    Hi Jaclaz. The SSD is only 32GB in size. The problem is how Lenovo set it up. There's an SSD and a HDD. Windows is installed on the SSD and then the SSD and HDD are combined into 1 virtual disk. I've used the Linux Live CD you recommended and have been able to recover my most important files. Some were 0 KB in size due to the file being spread over both drives. But that's okay. My most important files were luckily still intact. I'm actually typing this from my laptop so I'm up and running again. I really liked the Linux Live CD and I can see myself using that for other occasions in the future. Thanks again for your help, jaclaz. Have a good weekend.

    Hello Tripredacus. I'm not that technically inclined in this matter. I did try loading the Intel Chipset drivers into the PE build but the disk was still not seen. The laptop came with Win 7 64 bit. AOMEI PE builder uses Win 10. Do you think that could be the reason its not seeing the SSD? If you have any suggestions what drivers to try I would appreciate that. Although I can access my files I'd like to see if I can get it working with Windows for the sake of understanding this and possible future use. Thank you for your valuable help.

    Hey jaclaz! Here's a big KISS for you. Oh man, I'm so happy. Using the Puppy Linux iso I created a bootable USB stick and I am now able to see my files. In fact I've already managed to copy off a folder to the USB stick as a test. I will find my most important files and then I can reimage the laptop. I'm so relieved I can recover my files. Thank you so much for your very valuable help, Jaclaz. Grazie mille! *bear hug*

    Hello Jaclaz. Puppy Linux sounds right up my alley. I'm downloading it now. Will give this a go and report back. I salute you.

    Hi jaclaz. I very much appreciate your help. It's a laptop with a regular BIOS. I Will try adding the Intel Matrix Storage Manager setup files to the PE build and run it when booted from the USB stick. I have no experience with Linux. Can you point me to a good Linux Live CD?

    Hello Jaclaz. I've used the Windows 10 build that one can download through the AOMEI PE builder tool but the laptop comes with Windows 7. I will see if I can add the Matrix Storage Manger and Intel Chipset drivers now. Thank you for your guidance. EDIT: The Intel Matrix Storage Manage is a setup.exe and I can't seem to extract any .inf files. I have added all Intel Chipset drivers and now building a new PE. EDIT 2: I've added the Chipset drivers but it's still not seeing the SSD, unfortunately.

    Hello Tripredacus, I've created a Windows PE image with NirSoft's Devmanview and have attached the HTML report. I can see it lists the Samsung SSD but I'm not sure what to look for with regard to the controller. Can you please point me in the right direction? report.html

    Thank you jaclaz. In the past I've meticulously downloaded the correct drivers for my laptop, and I have all drivers that came with the laptop. Looking at them I don't see anything that jumps out as a controller for my SSD. I see some Intel drivers that might be useful: - Intel Chipset - Intel Management Engine Interface - Intel Matrix Storage Manager - Intel Turbo Boost Technology Which should I add to the PE build that relate to the SSD controller? I'm now building a new PE with as Tripredacus suggested and hope to have more info on the controller soon.

    Thank you kindly for your reply, Tripredacus. The laptop is very old and the Lenovo site doesn't host the drivers or info anymore. I will give your suggestion a go and report back. Thanks again.

    Was fiddling with the registry and broke my Win 7 installation (Lenovo y460p). Now I'd like to recover some files before I go back to factory default. I've created a Windows PE bootable USB stick with AOMEI Windows PE Builder and it sees the HDD but doesn't see the SSD. The BIOS says it's a Samsung MMCRE32GEDXP-MVBL1. I've tried to find drivers but the only download I can find is from doubledriver and when I download it the drivers are called doubledriver.exe. That sounds a bit fishy to me. In the past I've collected all drivers for this laptop from the Lenovo site but they don't seem to have any SSD drivers. Does anybody have any advise which drivers I could use? Perhaps some generic drivers? I would very much like to recover a few files from the SSD. Thank you very much.
