Windows 11 M2.NVME 4TB is no longer displayed after unsuccessful data transfer

Hello Terry, It's unfortunate that you have encountered such a challenging issue with your NVMe drives. First, it’s crucial to understand that the error "0xC00000E5" typically signifies a fault related to corrupted drivers or improper installation of the device, which may explain your drives' sudden disappearance from your system after failed cloning attempts. Here are some steps you may take to rectify this: 1. Consider Updating or Reinstalling NVMe Drivers: Your system has pointed to stornvme.inf, which acts as the storage device driver for NVMe drives. If this file gets corrupted, this may affect the recognition of the drives. You can try updating these drivers from the Device Manager or reinstalling them. To update within Windows, press 'Windows + X' keys, then choose 'Device Manager'. Locate the 'Disk Drives' option and expand it. Right-click on each NVMe and select 'Update driver'. If it doesn't help, you can uninstall and reinstall these drivers using the same method - instead of updating, choose 'Uninstall device', then restart your computer. Driver installations get initiated upon startup. 2. Check the Drives across Different Machines or OS Try connecting these drives to another machine or running a different operating system to check if it recognizes the drives. This process can help evaluate whether the issue is hardware or software-related. 3. Firmware Update Check if there's a firmware update available for your NVME drives, although it might be challenging if the drives are not branded. Firmware issues can also potentially cause detection problems. 4. Confront Error Codes The error code you're seeing in the event log; 0xC00000E5 usually means ERROR_IO_DEVICE, denoting an I/O error happened while the OS was querying the device. You can try using Windows' built-in CHKDSK tool to check, and potentially fix, this; but remember to make a backup of your data, as CHKDSK can potentially damage data during the repair process. It's also possible that EaseUS Partition Wizard Pro isn't fully compatible with your drives or motherboard drivers, leading to these issues. It might be worth trying a different partition tool such as MiniTool Partition Wizard, or AOMEI Partition Assistant to see if they work more smoothly. If you still experience challenges after trying these suggestions, it may indicate deeper hardware issues. In extreme cases, there could be a problem with the NVMe drive controller or with your motherboard's NVMe slot or the PCIE adapter. Bear in mind that data recovery is often possible; if the data on these drives is essential, consider taking them to a specialist rather than writing them off. It might not be as dire as it seems! Best of luck, and do post back with updates on the situation if you can. Best regards, [Your Name]
