thank you for posting back so quick with trying to help me out with this situation, ive never had this happen before and the other drive is a very expensive one that is close to brand new also so this really sucks, but this is what it is doing when i do that, it wont let me do that either.

im a gamer and save alot of video to my machine so i really need my ssd to be fixed so you know that drive is the 2tb firecuda gaming drive

 

[SkyNetRising]

I'm bit confused.
Firecuda gaming 2TB is external USB-C connected nvme drive. You can not run windows from external drive.

So you cloned what drive to what exactly? Model names of drives involved - please.
Also list model name of motherboard.

it is this drive here

originally the operateing system was on the firecuda drive i bought a samsung 970 m.2 and cloned the firecuda drive to it which before i did i deleted everthing but windows, the clone went fine i changed the drives in the bios for the m.2 to be the os drive, and when i went to disk management the firecuda dive looked like i showed you

i deleted everthing but windows. the clone went fine...

What do you mean by "everything but"?

What, specifically, did you leave behind to clone over?

[Tuga Drindol]

just window, was all was cloned over, i unistalled everthing first to make the clone faster plus wasnt sure what stuff i wanted on the m.2

it is this drive here

That is not firecuda gaming.
That is firecuda compute hybrid drive. Mechanical drive combined with smaller ssd cache inside.

 

[Tuga Drindol]

im really not sure when my last back up was

 

[SkyNetRising]

Seems like your firecuda drive has died.
Probably it's still under warranty. Get it replaced.

 

[Tuga Drindol]

ok thank you for your time

 

[USAFRet]

How is this 2TB Seagate connected? Internal, external...?

But yes, it looks like it is dead.

 

[Tuga Drindol]

yea it should be its only 3 weeks old

internally

 

[USAFRet]

internally

Last resort, try a different SATA cable.

question just a thought, i have another computer and i have the windows pro disc do you think if i put this drive in the computer used the disc to boot into installing windows, install it than put it into a external case after ( if it takes the install ) than try to format from the external case. it was just a thought, im in no way a computer guru as you are but know a few things. it just popped into my head

If it does not work internally as it is now, unlikely externally would be any better.
