EC2 instance will not start - goes pending and then stops

1

I have an EC2 instance that will go to pending when I try and start it, but then stops.
I don't see any obvious errors, but don't really know a lot about AWS. I set this up years ago and have had no issues until now.

When I look at Volume State, it says Error.

How do I fix it so the instance will start again?

Hi. Unfortunately you cant salvage data from error volumes.If you have backups restore and create new instance. If not, there is no way. https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/ebs-error-status

Thanks, I was afraid of that. This was a micro instance I had been using since 2015, so not surprised it finally failed.

We didn't lose any data, it is just trying to set something back up that I have touched since 2015 that is the issue. LOL.
