Hello, sorry to hear that. Please restart your server and press F8 to enter the Windows Recovery Menu. From there, you can choose to repair your computer, use system restore, or run startup repair.

I encountered two articles below that might be useful.

Hello, at this point I would say this is best addressed by MS Windows, actually.

Hi, you can check whether your RAID structure is damaged via iDRAC. Apart from this, you can check the boot sequence on the server side and try to change it if necessary. Dell PowerEdge R740 BIOS and UEFI Reference Guide | Dell US

Also, since the server uses UEFI BIOS, maybe you can try EFI repair here. However, unfortunately, there is no guarantee whether your data is damaged or not.  How to Repair the EFI Bootloader on a GPT Hard Drive for Windows Operating Systems on your Dell Computer | Dell US I can't think of any other methods other than this, but if there is something we missed, our community can help.
