Actually, I tried these steps but now SSD is not appearing in BIOS. ALso, previously BIOS used to take no time in starting up. Now, it takes a lot of time and show that some unknown storage device is connected. I tried that SSD Power Cycle where you connect SSD to power and leave it running for 20-25 minutes. That also didn't help. 😞
