So today my SSD fucked up and now wont run windows. It is detectable in the BIOS along with my HDD.
I installed windows onto my HDD to see if I could format my SSD that way but whenever I plug in my SSD windows wont run, it gets stuck on the windows logo with the loading sign constantly cycling. I've tried to run this SSD on my computer and another and when its plugged in it wont allow the PC to run.
This is even when the SSD is disabled as a boot option in the BIOS.
I don't think there's anything wrong with the SSD hardware wise, if I could somehow format it I think it would be OK, is there a way I can format it by USB or through BIOS or get the computer to run with it plugged in?
Also, I do have a windows 10 disc, but that wont run through install either when the SSD is installed. I have also tried a USB.

So let me get this straight:
No matter which pc you connect it to, even if you select a different HDD to boot from, the SSD still prevents it?
But you think it's not damaged in any way?
Either you haven't actually selected the boot device correctly or you're doing something else wrong or the SSD is damaged.
Try booting a different pc up and plugging the SSD in afterwards. You might have to enable hot-plug/hot-swap in the BIOS.

Could you reformat it to mobile then back for your desktop?

Correct, we did the hotplug and the SSD connects and can be seen. It runs at 100% when enabled but we cant format it at all. So evidently the SSD is fucked. Its ok though, we have a warranty on it.
XenThePybroCould you reformat it to mobile then back for your desktop?
no:( SSD simply doesnt want to format or even be opened.

ShooshIt runs at 100% when enabled but we cant format it at all.
What do you mean it runs at 100%?
But yes, if an SSD can fuck with the BIOS, which doesn't even know what a file system is, then it's probably fucked, as expected.

So we run windows of the HDD and hotplug the SSD. Once hotplugged it enables and in the task manager Disk 1 (the SSD) says its running at 100%. and Disk 0 (the HDD) averaged about 10%
