@hydrian SATA cable? I really can’t figure this out. I just spent another hour poking around. Tried using ChatGPT to help since I don’t know all the boot and disk stuff so well. Didn’t really come up with anything conclusive. Booting from a live session works fine, but I wasn’t able to boot from spinrite to try and check the drive. Any ideas? Thinking I should just get a new drive or M2 SSD.

@abosio PCI(e) bus errors aren't usually caused by bad SATA cables. SATA cables usually cause transmission timeouts and then the SATA controller resets the port once it gives up. This would be true for a bad SATA drive.
