    Question Unable to migrate to an SSD owing to "Device does not exist" error ?

    Thanks everyone. I'll return the M2. The DIGE drive is mine to keep. The seller didn't want it back. I received my 2TB 3.5 inch drive and was able to duplicate my current drive to it. I also eliminated Windows by attempting to duplicate via Clonezilla. It completed, then gave me a Sync...

    Question Unable to migrate to an SSD owing to "Device does not exist" error ?

    I want to apologize for not giving enough detail. I've been working with desktops for a long time and this is the first issue I haven't been able to figure out. I'll reply with this information to the 3 people who asked for the details. Don't hesitate to ask for additional info. I'm...

    Question Unable to migrate to an SSD owing to "Device does not exist" error ?

    Thanks. Yes, I know I'm getting the errors because the drive becomes unavailable. I'm thinking it's a motherboard issue. Though I've never heard of a drive controller developing faulty caps. Is there a way I can tell if this happened? Even better, if it exists, is there a way to reset it...

    Question Unable to migrate to an SSD owing to "Device does not exist" error ?

    They are no name SSD's, though I think the DIGE Green drive may be WD's off brand. I understand the issues with no names, but I find it odd this has happened to so many drives. 2 SATA SSD, an M.2 NVME, and now an M.2 NGFF (mobo manual said it was an NGFF slot, but could hand NVME) While I'm...

    Question Unable to migrate to an SSD owing to "Device does not exist" error ?

    Thanks the BIOS has overclocking set to Auto. Would disabling all of them be a good test? I've been in BIOS and Disk Management so many times, that would be easy for me. I'll even save the current profile (my BIOS allows for 4 saves).

    Question Unable to migrate to an SSD owing to "Device does not exist" error ?

    Hi. Sorry, it was a down arrow in a red circle, not an exclamation point, in Disk Management. After reboot, the drive showed up in BIOS and in Disk Management. I was able to create the simple volume and format it. The volume creation menu was grayed out when the device was determined to be...

    Question Unable to migrate to an SSD owing to "Device does not exist" error ?

    I'll work on the system profile. The screenshots are in : View: https://imgur.com/a/sdd-device-does-not-exist-error-iJgmsfg I'm leaning towards a motherboard issue, since it happens with different types of SSD drives.

    Question Unable to migrate to an SSD owing to "Device does not exist" error ?

    Sorry I left out the details. It's a desktop running an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with 32 GB memory. Regarding cloning, I've used all the tools listed with the same error. Best I can tell is that it happens about an hour into the process. I've tried hot migrations and booting to PE(?). Think that's...

    Question Unable to migrate to an SSD owing to "Device does not exist" error ?

    I've been attempting to migrate my system to an SSD, receiving "device does not exist" error. I've attempted it to 2 different SSD SATA drives, then an NVME M.2, now an NGPP M.2. I've returned the earlier hardware, but I keep getting the error. Also, I've tried DiskGenius, Hasleo, Aoemi, and...
