Question Ssd showing up as "Generi Loader SATA DEVICE"

[lezrx]

Today, while watching YouTube, I encountered a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with the error code MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. After my PC restarted, it prompted me to select a boot device. To regain access, I performed a clean install of Windows 11 Pro on a separate drive. However, my original SSD is no longer visible in File Explorer. It does appear in Disk Management as Disk 0 (Online), but I cannot interact with it. Additionally, Device Manager lists it as a "Generic Loader SATA Device."

Can you suggest any solutions to get my SSD recognized by Windows Explorer?

Sounds like dead SSD.

If OS isn't able to detect it and access it properly, then there's no magic words to make it happen.

If you had valuable data on it, better to contact data recovery firm to get your data off from it. Else-ways, if the drive still had warranty on it, RMA it. If no warranty, then scrap it.

You could try a non-windows tool like Gparted to see if the drive is recognized and if you can install a new GPT partition table header.

If your motherboard supports a wipe function (like Secure Erase built into ASUS motherboard's BIOS Tool menu) you could try wiping it and see what happens.

Sounds like SSD is dead to me too.

If it can't be recognized and interacted with in Windows and if the BIOS cant 'see' it either it's most probably toast.

The firmware appears to have "panicked", probably due to bad NAND.
