Hello,
I am not sure this is the correct place for this question, please let me know if not.
I just built a new system and am preparing to sell (or attempt to sell) my old system. I successfully wiped my HDDs using DiskGenius, but now want to wipe my Samsung SSD.
I downloaded Samsung Magician and used it to create a UEFI Bios bootable USB. When I try to boot with that USB, it will not fully boot. It starts, and gets to the black screen with ASRock on it, but then nothing.
The bootable USB drive I created to install Windows 11 worked just fine.
When I went to wipe my HDDs, I initially tried to use Dban. The bootable USB I created using Rufus did not work either, so that is why I ended up using DiskGenius.
When the dban USB failed to work, I bought a new one just in case the one I had was bad. That didn't work either. The new USB is the one I am still trying to use.
I have tried several times to create the bootable USB in Samsung Magician, nothing changes.
I have tried several of the different USB slots, including the one that the windows USB worked in.
I disabled SafeBoot in the bios, suggested by my research online, no difference.
I can't help be feel I missed something, or there is a setting that needs to be changed, but I sure don't know what it is. In Samsung Magician, you have to select the type of BIOS, legacy or UEFI, I always chose UEFI.
In the BIOS, if I set the USB as primary boot with Windows (the new SSD) as second, it tries to boot to the USB, but then just boots to windows. If I list only the USB and disable the secondary, that is when it just sits on the ASRock screen.
Does anyone know what the issue may be?
