omidelf · Jul 9, 2013

[first off sorry if I cant speak English very well]

I Recently installed windows 8 , and in the middle of installation , when u have to choose which drive you want your windows to be installed , I choosed my SSD [ I have 3 hard , 2 of them is sata2 and one of them is ssd] and formatted it but after the format windows gave an error but I choose the SSD anyway because the size of it got all free , and when I pressed install , it said windows cannot format this drive , so I choosed one of my sata2 HHD , but now after installing windows 8 , windows wont open some of my drives (including my ssd drive) and show this error :

Open a command prompt as an administrator
Type- chkdsk D: /f /r ( 'D' signifies the affected Drive).

Do you have data you need off the old drive? If not I would use diskpart to format the disk.
1.)Go to an administrative command prompt
2.) Type Diskpart
3.) list disk (Find the corresponding number of your disk)
4.) select disk 3 3 = number of disk you need to format
5.) clean
6.) create partition primary
7.) select partition 1
8.) format fs=exfat or fs=ntfs depending on your preference
9.) active
10.) assign

Flash the latest firmware on your motherboard. Also download the latest driver for your RAID controller.

How To Flash Latest Firmware On My Motherboard ?!

and where can I download my last RAID controller !?
(I don't even know what raid controller and firmware is !)

Temp_Username · Jul 10, 2013

Give me the make and model of the PC if it is factory made or the motherboard if the PC is custom made. I'll send you a link to the software you will need to download.

Go down a bit to the BIOS and find this one

ok I installed the new bios (2.80) and I downloaded every driver on the top of the page ( but I could not install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver because when i pressed the install it said that my computer doesn't have the minimum requirement)

what should i do now ?

Temp_Username · Jul 10, 2013

Try to run diskpart again. If that does not work it appears the manufacturer has not made drivers for windows 8 on this motherboard. You might have to go back to windows 7....

it gave the same error ( data error , crc )

but why I cant even format my ssd with disk management ? does that mean my ssd is broken ?

Temp_Username · Jul 11, 2013

More than likely your ssd is broken. We tried pretty much everything else.
