I actually used a Mint live USB, to boot the machine, and then used the DISKS app followed by the DISK USAGE ANALYZER to try to see the SSD - neither of them can see the SSD at all, and when you boot up the machine, the HP BIOS moans that there is no bootable device, go into it's BIOS, and the HP machine can't see the SSD either - it's REALLY dead.
