    Trying to clean install Windows 10/11 on HP Pavilion cc123cl with Samsung Evo 970 SSD


    Hello,My laptop bricked out a few months ago and I am currently trying to do a clean install of Windows 10 or 11. However, in the Windows Setup section showing the partitions, I keep getting errors saying "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one."I've looked at resources online about deleting the partitions and creating them again, but I get an error code saying "We couldn't delete the selected partition [Error: 0x80070017]."In addition, I've tried deleting the partition using cmd prompt and diskpart, but I get an error saying "Diskpart has encountered an error: Data error

    :)

  2. Samsung 860 EVO 2TB SSD

    Thanks for your reply.

    There is no driver software with the drive. The box only has the SSD and an information booklet. I did go to the Samsung website to find drivers but the only ones there are drivers that
    support Samsung NVMe SSDs: SSD 970 PRO, 970 EVO, 970 EVO Plus, 960 PRO, 960 EVO and 950 PRO.

    Also, the Samsung Magician software fails to recognize the drive. According to page 8 of the installation guide: "3) Magician shows only volumes mounted with letter." Since
    I can't assign a drive letter that is of no use.

    On another message board there is the suggestion to use a SATA to USB adapter which I'm going to try when the adapter comes in on Thursday. After that is third party formatting software.

    Win10 clean install on Samsung SSD 850 EVO

    BLUF: SSD is not listed ubder "Where do you want to install Windows?"

    Steps Complete:

    1. I've create a Win10 bootable install usb.

    2. I connect the new Samsung SSD 850 EVO via SATA.

    3. I reboot PC and verify SSD is seen by the motherboard/BIOS

    4. Begin Win10 install via usb.

    5. Get to "Where do you want to install Windows?" and the SSD is not listed

    Problems:

    1. Samsung does not offer a driver for the 850 on their website

    2. Cannot locate driver elsewhere

    Unsuccessful Mitigations Steps Attempt:

    A. Format & partition SSD via Windows Disk Management, then retried steps 1-5 above....same result

    B. Clone existing HHD onto SSD via "Image for Windows" by TeraByte, then verified SSD contents via Windows Explorer....similar result

    Can you please offer some advice on locating a driver for a Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB drive? Or an alternative method?

    Thank you

    Samsung SSD 970 EVO M.2

    Hi

    I recently installed Samsung SSD 970 EVO M.2 on my Dell Inspiron 3268. Using Samsung Data migration tool, I copied my OS to SSD and wanted to make SSD as my boot drive, but is not getting shown up in BIOS as boot option.

    I can see PCI as loaded in BIOS, can also see SSD in the maintenance of BIOS.

    What am I missing?
