Hi, my dad told me yesterday his PC was not running and just kept stalling on start up.
I checked it out and managed to get it started but after running some system scans Windows said there were errors with the (Windows 10 OS Sandisk SSD) drive so I began a check disk repair through Windows. It got as far as the first pass at 95% (33% overall) then it just sat there overnight with no change so I hard reset it and subsequently the system stopped running.
I have taken the SSD out and put it inside another system and tried it with a USB adapter but it cannot be found either in device manager or disk management.
I have seen claims from programmes like EaseUS saying it can recover data or fix MBR of failed SSD's but then when I have looked at the info the recommended steps don't relate to my situation.
Is there anything that can be done to try and initialize a disk that cannot be found and doesn't have a drive number?
If not is there any way to retrieve the data from the SSD?
Cheers for any help.
