skeppy Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I have a Corsair Nova 30 GB SSD (CSSD-V30GB2A) which I can no longer boot from. I recieved the no operating system found error after restarting my laptop when it froze. I tried the drive in another laptop, got to the Xubuntu login screen and it froze. From then on, I recieve the no operating system found or the laptop hangs as soon as its powered on. When I attach the SSD via USB, dmesg in Ubuntu reports: [ 343.133162] usb 3-3: new high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd [ 343.150881] usb 3-3: New USB device found, idVendor=152d, idProduct=2338 [ 343.150887] usb 3-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=5 [ 343.150891] usb 3-3: Product: USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge [ 343.150894] usb 3-3: Manufacturer: JMicron [ 343.150897] usb 3-3: SerialNumber: 152D203380B6 [ 343.189535] usb-storage 3-3:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected [ 343.189637] scsi6 : usb-storage 3-3:1.0 [ 343.189720] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage [ 344.190837] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 CCS [ 344.191333] sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 [ 344.196672] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled [ 344.197168] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Asking for cache data failed [ 344.197175] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 344.199537] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled [ 344.200262] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Asking for cache data failed [ 344.200270] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 344.200277] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk I have tried testdisk, gparted, grub-rescue, fdisk, hdparm, smartctl but it doesn't show up. The SATA/USB adapter does work as I am able to boot other SSDs from it. I tried it on Windows 8 however it says it not initialised as shown here: http://i.imgur.com/L8wAUJ2.jpg What can I do?

Toasted Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Have you tried secure erasing the SSD with Parted Magic or something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeppy Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 How can I even do that when it doesn't show up using hdparm or any other program! I want to salvage the data on the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
