Im going to use it for programing (with techs like mongo servers, .net, nextJS ,) and bit of gaming (genshin , Vlorent ,hogwarts legacy in low/moderate settings etc) then I'm going to learn and make small games on UNITY, UI/UX designs and illustrator/photoshop.

Hello guys. I faced to a very stressful scenario recently.

I bought this lexar nm620 256gb nvme with 3yr warranty last month , install windows in it and used as the primary storage for my lap(acer aspire a15 -56G) Then on 3rd of may things start to get freaky.

I ran in to a critical.system failure while writing a readme in github and trying install figma desktop at the same time . IT WAS ERROR 0x5a.

I tried t normal repair but it showed it cannot fixed with a simple repair. So I plugged in my windows installation media driver and tried troubleshooting...repair.It asked me for the bit locker key,but no mater how many times I entered it..it didn't unlocked and returned and error. ' key failed. Cannot unlock with this key' or something. So I was thinking about unlocking it using cmd command so I open cmd while in widows installation(shift +f10) then try to unlock it . It also returned with an error . So I goto 'diskpart' to clean the nvme entirely. but the thing is My NVMe isn't listed in 'list disk'. I stopped that and go for windows instalation.But it didn't show my nvme there in drive list.

I tried loading IRST driver for my pc's model. But it didn't fix it either .I went to bios and disabled vmd.I Noticed that in bios information tab ,it shows HDD 0 as lexar nm620 256 Nvme.Then I returned back to windows installation process. Still the drive not showing.So I checked again in list disk command.But still missing. I tried 'list volume' command and it showed the partition of my nvme but the 'Fs' of the partition was 'Unknown' . After few bios vmd toggles it appeared in list disk command. But when I locate the disk th select command and try 'clean' it returned with the error **'DiskPart has encountered an error: a device wich does not exits was specified'.**I removed the vm and installed widows to HDD drive

Next day I took nvme to the shop where I bought it to claim warranty thinking nvme is broken.but when they put it in enclosure it worked fine. It asked for the bit locker key and with the key it unlocked easily and all my data also there.butwhen it plugged back in to my lap it doesn't appered in bot manu or newly installed window's my files

so I reset my bios to default , set vmd to disabled ,and it actually fixed the invisibile nvme part. Ioad my ubuntu install river and used it try mode then in ubuntu's bash i tried the command similar to 'diskpart' in widows d it actually shows the nvme. But when I try to clean it ubuntu ran in to error and then Karel panic.

I create another new dows installation media.and then in installation mode tried 'disk part' again and in list disk command it start to show the nvme it had 2 volumes.786mb partition was NTFS. but 236gb one was Unknown FS. 'Clean' command still returned the error 'does not exist part specified' Windows installation GUI still don't recognize it

Is my pcle port broken? Or m bios currupted?please help me

Thank you for reading everything I wrote.Iam so sad , dissappointed.I kinda stuck/freezed in both my studies and career due to this issue 😢
