Lives in Aus.
Captures photos of nature.
Makes noise with guitars.
Writes software with bugs.
Cooks crepes with lemon & sugar.
Cares about climate action, human rights, digital privacy.

I have a PC with these OS drives:
Gigabyte 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD (Win 10),
Intel 120GB Sata SSD (Debian)

Tonight, under Windows, was editing photos in DXO Photo Lab, and suddenly the screen froze, then changed to this blue screen.

After the PC restarted itself, the NVMe drive is missing from the bios interface and bios boot menu, and the Debian grub boot loader can't find Windows boot.

Rebooting into Debian, and using the file explorer there, the Windows drive doesn't appear.

I suspect an SSD failure, but is that the most likely thing?

Note: I would think if it was just a Windows corruption, I would still be able to see the drive exists from elsewhere (which it seems I can't)

Some photos of the moon tonight, taken with a DSLR and a Telephoto Zoom. Cropped slightly (additional dark sky not necessary).

This scene was captured in Avignon (France). I felt the need to take it because of the way the daylight from outside was falling in the passage way.
I had noticed the whiskered local in the bottom corner, but it was the light and shadow that drew me.
The photo was taken using a Pentax K5 IIs camera and an FA 35mm prime lens, which originally gave me a wider shot than what I've posted.
As it happens, random passer by had walked into frame slightly, so later I decided to crop the person out in a post edit, forcing me to decide on a framing with a narrower field of view.
Cropping had the effect of making me realise the cat was the absolute star of the photo and I'm glad my curious friend was there on the day.

I got lucky with this photo; down at Mornington (Vic, Aus) beach with my Pentax K200D DSLR camera and a legacy 200mm telephoto prime lens. Not long after I took this, the camera batteries went flat and it started raining.
