I am going to explain my situation completely. I was upgrading windows 7 to 10 (genuine) on my laptop. The upgrade did not go well. Windows tried to restore itself to a former status and there the problem occurred.
The restore failed too. and ever since then i cant detect my SSD completely. I tried to make a fresh install of windows.
windows installer does not identify the disk at all. After searching a bit over the internet i found a way to diskpart from this screen and the disk is shown as 22gb.
at first i was unsure. so i unplugged the SSD and attached to my desktop computer to see if its ok. The desktop itself could not identify the SSD properly. It asked for a format first hand. I did the format and the capacity was 22gb of the drive.
The SSD is new and I am very upset about this. Is this a hardware issue or can i fix this by some partition tool?
These are the tools tried-
Windows installer tools.
Windows installer cmd diskpart
Ubuntu live gparted
Windows partition manager (on another working pc)

This doesn't sound normal. What was that way that made it show up as a 22 GB drive? – gronostaj – 2015-08-09T11:35:20.547

Please someone tell me the SSD is not lost – shababhsiddique – 2015-08-09T12:33:07.900
I was able to install a fresh windows 7 back on the SSD. but disk size is still showing as 22gb. Its not usable – shababhsiddique – 2015-08-09T12:34:09.663

Have you tried checking the partition manager of windows ? Add some screenshots if you can. I am talking about this screen: windows partitions
