is possible but will later-on not allow you to boot from grub’s boot menu into Windoze. So, first you should decide if this is OK for you.
If it’s OK, then redo and proceed with this. If you have errors post them.
Otherwise, I would backup your files on the Linux partition and re-install it in UEFI mode after formatting the disk /dev/sda in gpt.
