Hi,
My PCIE SSD drive has been working perfectly for months but today i logged in and now i can't access any files or folders on the drive. when i try i get this error
[Window Title]
Location is not available
[Content]
D:\Program Files is not accessible.
Incorrect function.
[OK]
This is just a data drive but i use it for apps. This morning it looked like windows was trying to do an update so its possible that caused the issue. I was having issues updaing to the the latest windows 10 but i fixed that issue and it did not resolve the problem. I found a reference suggesting to use the Intel SSD toolbox to update the firmware but when i try i get this error
The diagnostics does not work either because it seems like it can't access the drive.
The model number seems to be: INTEL SSDPEDMW400G4
I also tried the Intel driver support assistant but it dosn't detect any updates. I also uninstalled the driver from Windows device manager and rebooted but windows seemed to auto install the driver when it rebooted. I also updated my motherboard bios just in case.
The motherboard i am using is Asrock Z270 Extreme4
I did read somewhere that to check the Hardware Ids of the driver, that if it starts with SCSI\ that it might be using the wrong driver bit this is what windows installs.
I'm out of things to try, any suggestions would be great. What else can i check?

Hello nitro5252,
Thanks for your reply.It seems the system can't retrieve the SSD SMART details either since the report shows no information.Please try updating the drive firmware using Intel® SSD Firmware Update Tool. This is a bootable tool that works independently of you operating system. The ZIP file download includes an installation manual:- https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26491?v=t Intel® SSD Firmware Update ToolPlease let us know the results.Best regards,Eugenio F.03-08-2018 06:52 AM
