My wife's X25-M G1 OS drive (win 7 pro 64bit) just failed, it hard locked in windows requiring a hard shut down and it never booted again. The bios sees the drive and when it is put in an external usb enclosure, and connected to my laptop, after a minute or so windows explorer will see the drive but trying to explore the disk just crashes windows explorer. Win 7 Disk manager chases its tail trying to connect to virtual disk service when the drive is attached, and intel's ssd toolbox does the same. Looking pretty hopeless, but since it still shows up in the bios and my machine sees it (sort of), I am holding out hope. Any suggestions would be much appreciated - needless to say, as I was the last one to touch her machine before this she looks like she wants to kill me...
