So I have a plextor 128gb ssd that I bought and used since 2013. I'm using it on my y580 laptop with a hdd combo on windows 10. Yesterday it decided to die on me all of a sudden without any notice.
Need help from sifu sifu sekalian,
1) what can I try to revive my ssd?
2) If it is dead, why so sudden? I was even watching videos, surfing/gaming without any issue the night before. there isn't any symptom like crashing before this.
3) let me know if you need any more information.
Story below:
I mainly use my ssd as boot and only installed some seldomly used software on it. Games, movies, etc are all on HDD.
Yesterday when I'm back from work, I tried to log in my windows, but it hang at the log in page. I always just sleep my laptop, shutting down once every 1-2 week.
After it hang, i force shut down, and when i turn it on, it is stuck at the windows 10 logo with the loading animation in infinite loop.
Things that I have tried:
- hold F4 or F5 when booting will give a constant beep sound.
- use a windows 10 installation thumb drive to try to repair, but all the options are not working.
- restore from previous doesn't work.
- uninstall recent update doesnt work.
- troubleshoot startup problem will just leave it in infinite loop again.
- tried to install clean windows 10 doesn't work as it will just get stuck at 0%, copying window files.
- tried to reformat or delete the drive/partition at the windows installation, will result in hang.
- i don;t think anything got deleted as the file usage is the same.
- around 70gb space left. I didn't fully utilize this.
Now I boot into my hdd ( still have win 7 installed), temporarily can use the comp, can still surf chrome, play games, watch movie.
Here are a few things that i notice on my hdd win7:
- when i try to access the ssd through file explorer, it just tries to open but will not do anything. windows explorer have a loading bar on top and it will get stuck at around 95%.
- trying to right click > properties of the ssd also will give the same result.
- tried to open diskpart will get stuck also, it will open up a new cmd window but won't allow me to do anything in the window as it tries to load diskpart.exe
- the ssd is still recognized in BIOS.
- In device manager is showing my hdd and "Disk Drive", which is the ssd.
