Hi @AKSHATH8,

Welcome to HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

It sounds like your Crucial P3 Plus 512GB SSD is no longer being detected, which could be due to a hardware failure, firmware issue, or compatibility problem. Here’s how you can troubleshoot it:
 

Check BIOS for SSD Detection

1. Restart your laptop and enter the BIOS (usually by pressing F2, F10, or ESC repeatedly at startup).
2. Look for Storage Configuration or Boot Options to see if the SSD is listed.
   • If SSD is detected but not bootable, you may need to reinstall Windows or check boot order settings.
   • If SSD is missing, you might have to reseat the SSD with the help of a local technician.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
