Intel SSD Dropping Bootable Image

I have a 160GB intel SSD drive.

I had WSE 2012 90% configure and running some servvices for me, RDP enabled, Stablebits drive pool correctly setup, multiple shares enabled domain configuration. Etc. Hours and Hours of configuration.

Came home today and my PC says it can't find a bootable image. The drive shows up, It just can't boot from it.

What should I do now? I'm used to Operating systems trying to at least give me a repaire screen but this thing won't do anything.

Is the SSD bad? What should I do now? Any hope?
 
How can we know what part of your computer caused this?
You should operate under the premise that any drive can break at any time, especially for a server!
Basically every suggestion here in this forum for server builds says that the OS should be on a mirror.
After you finish your installation you should do a backup.

What you can do now is to connect the SSD to another machine and look at the partitions.
Maybe post a CrystalDiskInfo screenshot here.

Yea I wasn't even finished setting it up yet, just moving data off drives in my older server so I could move them over to start the backup images but it broke already! Nuts! my WHS V1 is still running on original hard drive from 6 years ago...
I don't think I would want to mirror the OS drive but back-up sure. Unfortunately that wasn't possible yet, I had just cleared up a 2TB drive to put in for backups but it didn't make it in time.

Hmmm which piece of hardware caused this to happen, yep, that's my concern too, I have been piecing together this server and all of the liquid cooling for almost a year, finally get it up and was very happy with the stability until this happened. Now what do I do? I feel like I should just toss the CPU, motherboard and hard drive and memory, and thus toss all water blocks as well since they won't fit newer hardware and just start over?

Honestly I'd rather spend another $600 than have to go through the WSE configuration again, it is way too involved and time consuming to be worth less than that. I should have blogged how to set everything up because it was real slow going. You want to enable something like RDP for a particular user and soon your installing and configuring several add ins, turning on all kinds of services which involve turning on other services, when involve setting more permissions, it's fing nuts. I swear it makes the server admins jobs at my work look easy.

I'll see if I can pull the drive this weekend and put it into one of my other computers to run diagnostics. I have a feeling it's not going to show anything strange though.
