I have a Samsung 840 Pro 256gb SSD that randomly come up with a missing BOOTMGR message the other day and then went to an Invalid Partition Error.

I've take the drive out of my laptop and put it into an old desktop to see if i could see it.

Windows can see the drive and correctly identifies it but in Disk Management says that its unformatted and in CrystalDiskInfo it also shows up saying the Health is Good, the amount of hours its run etc as if its fine but at the top on the tab where it should show the drive letter it just says Disk 1

The thing is, if i run the normal hard drive recovery software i have the drive looks absolutely fine, all files and folders are in the correct location and all readable.

Is there a way to 'recover' the operating system so i can boot from it again would anyone know without having a partition or drive letter assigned?

I have the data so its not the end of the world if not but there are a lot of programs on there i dont really want to have to reinstall again.

Cheers

Might be just as easy to run a checkdisk on the drive from another machine. Will likely fix it before messing around with BCDEDIT.
