Hi guys, my ssd had blue screen earlier (windows drive), unable to detect the drive after that. I reinstalled windows on a old hdd lying around, to check the intel ssd tool, drive can be detected again but seems like the disk space became 8mb. Is it pretty much gone case? Using intel x-18 btw.

Seems to be drive password protected when I tried to update the firmware. No such option in my bios though. The ssd tool says unable to communicate with the device eventhough the ssd is detected.

Tried using hdderase 3.3 but did not work due to the password thingy.

Tried the latest which is 3.02 I think.

They suggested wiping using hdderase or parted magic but does not have any pointers regarding the password protected thing. Power cycle does not disable the password.
