Hi so today my pc went into sleep mode upon waking it up it froze, so I rebooted and got sent to a repair screen after a few seconds it goes to a different screen saying something like unable to repair and resets. I get stuck in that loop over and over again. I can't even boot off my windows disk when that harddrive is plugged in. I have installed windows on a backup harddrive with no problem, hooked the ssd back up reset pc and same thing happens, I can't get it to boot off the backup harddrive when the ssd is plugged in, which makes me unable to format it aswell. Any help would be appreciated.

Weird that it gets into the repair loop, only way for it is that is booting from the SSD, try booting with a Live OS like Ubuntu see if you get it running, from there you should be able to manually delete all the content in your SSD, can't remember if Ubuntu can format a partition/disk in a NTFS format but if it allows you go ahead with it.
"I can't even boot off my windows disk when that harddrive is plugged in."

Does it at least get to the screen message of "press any key to boot from CD/DVD"?, maybe your boot priority is wrong and is still trying to boot from the SSD instead from your DVD.
 


Changed it to boot off cd with no luck. Yes I get to the screen "press any key to boot from cd" but when I do the loop starts over.
 


Tried both, at this point all I want to do is format the ssd but every time its plugged in I get stuck in the repair loop again even when the ssd is not set as the boot device.
