I have a Kingston A1000 480 GB M.2 SSD that came with my PC as the main drive. After a power outage I kept getting "Reboot and select proper boot device..." and tried all sorts of ways to fix that issue, bar formatting and reinstalling.
Once I attempted to format and reinstall via Windows 10 boot media on a USB stick, it turned out I could neither format any of the SSD partitions, nor choose any of them as an installation source (I could select these options, but in all cases it would claim the process completed, but upon reboot kept kicking me back to the format/install guide again...).
Currently have reinstalled on the secondary HDD instead, which I don't find optimal as it is rather slow. However, trying to reformat or do anything to the SSD while logged into Windows on the HDD is still not possible, although I can still access it via explorer.exe and even copy files from it.
Tried diskpart, Disk Management and Partition Assistant, and nothing works. In all cases it claims that the process was successfully completed, but then the disk just reverts to its previous partitions and contents on them.
According to Kingston SSD manager there is nothing wrong with the drive.

Any clue what, if anything, I can do?
