I rebuilt my computer and intended to use the SSDs I owned for a fresh Windows installation. After assembling the PC, I checked the BIOS, which displayed both SSDs (a 120GB intended for the operating system and a 1TB drive) in storage. However, when accessing the USB boot drive for Windows installation, only the 1TB drive appeared. After several troubleshooting attempts, I chose to install Windows on the 1TB SSD. Now that Windows 11 is set up, inspecting my drives shows the 120GB SSD listed but reports a capacity of just 499MB. Is there an issue with this SSD? This was the one I had running Windows 10, and I thought formatting it would be possible during the upgrade.

It's likely it's no longer functioning.

It seems like you're contemplating something. What do you think?
