Here's where you need to decide if you want to use the Tool to work on the drive directly to try to fix the table and file structures. There's a good chance your drive just has it's partition table (MBR or GPT) corrupt. if it's hardware/bios-locked, the drive is totally unusableĪssuming your drive is not bitlocker encrypted. If you can see a partition in disk management, at least you can re-use the drive by reformatting it (yes, you will lose data which is something you don't want at the moment).
but since you can see a RAW partition, it's not necessarily hardware/bios-locked coz i have a hardware/bios-locked SSD myself (it triggered a hardware lock when i tried to secure erase it), and if i connect it via USB, you wouldn't even see a partition showing in disk management. Its very unlikely that the ssd is hardware-locked. is it possible to put the m.2 drive into a working computer and boot off the m.2 drive? If everything is RAW, im inclined to think that the drive was encrypted (by bitlocker or a 3rd party encryption program like truecrypt/veracrypt), or it's in a filesystem that's not recognized by windows (linux EXT4 for example). Is it just only one RAW partition on the m.2 drive? usually windows have a couple of separate partitions on the boot drive.
