Can you provide some additional context? Where is the disk not detected? What are you trying to do? How is `efibootmgr` related to encryption? ---

Has the hardware failed? The BIOS doesn’t know the disk is encrypted. If the BIOS can’t see the device at all it usually indicates are hardware issue of some sort. ---

It’s ok. My motherboard is a bit old. I should maybe use efibootmanager to delete other entries. I have reinstalled endeavourOS without encryption. I shouldn’t use the sata hot plug alternative.
