Samsung 840 EVO SSD 120GB issue

standhere · Nov 16, 2013

Hi

i just bought my first ssd (samsung 840 evo ssd 120GB)
i cutted my storage down to about 87GB and began cloning when it was at 100% it came with the error "cloning cancelled users choice" or something like that and i didnt touch anything
the ssd wasnt detected either it just came up as local drive (s: ) with 0/0bytes on it
if i access the drive as admin all the files are there
i tried to reinstall windows 7 on it but it came with an error too

any ideas how to fix?

update the samsung migration software
delete your ssd partition and try again

try ssd on another system and see if that works

have you used the ssd tool to do a secure erase?? also is the drives firmware up to date?? before you do the clone did your run malware and virus scan. (try a hitman pro scan).

now i have tried to update the software and scan for virus using the hitman pro scan
and again it says
"Cloning failed The process was canceled by the user. 000001[000001]"

Run a chkdsk on all the partitions on the HDD first and then try again.

Disable Page file and Hibernation. Delete Hyberfile.sys from your current C: drive and try again.

Is your existing C: partition that you are trying to clone bigger than 120 GB?

Samsung Migration software excludes the hibernation, pagefile, and other unnecessary files, since Windows will recreate them. If pagefile is disable, it relies on system ram to boot. It will need at least 4GB for it to boot up with out a pagefile.

For your graphic problem it's a simple fix. Go to CCC and open up the Advanced option.
On the left look for My Digital flat panels then scaling options. Slide the thing down to 0% and hit apply.
Had the exact same problem too, so there is that fix.

For your hibernation.sys problem. Press F8 or Insert Windows 7 disc and do a computer repair.
If auto repair don't work, try system restore, if that still doe not work,
then open CMD and type in powercfg.exe /hibernate on
Restart

it gives me error if i try to reinstall windows
and wheni said my windows were messed up i meant that it simply just deleted itself when i restarted so im left with a computer without windows and im not able to reinstall it in any way not on the ssd or hdd so i have no idea how im going to get my pc to work again

Since you have a SSD and other suggest to do a clean install. Just hook up the SSD (remove HDD), boot from your Win7 disc and being the installation.

tried that it said there were an error and that i should check if something were enabled in bios dont remember the exact error but i couldnt see any problems in the bios

standhere · Nov 16, 2013

i just removed HDD and tried to install only with the ssd hooked up and the error is
"windows cannot be installed to this disk"
showing details it says
"windows cannot be installed to this disk. this computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."

also it says
"setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. see the setup log files for more information"

cant find anything about enabling it on the bios

lp231 · Nov 16, 2013

Hook up the SSD to SATA Port 0, then go into bios and make sure your SSD is in the boot list.
Save and Exit bios and try again.
Also set your SATA controller to ACHI

standhere · Nov 16, 2013

lp231 :

I still get the same errors :/

(the ssd were on the boot list and the sata were already ACHI)

lp231 · Nov 16, 2013

Are they're partitions on the SSD?
If yes, clear all partitions and click next to being install.

standhere · Nov 16, 2013

lp231 :

i have no idea (if there are how do i remove them?)

lp231 · Nov 16, 2013

Boot from your Windows 7 disc, at the screen where you got that error before installation, click the advanced button.
And there will be options to remove the partitions. When it's all removed, just click next.

standhere · Nov 16, 2013

lp231 :

dont see it

i go
install now> accept license terms>custom advanced>drive options(advanced)??
if its there i only get
refresh delete format new load driver and extend

standhere · Nov 16, 2013

i think i fixed it by putting the sata to "raid"
