    Cannot initialise new SSD.


    Hello,I have purchased a new SSD and an enclosure so as I can upgrade the SSD C drive in my laptop. When attempting to initialise the disk, I have no option listed in Disk ManagementCannot initialise new SSD. :Disk 2 is the enclosure with the new SSD in it. Following other guides on the internet, I then tried Command Prompt and DiskPart:As you can see, Disk 2 is not listed.I purchased another enclosure, and another SSD and have exactly the same problem, so can rule out those components unless I'm REALLY unlucky.I also tried the same process when connected to my wife's laptop, with exactly the same resultsI have seen

    SSD will not initialise

    Hello,

    When I open disk management, I see my C: drive and also my SSD drive which shows as "Not initialised".

    At the moment, the SSD is connected via a STA to USB cable.

    However, whenever I select the "initialise" option, the screen appears where I have to select the disk and either MBR or GPT, but when I do so and click OK, the screen closes and the little wheel spins for a second or so and nothing further happens.

    Any further advice how I can fix this, please?

    Thank you very much.
