Corsair F60 causes computer boot to hang....

[silicon]

I was trying to create a linux partition on this ssd and in the process I somehow caused it to hangup the computer during booting. I disconnected and the computer boots normally. How can I fix this drive if possible?

I guess this SSD has oficially expired...replaced with a sandisk 128gb on sale at $60.

Can you still see drive in your OS? If so, try flashing the FW by using the field update tool here, http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100449. If that doesn't fix the problem, I would then find out if your SSD is still under warranty. It has a 3 year warranty, so if you are still within that period, I'd recommend that you take advantage of it and get that SSD replaced via RMA.

unfortunately it is outside the 3 year warranty period. The problem is it was working at which point I tried to change the partition size to set up for a dual boot windows/linux and it somehow did not like it. When i tried to reboot the computer would hang after detecting it. Can these SSD's be hot plugged once the computer is up and running? But notwithstanding that I went ahead and ordered a 128gb SSD on special for $60.

Hot plugging in a sense that you are using hot-plug/backplane bays, then yes that's fine. But if you are talking about just disconnecting the SATA cables while the system is running, then that's not ideal.

See if this method helps, http://forum.corsair.com/v2/showthread.php?t=83608

I found a sandisk 128g for $60 on special. Should have it soon.
