B_Will Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Sorry for the long story but I figure it may help knowing: I've had the Corsair P128 SSD for 2 or 3 months and have been loving it. This morning I booted up the computer and before the OS selection screen came up (at my motherboard screen) the video monitor had artifacts all over the screen. I booted into Win 7 which is on the SSD and it came up fine but with the same artifacts. The video card seems to be bad. I tried the card in another system and the same artifacts appeared. I put an older video card I had in the SSD system and it worked fine, no artifacts. Problem is the SSD won't boot to Win 7 now. I tried the Win 7 install disk to repair it but it doesn't fix the problem. The drive shows up in the repair list but states 0MB. I tried using the Command prompt: BCDBOOT but it's not recognizing a partition drive letter assignment. I booted into Vista and the drive doesn't show in My Computer. I checked the hard drive list in the bios but it does show there. I'm not sure what to try next. I've got critical work related data on that drive and I hope that someone may know a fix to get the drive up and running. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 21, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 21, 2009 I would suggest getting the Data that you need off of the drive then format the drive and re-install the O.S. or if you have a back up or can restore it to a previous time might be another solution.

B_Will Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Thank you for the reply. I tried restore to previous but no dice. Any suggestions on how to retrieve the data from the drive? I can't see the drive when I boot into Vista or WinXP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 21, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 21, 2009 I have not tried any Data recovery programs with Windows 7 at this time so there is not a lot I can suggest other than you might search for an application at http://www.snapfiles.com and see if you have any luck getting the data off you need then you can format it.
