SSD Not accessible, "Dynamic Disk Import Failed"

Anonymous

My (F:) drive doesn't show up in file explorer. I've tried different Sata ports and and the result is the same. Diskpart recognizes the disk and lists only "Import Failed". On the GUI it shows:

This disk was never a dynamic disk, it has always been set to basic.

Device manager shows the device is functioning properly

I've tried updating drivers and using the sandisk ssd dashboard but there is nothing I can seem to do other than offlining the drive, which seems to have no effect. My only other option would be to convert the disk to a basic disk, which would reformat the drive, and I want to keep the data on it.

Are there any other steps I can try?

Thanks,

Mark.

    I've never used this software and am unfamiliar with it. I hope this is what you were looking for, thanks for the reply.

    Please download third party DMDE tool, open this SSD as a physical drive and show the list of partition table.
