Pentagon, installed large disk (m.2, but with PCIe adapter) on PCIe. System boots, either with the old drive in the m.2 slot or not.
Either configuration allows access to all files.
With large disk in m.2,, whether or not the small disk is in PCIe, BSOD without capability to go into any of the recovery options.
Also, using either disk on PCIe will boot even though BIOS does not recognize either disk.

Pentagon,
small disk is m.2 slot, BIOS recognizes it, but boot is from large drive on PCIe adaptor according to diskmgmt. Very strange.
