[SOLVED] Kingston SSD won' format

[bambdor1243]

Hi,
I had a windows 10 installed on the SSD but the build failed as I received a message which said that a certain 3rd party app corrupted the boot files. As I try to clean instal windows again, when i click format/delete on the partition on my SSD it won't format nor delete itself.
I've tried formating it with the diskpart tool, it said it's successfull but nada....
Tried with other tools booted by a flash drive again nothing.
So i'm asking for a help or a miracle at this point.

If a diskpart clean did not help, I would run a diskpart clean all -- it is like a secure erase -- as my hail mary play to try and save the drive.

Odd IIRC that's a Windows installation error code?

It seems the drive failed because the kingston tool says there are bad sectors. At least the retailer decided to replace it so im covered thanks again.

The drive tool is excellent for diagnostics, while it is unfortunate that you had to do the extra work, glad to hear that it is now resolved.
