Booting SSD over USB Anonymous 2017-02-26 06:55:36 Post No. 59132878 [Report]
/g/ this sucks. :(

Long story short, my computer exploded from water damage. My SSD made it out intact. I have a SATA to USB cable I used to get the data off, but discovered I could boot my exact copy of Windows 10 off of the SSD over USB, because Acer still has yet to ship me the SATA cable for the laptop I'm using.

I did that for a few days and it worked great. Now the BIOS isn't recognizing it as bootable. It's still perfectly intact and accessible through my laptop's Windows.

Any idea why that would be? How do I make it bootable again?

tl;dr why would a hard drive bootable over USB suddenly no longer be bootable if the hard drive/files itself are fine

Try to reconfigure your bios first. Also your sata to usb cable or the chips on it might have gotten fucked. I recommend getting a new sata to usb cable if tinkering with bios doesn't work.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
