Used MX's nvidia driver installer, then rebooted to a blank screen. Running live usb my ssd drive doesn't show up. Tried grub repair, file explorer, install from the live usb, the ssd is gone.
Even if I had taken a snapshot, which in my excitement I did not, restoring it would seem to be impossible.
Please offer some advice on how I recover from this.

I should also add I'v been unable to install the NVIDIA drivers into the live usb as-well. I'm new to video cards and don't know what extra functionality the proprietary drivers provide.
