Exactly what error-message do you see?

What error-message is produced when you tried?

Hi, thanks for the reply, I got to the bottom of the problem and the SSD is no longer seen by the BIOS, both PCs are 3 months old, seems very unlikely that they would both have the same problem within the space of an hour. 

I have switched between legacy and secure boot options with no luck, quick check of hard drive shows there are no problems.

It is possible, though unlikely, that a power-surge "hit" both computers at the same time.

 

Can you physically move the disk-drive to a different computer, and try to boot that computer from that disk-drive, to prove that the disk-drive really is OK?
