If the drive is in BAD_CTX or ASSERT state, clear the assert first:

b)      NCAT.exe -drive_index 1 -erase_assert
c)      NCAT.exe -drive_index 1 -lowlevelformat  
 
You may need a power cycle to bring back the drive. 
After reaching Healthy state of the drive, please proceed to Firmware, bootloader and configuration update. You will need Configuration manager and NCAT 1.2.0. You can use either Win or Linux version.
