I have an OCZ Vertex 480GB SSD that failed/stopped working properly a week or two ago.
It suddenly just stopped being recognized by windows (booting from my HDD) and, while I could boot into the SSD, it would either black screen or try to repair windows and then black screen.
I tried repairing with my windows 7 OS disk but it couldn't even find the drive so that was a no-go.
Fortunately, booting from a linux mint installation disk, I could find and access my SSD. However, I've encountered a problem. While the properties of the drive say 220 GB are being used, I only can find 21 GB worth of data on the drive. Does this mean the drive is dying/corrupted or could this just be a linux issue in reading the material?
I can open up a good amount of folders but most are inexplicably blank. The other folders will give me an input/output error and not allow me to open them.
Any info would greatly be appreciated.
