Disk not showing up

So pretty much I was getting a whole lot of memory errors on my laptop as BSOD after the latest windows update, to the point I wasn't even able to sign in when I turned it on to windows. Because of this I uninstalled windows and got a Linux distro that I liked. I booted the distro from a USB medium but when I went to use the installer no disk was coming up under gparted, so I thought it was just a Linux issue said fuck it, and went to just reinstall windows. The issue is, when I go to install windows from a USB, no disk shows up on windows either. I haven't actually changed anything to the disk other than clearing and reformatting it after uninstalling windows so I'm not quite sure why this one doesn't want to show now, please help. The disk is Samsung mzvlq512halu-000h1, laptop model is HP Pavillion 15-eg0xxx. All
