When Windows crashed the last time, I was unable to resurrect it with any recovery methods including rescue CD or Macrium Reflect. The only other option I had available was to boot a Linux CD and that is how I got here.

I am quite sure I mentioned this before, but please don't ask me to find that post.

I understand, finding that post would be a lot of work wouldn't it? Especially if one didn't know it existed to begin with.

Boot the computer with the Puppy CD or USB install so you can run Gparted program.

Start Gparted with the NMVE drive selected as the drive to work on.

Should see a display showing the partitions on the drive.

Let's do a check of each partition it shows.

Right click on a partition and select check.

Then click on the green check mark at the top tool bar. (apply operations)

Is it finding any errors or reporting everything OK?

"All operations successfully completed." No errors, apparently. I was unable to check the swap partition and on or off didn't make any difference.

Nothing to check on a swap partition.
So check will not work on Swap partition.

If checking the partitions produced no errors.

That says the formats are good and there is nothing wrong with the file system on the partition.
