Question Samsung SSD 840 - 0 Volume

[kay1010100]

I have used this 256GB drive for a while now as my second drive, but about a month ago it stopped showing up in file explorer.
So I went to disk management and it sees a disk but it doesn't know anything about the disk.
In Command Prompt the disk shows up as an online disk with a 0 byte Volume.

Could anyone tell me what is going on?

In disk manager, right-click your hard drive, click intialise disk and choose whether to intialise it as MBR or GPT.

Did you check your drive's health? Crystaldiskinfo or HD tune would do it for you.

I think your not getting it.
Its not showing up as a usable drive windows does not recognize it and the bios says unknown disk.
It has no disk letter like C: D: E: ect
Its not showing up in File Explorer no where,
Only in disk management, Command Prompt or as a blank in samsung magician

What about trying to clean or format it through diskpart?

It says no Volume
and if I clean it disappears and when I restart my pc its back with the same problem

Then the SSD is defective.

To be more sure, try the following on cmd:

• diskpart
• list volume
• select volume # (# is your disk no.)
• format fs=ntsf quick

if this didn't work, in elevated cmd try this:

• chkdsk #: /f/r/x (# is your disk letter)

It might take several hours, but if it still does nothing then I'm afraid it's probably dead.
