Asus UX31E UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
Hi I really need you help!
My ASUS UX31E Motherboard went dead recently and after ordering a new one and installing it the old SSD an ASUS sdsa5jk 256Gb is being very difficult.
I was hoping it might plug and play but this was of course foolish.
It won't boot, and gives an UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME error if I let it sit still for long enough.
I've tried to using windows boot disk to reinstall but this results in 0x8007045d errors and fails at every turn.
I've tried diskpart and can view the volume and partitions but when i try to 'clean or shrink' them i get an I/O error.
That said when I attribute them they are not readonly.
I've tried chkdsk but whenever I try to chkdsk C: I get - you guessed I/O error.
I have been able to lift a dd disk image off the drive with bootmed, which is OK but a bit sketchy.
I've updated the bios to the latest version and still nothing.
All I want to do is wipe this SSD so I can reinstall Windows and get going again.
I'm at my wits end here!! Can anyone throw me a lifeline, I'll give anything a shot at this point.
Thanks
