Good afternoon
I have a pc that I put a 240GB kingston uv400 SSD and it was working perfectly.

Today blocked and turned off the pc, I started rebooting and does not boot to windows and says reboot and select proper boot device.
If you connect the disk in another pc says that it is new and not yet initialized.
What can I do to solve this? I have some important things there.


thanks

Hi cliorun.

You should try accessing the drive via Ubuntu Live USB/DVD, to see if that OS is capable of recognizing the partitions properly so that you can get to your files. You could also give it a try with data recovery software: https://www.lifewire.com/free-data-recovery-software-tools-2622893.
Unfortunately, if the drive has failed it would be near impossible to get anything out of it, since with NAND flash memory devices it's not as easy as with HDDs.

Please let me know how it goes.

As already mentioned, it might be difficult or impossible for any data to be recovered, but you could get in touch with a few data recovery companies, to see what the guys there have to say. If the data is really valuable to you, I guess it's worth the try.
As for the drive itself, if it's only two months old, it's probably under warranty and you should be able to get it replaced.

It's awful that you had to learn this the hard way, but it's better to be safe than sorry, so I'd recommend that you have a backup solution from now on.

Good luck!
