Won’t boot from previously working SSD drive was created by Aldenflorio
I have an ssd drive with a a complete Linuxcnc system on it. I recently took it out of the computer, then set up a bootable usb with another usb that is set to install Linux.
I finished the bootable usd and it works well, so I took the two subs out and put my ssd back in.
now it won’t recognize the ssd and therefore won’t boot from it. I am trying to access boot menu to see if that’s the issue but I can’t access it like normal. I have checked all of the sites in the computer and they seem to be plugged in as normal.
any suggestions?

Is the ssd reckognized by UEFI?
If not, check your hardware.
If so, you may boot with a USB Linux,
mount and chroot into your SSD Linux and
install and configure grub.
This happens quite often to me, if I remove the Linux SSD
from my main machine.
Windows is no problem, it is so agressivem it always puts itself into nvram...

This has nothing to do with UEFI or whatever, the drive is disabled in BIOS, not powered (check connectors are fully seated) or a dead drive.

I believe that the SSD drive is bad though it may be. When I have it plugged into the computer I’m using and I load up my good system I can access it and see that there are files in there. So it’s recognized and holding information at least
and nowwwww, when I boot up my usb drive and log in it goes black then back to the log in screen

So now to approach the issue of my bootable usb drive. I did the Ctrl+Alt+F1 logged in that way then did df -h.
it seems like all the space is taken up which would make sense that I can’t log in. Though what do I do about it? I just recently sudo upgraded and updated the system because I thought it would just be routine

see if that makes some space.
300MB is not enough to run a system, it needs at least 500 to start, then it will work even with only 200MB free, but will get sluggish.

Okay I will try that thank you. In the meantime though. Why might it be so full? I’ve never had a system get so full like this and it happened when I did a sudo update. Though this is a very barebones system

USB to small, 16GB is the minimum for a working system installed same as on hard drive, 32GB is preferred.
For a Live system, 4GB is fine.
-
Having said that, do not upgrade (you can do update), or just do a security upgrade on small drives.
For small drives you can do a LIVE version that can save settings and configs, search for "persistent mode for Live Debian" or Mint or whatever you want to use. This will take the ISO size plus up to 4GB of space for settings/persistence, so can be used on 8GB drives.
Get an USB SSD, normal USB drives are way to slow.
