I don’t think I changed anything relevant in the bios, I’m always quite careful with changing things there. Maybe I changed boot order to test live USBs a couple times. Reboots are frequent due to system crashes.

Also also, is it possible you have two disks, and grub is on one and your data is on the other? Again, kinda weird question, but it’s a kinda weird situation…

No, only one drive. I tried removing this drive, and it failed to get to GRUB. Plus, the rescue mode on Windows partition on the same drive that boots sees it’s own 200 GB of files, they are definitely can’t be anywhere but on 512 GB SSD.

It appears the time was broken, the logs were new.

Here are logs from the live USB, this link expires in 2 weeks, I will preserve it if you’ll find anything relevant there: https:/termbin.com/975x

I think I tested the SSD-out scenario without live in.

Only USB drive itself shows under by-id. I don’t have a Windows install USB, the windows I talked about is a partition on the broken disk. It does see the Linux partition with DiskPart but can’t mount it or extract files from BTRFS.

LSPCI lists many cryptic names, “RAID bus controller” sounds like the most promising one. https://termbin.com/287u

No, fdisk shows only the drive itself.

I didn’t find any obvious errors in dmesg logs, but again I don’t know much about them. You may check them out here: https://termbin.com/975x

Don’t recall

You mean emergency console image? Yeah, that’s what I’ve been working with. Older kernels also don’t work.

For the second one, I checked by removing SSD from slot, it refused to boot to GRUB, BIOS gave an error. So it’s on SSD. Plus, Windows partition console sees all it’s files, ~200GB.

As I wrote, GRUB with all customisations and rescue modes stored on this drive for both Windows and Linux work fine, so I find it unlikely to be a connector problem. Unless such a problem may lead to part of drive working fine and the other not. When SSD is out of socket, BIOS refuses to boot at all and makes loud sounds.

I already removed the drive, contacts seemed clean. Connecting to another computer is the next thing I’m going to try.

External live OSes don’t see the drive, but some things on drive when it is operating (like GRUB) work. DiskPart on Windows partition sees all partitions.

Latest DMESG logs are several days old, I’m not sure I had this problem back then. Nothing seems to be useful there, standard USB connect/disconnect stuff.

I enabled S.M.A.R.T. in BIOS, it seems it doesn’t see an issue with the drive (PredictFailure in wmic is FALSE)

PhotoRec and TestDisk do not see the disk when booted from live media, only the 15GB drive itself and 804MB loop0.

It’s the second week of me troubleshooting mine

Does Japan not have a functioning democracy? And what’s wrong with Korea?

It is a type of clothing that many women consciously choose and desire to wear. Some countries mandate it, but it is not much less rational than a mandate to cover chest and genitals in christian culture countries.

I don’t know what you’re referring to. Copy-pasting content instead of linking directly to the source is frowned on for numerous reasons.

Pasting a link is even easier than pasting text.

Sure, that’s a secondary and perfectly valid use. The OP of this thread posted an image promoting memes. That is what I criticized.

So, no more memes on /c/memes@lemmy.world?

Calling articles “lazy content” is extremely unintelligent. I’m disgusted that you should say that.

Reposts, not articles themselves. Reposting someone else’s writings from the web as a link is objectively low-effort work that could be handled by a dozen-line script.

Reddit and Lemmy are link/news aggregators.

Maybe they started as such, but now it’s a small part of their scope. I don’t perceive them as such, rather as a general-purpose forum. I go to Lemmy/Reddit to ask a question (e.g. how to repair a thing), voice an opinion, start a debate, talk about stuff, read comics, etc. I don’t recall following a single community that is about link aggregation.

That’s concentrated on .ml instances

So you hate original content lemmyers put effort into (discussion posts, memes, photos) and praise the laziest form of content (reposting articles someone on another platform made)? Do you want lemmy to become a parasitic platform depending on content from elsewhere to sustain itself?

The image refuses to load beyond the upper ⅗ for me, so the alt text was genuinely helpful.
