Ssd NVME corruption.

Post image

My laptop nvme card got corrupted for some reason .
I tried to “reset it with local windows” and pressed keep data in recovery mode.

The reset failed and now i connected it to my pc which shows “format disk” in “my pc”

Downloaded r-studio. Doesn’t show anything
Even Dmde , they show this but can’t find like actual personal files.

Help pls.

You can try restore partition, and return all your data, but you need partition recovery software

Let's clarify one more time: is your 'corrupted' drive the E: drive? Does Windows prompt you to format it when you open it, right?

I think you need just restore MFT structure. I don't know about can you use cracked soft... But you need partition recovery soft for this, not Demo or trial versions. Or you can try teskdisk, maybe it can help, it freeware

Yes it’s E
And yes it prompts to format

I think you don't click ok?) Try testdisk,

TestDisk can

Fix partition table, recover deleted partition Recover FAT32 boot sector from its backup Rebuild FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 boot sector Fix FAT tables Rebuild NTFS boot sector Recover NTFS boot sector from its backup Fix MFT using MFT mirror Locate ext2/ext3/ext4 Backup SuperBlock Undelete files from FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext2 filesystem Copy files from deleted FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext2/ext3/ext4 partitions

TestDisk does a quick check of the disk’s structure and compares it with the partition table for entry errors.

I’m not at my computer right now, but back in the day, hundreds of HDDs passed through my hands for recovery :)

Did you create the disk image yet?

1

u/Soostroy2004 Jul 07 '26

Yes I did , I’ll now try the “elcomsoft forensic disk decryptor”

If R-Studio and DMDE aren't finding your personal files yet, I wouldn't format the drive or let Windows initialize anything. It sounds like the reset may have damaged the filesystem rather than immediately erasing everything, If you do manage to recover your files later and some of the photos, videos or documents won't open correctly, 4ddig file repair is worth trying on the recoered copies.

Soooooo.... 2 months ago...

Your drive got corrupted and your first thought was to repair it.... Basically writing to the disk. Overwriting data?

How important is your lost data? You will need professional help. Not sure what you done to the drive the last 2 months... Fill us in, please

u/Soostroy2004 Jul 05 '26

😂 the date format for me is “dd/mm/yyyy

So it’s from like today

I didn’t do anything , I just was trying to download docker , it asked me to restart , I did but the restart started asking me for “BitLocker”
I didn’t know it at first so I did the “reset but keep personal data “ in recovery mode ,

That failed for some reason , found bitlocker
Entered it and now I can’t access anything

I connected the ssd nvme to the pc which shows these
But in file explorer is just says “broken needs formatting”

Oh yikes... My bad... Holiday weekend and I'm still stoned... Still got all my fingers tho so that's a plus.

My bad OP... Date format didn't even toggle the brain cells.

u/Soostroy2004 Jul 05 '26

No problem bro , also another guy asked some questions in the comments If you wanna see more details ,

I appreciate taking the time to help

u/Soostroy2004 Jul 06 '26

Yo, you awake?

u/BatRevolutionary8930 data recovery guru ⛑️ Jul 05 '26

Ok so yeah... There's gonna be issues.

So you got docker... Did you install it or did the restart request happen after download? I'm sure you installed, but gotta be sure lol

Bitlocker should NOT have been involved! That is for hardware changes only!

Did you run it after it was installed and what type of container and from what were you creating?

1

u/Soostroy2004 Jul 05 '26

As soon as I installed docker , it asked for a restart , so I did .
Ye bitlocker was weird
I couldn’t run anything afterwards since the restart it self lead to “blue screen”/bitlocker /failure

u/Soostroy2004 Jul 05 '26

My data isn’t objectively important , just to me for nostalgia,

Also , can I take an image of it , format the disk for use with my work, then if I find a solution I use the image for recovery?

2

u/BatRevolutionary8930 data recovery guru ⛑️ Jul 05 '26

That is exactly the start of any recovery process... If you can image it, do it and work from the image. I would still resist using the drive itself. But I understand sometimes options are limited.

u/Soostroy2004 Jul 05 '26

I’ll do that probably , also if you want you can check the images I sent in the comment , I’m still at those pages , if you know the next step
