My dads laptop did this, the ssd was overheating, not loading even with the windows installer. The installer would just hang, remove the drive installer was good to go.
Is the drive showing correctly in bios? Is it showing at all under any identifier?
If you haven’t destroyed the data yet, what I did to recover all my dads data from an m.2 was to remove the drive and put it in an external caddy but left the case open, put it in front of my open window when it was -20 out (can prolly put it in the freezer for similar effect) then used a working pc (linux in my case) to get the data off thru a file browser, had to pause several times to let the drive cool down as the transfer went from a normal speed to only a couple kb/s.
Best of luck with your drive issue, hope it is not what I had to deal with
