Hi - need some help please!

I have just bought a second Samsung SSD - an Evo 750GB to replace an existing HDD of the same size in a Toshiba Portege R830.

Installation and data cloning went smoothly. Installed and updated Magician - but I'm completely unable to get it to 'over provision'.

I keep getting two messages; "Note: Using a RAW partition may damage your data" and "Please check that the drive is not being used by another process then try again." Have read my way through numerous posts, have tried to see whether any other processes are running that could be causing a problem (they aren't).

I'm at a loss as to what to do.

Any suggestions please.

Okay - now solved this problem. It appears to have been caused by a hidden partition - Acronis Secure Zone. Deleted this - then cloned over - and Over Provisioning is now 'visible'.
