Hello, I have a teamgroup 512gb 2.5 ssd. I was using it as as the boot drive but like a week ago I got the blue screen error saying the device ran into an error and needs to restart. From there on I was unable boot from the ssd. I can access the contents of the SSD when I can connect it as an USB. Surprisingly I can boot from the ssd when connected as a usb (from my old workstation only - HP Z400 - BUT FROM MY LAPTOP IT IS NOT BOOTING WHEN CONNECTED AS USB).

When I boot it while connected as an usb i cannot run the task manager and after sometimes i cannot run any app. I have tried every method available on the internet (Easeus, aomei backupper, disk genius, partedmagic, hdderase, hdd regenerator, partition wizard, disk management, diskpart, all chkdsk commands, installing a new OS,,,,,, etc) to format the ssd without any success. When I delete anything on the drive it keeps coming back. I ran Malwarebytes and got these threats:

Kindly help on this matter, I think mainly there is a malware on the drive which has turned the SSD to
"read only" since most of the errors I am getting is the SSD is being used by another program.

Kindly share ideas before I throw it away.

This needs a full wipe and reinstall, not a simple 'format'.

From a different, non-infected system, create a Win 10 or 11 install USB (you didn't state which).

Boot from that, and do a full wipe and reinstall. DELETE all existing partitions, and continue with a blank drive.

If this fails, put this drive in the shredder.
