I have a Western Digital Blue SA510 SSD installed in my Asus PC with i7 processor and 12gb ram. I wanted to wipe the drive clean for a new installation of Windows 7 as my backup PC. The drive always operated properly.
I ran gparted to delete the partitions on the drive (old hard drive mentality) and reinstall an OS. After I ran gparted, the Windows 7 install disk recognized the SSD. However, soon after the install process , an error message appears stating that all windows files are not present And to restart the installation. I tried two different installation media and get the same results. I had a spare small San disk SSD and the installation went flawless on it.
Have I damaged the drive or is there a process to restore the drive.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Bob W
