Hey guys quick question.
How bad would a Boot and Nuke hurt my SSD even if I just do it once with just 1 wipe.
I somehow got a REALLY hardcore virus on winshit 10 and it's so bad it's preventing Ubuntu or Arch from even booting to manually wipe it from there. It's preventing me from using the SSD tools from securely erasing it. I need to do a full wipe and not just a reinstall.

your ssd is probably fucked, that's why you can't wipe it

Maybe your BIOS? As a least resort try to flash your motherboard with Coreboot.
Try to install a new table (mklabel)?

Try updating the firmware. If it still doesn't work, check with the manufacturer to see if it has a warranty.
If not, buy a new one.

I doubt it will hurt your ssd. I put my ssd through hell and it's lasted just fine.

Get Parted Magic, boot off it (CD/DVD/USB/whatever), use the Disk Eraser tool, choose the ATA Enhanced Secure SSD wipe option (sends a pulse through all the cells on the drive at the same instant), takes like 5 seconds with most SSDs, factory condition (minus the wear level that can't be reversed).
Never ever fucking EVER do a zero byte wipe on an SSD, it's stupid and wastes write cycles, the secure erase pulse method is how they're designed to be wiped.
