Windows 10: Ooops...I think I have messed up my ssd.

OK, totally my bad on this one.

In a dozy state....[note to self - don't mess with computers before the first coffee]

I plugged an SSD into the motherboard SATA power and data cable while the computer was on. Now it is being weird, I have reformatted the drive and tried a test install of Win10 but it Blue screens ( I cannot remember the issue )and won't allow installation....I also tried linux and that came up with installation errors, just to make sure it wasn't a corrupt installation usb.

I suspect I have corrupted some data. The drive is a cheap Kingston 120GB so I am not going to sweat over it too much and no data was lost. The question is.......

Is there a way to partition out the bad data locations or are these thing dynamic? Basically, can the SSD be rescued in some way? The drive comes up in Disk manager with 111GB so that's ok....

I have a test rig I can use to dig into it and run some tests.

Any advice appreciated.

All the best

:)

 

Thinking about Going back to Win8.1


If want to disable IE, still can. However, can't uninstall it like were able to in XP/98/whatever.
Here's how, although I find it useful in case Chrome or Firefox stops working and have to re-download it. *Wink
1. Search for turn windows features on or off and click it in the search results.

• 
  

2. When the app opens, uncheck Internet Explorer 11.

• 
  
  

3. Click Yes on the warning dialog.

• 
  

4. Click OK.

• 
  

5. Restart for the changes to finish.

 

SSD Crucial Bx 100 - rattling/vibrating. Possible?

This has been suggested several times already, and it has been suggested you try to move the SSD, remove it, or even suspend it in your case. Will you please try one of these?

If you don't understand vibration and resonance, please refer to @dorsetknob 's post above. *Smile It has been explained that something else moving/vibrating (even if you don't think they're vibrating they are...), fans, hard disk drives, and anything with a motor will cause some form of vibration at certain frequencies. This can be transfered through your case's chassis and where you mounted your SSD could be reaching a certain frequency that causes it to slightly move and rattle against the case.

We are suggesting you take action and report back..you keep asking questions from step 1...we should be on step 4 by now...that is solution.

Try what has been suggested and report back please. Otherwise all you're doing is leading this thread in an endless circle and the help will stop shortly thereafter.

I did the Diskpart step that SWI2 explained in post #14 and rebooted, but I still see drive D having the system label.
