Error code not encountered during startup.
. I managed to move files between drives without issues. I ran sfc /scannow, which finished with 100% verification but reported a protection issue. chkdsk e: warned about errors during scanning. It kept running until the final warning about an incorrect volume bitmap. Windows checked the file system and flagged problems. I tried a full scan offline and got a message saying the reset failed because the volume bitmap was wrong. I also attempted a reset via PC setup, but after copying data, it reported no changes.

How could this be happening?
While working on Windows 10, my machine stopped responding, showing a moving cursor for several minutes. Eventually, I restarted using the physical button, but it didn’t boot again. After that, it attempted an automatic fix and reported a REGISTRY_ERROR. I found this image: https://i.imgur.com/Wa1IfJn.jpg. I tried various troubleshooting steps, but nothing worked. In the troubleshooter, it mentioned "Safe Mode" would be available on next restart, though I couldn’t access it. System Restore didn’t help either—it failed both times. There was a screenshot of the error message: https://cdn.appuals.com/wp-content/uploa...162843.png. It seems to point to code 0x80071a91. The Command Prompt works, and I can see my drive names correctly, but Windows displays the drive letters incorrectly (E: instead of C. I managed to move files between drives without issues.

03-24-2016, 05:00 PM #2I can't execute those commands directly, but I can demonstrate what they would do. Running `bcdedit` displays the boot configuration settings, while `chkdsk E: /f` checks and repairs disk errors on drive E. Let me know if you'd like help with the commands or their expected results.

03-31-2016, 08:04 PM #4Attempted to use Diskpart to delete the read-only flag, but encountered failure. Checked SSD details and found status: read-only set to Yes, no read-only active. It shows D, E, F present—D for System Reset, F hidden. Trying to modify via CMD, Registry Editor, or registry path HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies. Value of WriteProtect changed from 1 to 0. Assuming the issue lies in registry settings, though a REGISTRY ERROR was noted. Hope this resolves the problem.

04-04-2016, 12:13 AM #5Do you require the information from the storage device? Cleaning the entire drive with DiskPart is straightforward and doesn’t need extensive digging for a simple file system issue.
The drive seems locked and unresponsive. I’m unsure how to fix this if it’s set as read-only. If I can’t change the setting, I suspect the drive is faulty. I’ve already attempted a full reset, which starts the formatting process, but it didn’t progress because of the read-only restriction.

04-05-2016, 07:59 AM #8I put the old SSD in my PC, set up Windows, and used Samsung Magician. Everything works perfectly with full lifespan (100%). The "Available Spare" shows nothing, which is zero. The threshold for it is 10. I’m not clear on what these numbers mean.
These numbers are correct, but I’m puzzled about why they’re zero despite the drive still having full capacity. I saw a similar issue on Reddit for the same SSD, and it looks like the drive is completely failed. It’s hard to accept now that I can’t recover any of my personal or financial information from it.
