A clean install is always best with only the SSD attached (no HDDs -- attach those after the install), and insure that your bios is set to AHCI SATA mode prior to the install. After the install, drivers, Windows updates, you can run Magician to insure that your settings are optimized.

Are you using the Data Migration tool that ships with the SSD on a CD? Have you tried updating the software from Samsung?

I was having problems when I first ran it from the CD and then finally, it told me that an update was available. After update, it ran without a hitch. Copied my C: drive perfectly from the HDD to the SSD.

The page file can been eliminated by right mouse clicking on my Computer, properties --> Advanced-->Performance-->Advanced the click on the change button.  Unchecked allowing Windows to manage the page file then select no page file. Reboot your PC and shrink the C partition. Then go back and turn on paging, restore points for the C partition and hibernation. Now reboot again.Connect the SSD directly via Sata or via usb.


This worked for me I hope it helps everyone that has the same error code.
