billroperI was going to post on something else altogether, but came upstairs to discover that something had completely bollixed my new desktop computer which insisted on booting into BIOS. After several cycles of tweaking things and poking around, I discovered that it wasn't recognizing one of my mirrored M.2 drives, at least as nearly as I could tell.
Well, I could open it up and see what I could do or I could power it off and power it back on. The latter was easier. And when I did that, both drives popped back up and I discovered that a Windows update had landed and apparently bollixed things up. A few install and boot cycles later, the machine came back to life. This was a relief, because I really don't need to lose this box for any period of time.
Sheesh.
