i accidentally uninstalled my ssd need help

[[deleted]]

i have ssd with bunch of games installed on it and i accidentally uninstalled it using disk management and now i cant find it, how do i install it again.

Restarting the system should let it pop back up.
You can also "look for changes in hardware", using hardware monitor.
Practically, both give the same result as pulling the cable and reconnecting it.

That doesn't make much sense.

Try CMD
and then type diskpart, hit enter
then type list disk, hit enter.
The device should be listed there. If not, you need to look at the cables.


Edit:
Make sure the drive in question isn't part of Storage Spaces:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/storage-spaces-in-windows-b6c8b540-b8d8-fb8a-e7ab-4a75ba11f9f2#WindowsVersion=Windows_10

(its basically Windows trying to emulate RAID setups using virtualization)
If your SSD is part of a storage space, it is excluded as a standalone drive from the list.

Uninstalled it or formatted it?
Cause windows will detect it once its connected.
Disconnect it while system is shutdown, start computer in that order.
Connect it. Windows will see the hardware then.
If you formatted its gone.
But once you install Steam again all your games are tied to your account forever.

lol i cant even disconnect ssd because the crew head is stripped, i have msi laptop ge75 raider

You shouldn't be needing to unplug it, but if you want to, there are grib enhancing fluids out there that help with stripped screws and such.

Is the driver listed anywhere? If not in windows, in the bios?

How do you "accidentally" uninstall an SSD? lmao

Here is some problem solving things, one of them may work.

1. SSD got ejected, because that SATA port is set to "Hotplug" = Just Reboot
2. Partition was deleted = You're fu**ked, SSD do TRIM (set all zeroes).
3. SSD is set as "Offline" - use disk management and set it to "Online" again.
4. Drive letter was removed, just set a new one using disk management.
5. If the BIOS sees it, hardware-wise its still working and has power. If it was set to disabled, enable it (why it is marked disabled is beyond me there)

If those don't work, only god know what you did.

Confirm it is not your windows partition as the way you worded it sounded like it was on a separate partition, you had a bunch of games installed on it.
So was it a separate partition.
Have you tried system restore?
windows 10?

Look like a laptop that lost disk under a crash and then reenter bios to add it to boot or restart add it again, he will be back, then it happend again, most ppl will not say "accidentally uninstalled my ssd" unless you try swap or change disk boot order, you are not the fist that try fix First boot up order, do note i say look like this.
