Internal laptop SSD hard drive is now defective after several blue screens and can't be read out even with an adapter. How can I save my data?

It is now my third internal SSD hard drive, all 3 of which are defective after 5 years. Despite several blue screens my Win 7 went on the laptop after the restart. I should have reacted and saved my data. Unfortunately, stupidity is punished.

Windows does not start anymore, nothing works even with start help. We removed the SSD and connected it to the computer with a USB adapter to save the data.

A window appears to click on "The hard drive or Windows is possibly damaged and needs to be repaired" but it does not do that either or does not work.
When I open "E" System Reserved, the folder is empty
All my data are in data carrier "G" but I can't open it. An infinite green loading bar appears

What did we try? 1.) Boot Windows from the stick and then access the data on it, but also there comes the infinite loading bar. It won't open. 2.) Recovery programs like Disk Drill, Recuva or TestDisk don't work either. Either you can't find the SSD or the loading bar appears again

You can hear the hard drive working normally. So it doesn't make any loud, nasty clacking noises or that it is totally silent. It starts but does not move forward. But it is always recognized

Do you have an idea? I'm really at a loss and don't know what to do next. PS I'm not an IT specialist but a complete layman as far as this laptop world is concerned.

One of them loaded Linux Urbantu onto the stick and this operating system was able to open the hard drive. Should I try it or do you have other ideas?

I'm grateful for any advice. Ps I'm still using the laptop while I'm writing the question with a different hard drive.

There are no clicking noises with SSD. This is only the case with HDDs.

If recovery programs do not work, the only thing left is usually to send it to a special workshop for data recovery.

Since the "data" is often only about scores, it is simply too expensive to save something in such cases.

Linux, on the other hand, can be easily installed on a stick, the necessary programs are available directly from the manufacturer (free of charge). However, a stick Linux is really extremely slow but if you don't mind you can of course try that before you write off the hard drive or send it in.

Remember to save all data from the stick beforehand, if there are any that you don't want to lose.

I just try that and then that's it with the hard drive. It goes in the bin. I have another SSD, so I install Linux on it and connect the defective SSD via an adapter.

… That usually doesn't help with an SSD. SSDs have two types of problems:

Hardware defects
Firmware defects

If you can no longer address the SSD in the PC, it has to become a data saver that can do something with MRT or PC-3000.

A window appears to click on "The hard drive or Windows is possibly damaged and needs to be repaired" but it does not do that either or does not work.

… You should never do or try that. This only repairs the file system by simply cutting off damaged data / branches in the directory tree. So you destroy data so that the PC can boot again.

The chances are slim but you can use https://sourceforge.net/...y-toolkit/ to then create an image of the disk with dd_rescue. If that doesn't work, you won't get any further without special hardware!

I have now downloaded Disk Doctor but how do I open the program?

This is not a program but a live system based on Linux Mint. Take https://www.balena.io/...io/etcher/ to play the image on a USB stick.

Then boot the PC and create an image of the disk with the help of dd_rescue.

PS.: I sent you a PM…
