Unable to format SSD

[Lievre]

After I did a BIOS update, the 2nd SSD in my system stopped working. I wasn't concerned with the data on it so i tried wiping the drive. But every attempt was met with "you do not have sufficient rights to perform this operation" or "windows was unable to format this drive." Even leaving the drive plugged in during start up leaves me hanging at the manufacture logo and wont even let me access the BIOS settings. If it helps at all the SSD in question is a Samsung 860 Evo. For now i am unable to interact with it at all as it just shows up as an empty 0 byte drive and clicking on it prompts me with a window saying "The parameter is incorrect"

What does Disk Management say? Can you wipe it from there by chance? Maybe that's what you've been doing, wasn't really clear. Also, you can try a third party wiper, load it onto a USB and boot to it. I've used DBAN myself to zero out drives, perhaps that might work for you.

I've tried Disk Management, it's able to recognize the drive, but it reads it as a RAW partition and gets stuck on 0% format progress then fails. I'll try the third party wiper

 

Edit: No luck

I tried the Linux method before but no success. I'll try using a third party wiper like the other person suggested
