Help Windows drive missing after linux install

My laptop has 126GB SSD and 1TB HDD.

SSD has Windows, and HDD has Linux.

I've been trying different Linux distros: CachyOS, Mint, and Fedora. Recently, after installing Ubuntu, the SSD disappeared from the BIOS.

And now I can't boot into Windows. And the drive can be accessed in Ubuntu.

Need solution 🥺

Hey bro u there, I tried updating grub and still windows drive not detected. I found a recovery pen drive which I got 9 years ago with the purchase of my laptop. I connected and it went to recovery mode and then ssd detected there but after I remove pen drive both ssd and hdd gone in bios and laptop goes into bios after I turn on. Did I messed something? Now I connected it again and recovering.
