Gemini X45 MSATA Failure

llmabe

It seems my Gemini X45 MSATA died. It acted like Windows 10 was corrupt, so I attempted to do a restore from a system image that I had made just a couple of days before failure.  It would fail every time I tried. I had the image on a 500GB SSD connected to the SATA connection inside the X45.
I then tried to do a clean reset back to factory. That failed also. There seemed to be noting that would work.
As a last resort, I removed the MSATA and installed an empty SSD 500GB internally and put the drive with the drive image in an external drive enclosure.
I attached the external drive and a USB DVD with Windows 10 disk in it to the X45.
After I selected to restore from the image, it seemed to work fine util the very last. It gave me an error code.
I disconnected the DVD and restarted the X45.
I was surprised when Windows 10 started like it always did.
I now have the X45 running off a 500GB SSD.    :lol

could you tell me your situation in detail, not according to the landlord, but according to your own situation

I am the owner of the box.
Situation is this:
Windows splash screen, cog wheel turns and then goes to automatic repair screen.
Repair windows does not do anything. When i select to restart  it goes again to windows repair screen.
If i go to Bios Under Boot options only the usb flash is available. Save and exit returns me  immediately to bios without the beelink splash screen logo displayed.
I am at work at the moment, if this information is not useful  since it is from memory i will try again this afternoon to boot from external dvd a live cd  and i will post again.
If you can suggest something else you are welcomed
