Boot drive inaccessible after successful disk recovery
I recently had a m-SATA drive that died, and I replaced it was an nvme m.2 hard drive and used recovery media to recover a backup of the drive. The process was successful however when booting afterwards I get a boot drive is inaccessible error. I have also created another partition on the drive with a clean install of windows and it boots fine. This leads me to believe that there is no issues with drivers for the drive or anything like that. This seems it would have to be problem created in recovering the disk image, but I have no leads. Any direction would be appreciated.

I am wondering how the restore was done. Keep in mind that rescue media will restore the OS in the manner it was booted in.
IE, if you boot rescue media in UEFI mode, it will restore the image to boot in UEFI mode. If you boot rescue media in legacy mode, it will restore the image to boot in legacy mode.
PCIe NVME drives REQUIRE a GPT layout (UEFI mode) to be bootable.
And, once restored, the bios boot order needs to be checked. It is typically (Windows Boot Manager, and not the name of the hard disk too - which is the legacy way of identifying the bootable disk in the OS)
