Inability to detect or initialize internal storage devices (SSD/HDD)
My Windows 11 system fails to detect or initialize my internal SSD and HDD, with drives not appearing in File Explorer or Disk Management even after rebooting and checking cables. I have already updated chipset drivers and tried different SATA ports, but the storage devices remain unrecognized, preventing me from accessing my files or installing new software.

Restart your PC and press the BIOS access key (usually Delete, F2, or Esc) during startup.
