Local Linux user is idiot, SSD borked

Ok, this is the last cry for help before I just take it to a repair shop. I was being a fucking idiot and decided to unscrew my laptop and take out the NVMe while it was still running. Now I can still run the NVMe and my Windows partition boots just fine, somehow, but none of my Linux partitions work. I tried running a Linux install ISO but Linux mint gives me SQUASHFS errors when I try to install. I am able to get it to work when I boot in grub2 mode, but it still errors anytime I try to install the OS. I'm currently testing with another SSD and it looks like it boots properly. Is there anything else I can do? Is my SSD just borked?

Most likely, I've had an SSD bork itself just by installing a game and Linux couldn't even mount the drive, couldn't format it on Windows as Windows would just freeze then kick the drive off when trying, PC wouldn't boot with it in. so uh yeah.

i think prolly the best way to fix it, if it's possible, is running linux off a usb or something and using some linux tools windows is ass

Pretty sure EndeavourOS has it pre installed if you wanna go Arch route.

also update, i was able to install win11, linux mint, and nyarch into a different SSD so it's fine if this one is borked
guninvalid over coax alliance
but i will be sad to see a 2tb ssd go the way of the dodo :(

Also do a full format not a fast format, will take ages but could fix the issue.

Well it could be an issue with the journal on the SSD chip, which means you'll need to do a full format.
guninvalid over coax alliance
yea ur right
Akino
Akinoโ€ข2mo ago
Yeah you'd have to full format and re partition
guninvalid over coax alliance
but still thats like 1% of the lifespan of the ssd :bcaSad:
