Hi all.
I am using Windows 7 Professional 32-bit for my laptop and I have formatted the 840E so the machine recognizes it as a storage device in Explorer. When I open up Samsung Magician, I'm greeted with the error:
'Magician was unable to find a Samsung SSD connected to your system. Some Magician features may not work correctly.'
When I click the drop down menu of storage devices, I find that the SSD is shown, listed as 'HDD USB Device (232.88 GB)' So it is indeed recognizing the storage device, but not as the 840E.
I'm not entirely sure where to go next. Initially I was planning to do a fresh install, but since I no longer possess a Windows 7 upgrade disk from Windows Vista, I am unable to do that. I need to be able to migrate the data from my HDD to my SSD.
