   Appart ftom you confusing abbriviations... NUC HO G4.....so computers right?   
   Cannot get in BIOS? what does the manual tell you, F12 F10 DEL check it out.   
   First thing I would do is somehow COPY the files you need to a safe place.   
   Then try to fix the bootsector of the original SSD if it works   
   Then clonzilla
