Today my wife's windows10 lenovo laptop was not starting

minimally though.
I tried booting of my f32 usb stick and thought maybe I could take a look at the SSD.
But when I start gnome disks, the internal SSD doesn't
show up! lsblk doesn't show it. I looked through journalctl and saw some reference
to ATA1, and I believe some kind of error.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? The SSD is working enough to boot windows and
run various things like file manager, so why doesn't it
show in linux?

largely rhetorical questions for your consideration:
do you have the packages installed to mount/read ntfs? Maybe this is why
you can't see it in gnome-disks and lsblk. I can't remember for sure if
lsblk shows unmounted devices or devices with unrecognized filesystems,
but i want to say "not".
does "blkid" (as root/via sudo) list the disk?
maybe you can use smartctl on the disk and see if it's failing?
