Samsung Magician over provisioning unavailable for the 840

[Howard Hartsock]

While trying to over provision, the Magician error shows 'not enough space'.
Under the Magician disc drive window there is no text for Drive heath status, total bites written, free space and used space.

Have you updated the magician software?

I have updated Magician to 4.1 I believe that to be the latest version.

did you leave 15% of space unallocated for the overprovisioning?

The first time I used the Magician the error message was there. It is a new built computer& this is my first experience with an SSD.

The drive needs to be a basic disk either unformatted or in NTFS. Run as admin and depending on the OS, in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
