No, your SSD isn't completely dead. It may still have some functionality left.

It's not actually setting anything up; everything stays in RAM and disappears when you power down. View it this way: your computer is like a hotel, with Linux as a guest. Nothing it does alters the room, and even housekeeping (rebooting) can't make lasting changes.
You're trying to transfer a large folder to your boot drive in Mint using Gparted. You want to ensure the contents are safely copied without losing data. It's understandable to be cautious with disk management tools.
I tried the process myself. I reduced the size of my boot partition and attempted to move the main partition from the failed SSD to the unused space. Encountered an issue. The "save details" feature isn’t functioning, so I’m sharing a screenshot for clarity. At least I now have more data. But what should I do next? This looks like a metaphorical example—probably most of it can still be recovered here. All the information seems present, just something is blocking access. I used Gpart in GParted to try data recovery, but it reported that no recognizable file systems were found on the disk. What’s the next step?
