corrupt Help fixing ssd that got corrupted when power strip switch got hit accidentally

[crazygamerfreak]

This is a bit of a long post because of all the steps I took to try to fix the problem before posting to ask for help.

A few days ago I accidentally hit the power switch on my power strip (the strip is right next to my pc and is easy to hit with one of the wheels on my chair I have accidentally done this before, but it didn’t cause any issues at all) that the pc was plugged into, which corrupted the ssd This started an automatic repair loop. One I got into recovery settings, I tried using cmd to repair it to no avail, I also tried resetting the ssd to factory, but it kept giving me an error saying it couldn’t be done. Later I tried I tried backing up the files on the corrupted ssd, reinstalling windows and restoring them to the new install, which would send me to the original repair loop, once I tried booting to it. (I cant run a backup from my actual backup HDD as it died a month beforehand.) The last thing I did was try using hiren’s win pe environment to run a restore from the same backup, but the current problem happened where it won’t show up in disk or device management. restarting the pc shows a black screen for about 10 min before running a repair loop. I have looked everywhere online to try to fix the problem but haven’t been able to to find any info on my issue. . This is also a prebuilt from cyberpower that I upgraded if that matters.

Pc specs: Kingston 120 gb Sata ssd

Adata xpg 512gb nvme m.2 ssd (corrupted, wont show up in winpe) \

tb hdd (where backup is stored)

I5 8400

Msi rx 580 4g

What you need, is a bootable LiveUSB (or LiveDVD) of a Linux distro. Linux Mint is most Windows like.

From there you can move data from the SSD to the HDD, and do a low-level reformat of the SSD. If it fails under Linux, then the hardware is bad and needs to be replaced.
