I found a couple threads that might be relevant in understanding lightning and btc related states
You should be able to mount your SSD and all of it’s partitions, then manually copy your files. It’s not ideal if you have a lot on the disk, or your disk has many partitions. Without knowing your lsblk I can’t hold your hand.
The important thing is that you can start by mounting your drive in Windows. Unfortunately I have not had to use a Windows 11 machine, so I’m going to give some instruction based off Windows 10 and hopefully they haven’t changed it too much.
You should be able to do the following
- press windows key + x (or run and type
diskmgmt.mscand hit enter button) - Click Disk Management
- You should see your SSD appear on the bottom pane on the left hand side, it will probably show a little red icon saying the drive could not be mounted.
- Right click, on it and an option should be to mount the disk
- Do not click any buttons that suggest formatting or deleting your volume This is very important, if Windows cannot mount the drive do not force it because you may accidentally delete everything.
Start here, make sure you can mount your disk, add a volume label to it and you can start accessing the drive. If the drive successfully mounts follow these steps if a volume label isn’t done automatically.
- Right click a partition on your drive
- Click
Change Drive Letter and Paths - Assign a volume label
I want to repeat, do not under any circumstances click okay on any prompt that suggests formatting or deleting a volume or partition.
This thread is relevant but it’s probably a bit outdated. It’s is relevant because a block-level copy is important if you choose to migrate to a new SSD in the event yours is in fact failing. I’m not the biggest fan telling people to install of Freemium Windows software.
Let me know if and where you get stuck, feel free to ask for any explanations here.
