SSD now a paperweight

Not sure how but one of my SSD's is not working.

One morning the computer was extremly slow so thought I would reboot. When I restarted the computer wouldn't boot to Windows. I unplugged one of the SSDs and it then would get into windows.

I have tried putting the drive in another computer, connecting with USB etc.
It is recognised but shows as a removable drive with no media in Vista Disk Management.
I have also tried a million tools to try and reformat etc. but they all come up saying cannot access disk or write to sector 0 and so on.
I got the data off by using Acronis Disk Director which is fine but I would prefer not to RMA it if not needed.

What else can I try?
The drive is an OCZ Solid Series 30GB.

Cheers
Paul

Hehe, "Solid" indeed?

If it were me, I'd send it off for RMA. If you're lucky, they might upgrade you to a better drive instead of an outright replacement.

Thanks, I think I will have to RMA it as I havnt had any working suggestions from the guys at the OCZ Forum.

I'll hive them another couple of days while I get support for a keyboard aswell and then just RMA them together.

I'm not having much luck at the mo as I already have a monitor off being tested. Maybe its me!

Maybe ground yourself while you are using your equipment?
