Error encountered while trying to format the SSD.
You're facing a tricky situation with your SSD. It seems the drive isn't properly recognized or formatted in Windows tools. Here are some alternatives you could try:
- Use a third-party disk formatting utility like DiskPart or GParted to format the drive manually.
- Check if the drive is detected correctly by running `diskpart` and verifying the device list.
- If you're using a different SSD, ensure it's properly connected and recognized by Windows.
- Consider creating a bootable USB with a fresh Windows installation to test the drive.
- If the issue persists, contact the manufacturer for support or verify the drive's health.

If deleting partitions with DiskPart fails, there’s no guarantee anything will work—it could erase everything. To verify, open DiskPart in an elevated command prompt. Use list disk to identify the correct drive, then select the appropriate disk and partition. Execute the delete partition override commands in sequence. Replace X and Y with the actual disk and partition identifiers. After removing partitions, run create partition primary, format it as NTFS, and assign a drive letter. If no functional drive is available at this stage, the system is likely non-responsive.
You can utilize free disk tools to create a bootable USB drive. Certain motherboards include this feature built into the BIOS, such as many Asus models. https://www.killdisk.com/killdisk-freeware.htm
