Hi, I recently upgraded my SSD to a larger size, when I first powered on my PC it worked fine, but when windows restarted I was put into windows boot manager, and it gave me the error that no HDD was found (error 2100). but when i powered off my PC and Powered it on again, I was back in windows, no problems. This problem only happens when i restart my computer from the windows interface, not by holding the power button, then turning it on again.


I tried running San-Disk's SSD utility, and it said there were no problems with my device. When i checked the connections from my SSD to the SATA port, everything was fine. no loose connections anywhere in my PC.


I tried anything i could find related to my problem on google:

  • Updated my BIOS
  • Tried to update my SSD firmware
  • Updated windows
  • Ran a full security check


After all of this, I was still running into the same problem... until I entered BIOS through the Lenovo splash screen, this is where my SSD was then detected by BIOS and when I ran diagnostics on it, it was fine. Excited, I restarted my PC through windows (what has caused the problem previously) and I ran into the same problem. I have a few guessed as to what the problem might be, but there wasn't much reliable info on what was wrong:

  • There are 2 separate BIOS's running on my laptop
  • There is a max supported storage on my computer and 512gb is too much (my laptop is a Lenovo Yoga S1)


Is there anything else that could cause my problem, and is there a solution to any of these problems?


Cheers,

-Cap
