Critical Process Died HELP!

[Max_Settings]

My mother was using her PC, when the power went out. When it came back on the PC BSOD and gave the error "Critical process died". It said going into recovery, but never did. So I took out her SSD and put it into my PC. The drive still worked. So I tried to see if I could fix it, but I can't figure out how. I think I have to reinstall windows, but every time I try it says "the drive is locked" How do I fix this?

Just reinstall windows and save the head ache, there might be a block in the hard drive that is mess up but you can try running SFC scanner and check that everything is good.

Like when I go to reinstall it say, "The drive is locked please try again later." Also what should I type in command prompt?

Also I can't even get into recovery mode on her PC, I only can if the drive is plugged into my PC

Interesting never encounter an issue like that... 

 

1. type bootrec /RebuildBcd and press Enter on the keyboard.
2. Type bootrec /fixMbr and press Enter.
3. Type bootrec /fixboot and press Enter.
4. Finally, type Exit and press Enter.
5. The computer should reboot and allow the refresh or repair of Windows 10 to complete.

Any idea why on her PC after the error is says "preparing automatic repair" and then does that forever?

trying repairing it in your pc 

 

[bcguru9384]

plug drive into your system then run chkdsk

but this seems like a firmware issue which means a reflash of the firmware to the drives control board

windows does not do this

get the drive manufacturers repair tools on your working system then run repair on the drive

Never thought that ssd can be locked like a micro sd, how is it now?
