Need help regaining access to my other nvme ssd

Support
1

Recently, my bios stopped reading one of my 2 NVMe SSD’s. It had Manjaro on it. I reset my bios, and now it’s reading that drive, but not the other one with windows11 on it. When booted into Manjaro, I can still see all the files and applications on the windows SSD from inside dolphin in Manjaro. How do I fix this issue? When I go to boot menu during startup it gives me both NVMe SSD’s as an option but when I click the one that now has the “UEFI” attached to it (that happened after running command below) it gives me a black screen and says input boot drive like it’s not seeing it there. The SSD I boot Manjaro on says Manjaro on it in boot menu. How do I get the windows SSD to boot again?

I ran this

sudo pacman -S os-prober sudo os-prober sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

``

and got this output

edit your post… click this icon in the editor: </> and put the output there…
and you cant boot into your windows, do i understand that correctly?
if yes, you have to repair windows bootloader… search for guides on internet:
how to repair windows bootloader from usb

5

I tried recovery from USB already. I used woeusb to create the bootable. It didn’t even see the drives in the installation part of bootable. Recovery part didn’t work either

6

use ventoy to flash the windows iso… with ventoy you can select to boot it in uefi mode…

7

I used ventoy. It is still not finding anything on the windows SSD. I tried uploading pics of what it was showing me, but the forum wouldn’t let me. When I try to do system image recovery, it says that it can’t find a system image on the computer. System restore says, “to use system restore, you must specify which windows installation to restore.” And when I hit install instead of repair, it says no device drivers were found

8

i have no idea… i was telling you to try to repair windows boot loader from windows usb iso, and search for guides on internet on how to do it? did you tried that?

9

I thought useing the repair function on the windows iso was what you meant by repairing the bootloader, if thats not what you meant please explain it to me.

10

in the iso you select repair your computer/troubleshoot/advanced options/startup repair - if the startup repair doesnt work, in the advanced options you select command promt and use that to repair it - and for the third time, search for guides on internet how to do it
