[SOLVED] Cloned C: to Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD

[OddBall144]

Hello

I purchased a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD, used the Clone Migration(SDD to M.2) software from Sunsung, rebooted the PC, changed boot sequence to see the M.2_2 only, disabled SDD on SATA 4, booted into new C: with M.2.

Ok now the issue, thought I would enable Sata 4 again and format the old SDD and use it as a speedy storage device but as soon as I enable it, it boots up but then it takes over from the M.2 and in Disk Management it says the M.2 is disabled because of conflict?

How do I get my SDD back so it doesnt take over from the M.2 and then format it?

I am on an ASUS PRIME-Z270-AR

Thank You

Not sure if its the right way or not but I rememeberd when installing Windows XP, it gave you an option to delete a partition, so I booted from the CD, deleted the partition and yes it worked, I now have the SDD ready to use!
