[SOLVED] Access denied on newly installed SSD

[RuffRidersEvo]

Hey guys, i just installed an m.2 ssd and for some reason this error keeps coming up.

What i did:

Cloned my current 1TB SSD Sata to the new drive, for some reason macrium originally said that the disk could not be found for some reason but it still seemed to successfully clone itself

macrium said “Disk Not Found” but it was still showing up anyway in windows

Set the Boot drive to the m.2 ssd but it seems to be booting from the sata drive still

hey so i managed to format the new drive and it works, i can now open it, the drive is empty. However whenever i try to clone macrium keeps saying “Dismount failed” and says that another drive is being used

When cloning, target drive has to be unallocated. That means cleaning the drive with diskpart or manually deleting all partitions.
Formatting is not enough.

can i delete the partitions within minitool or macrium?

Minitool partition wizard can do that. Yes.

Diskpart can do that too.

Macrium is for imaging, backup, restore. Not for partition management.
