Re: SSD not recognized by UEFI

I'm sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, I've been hitting this page's Refresh button on Firefox, looking for a reply, and didn't realize this topic had gone to a 2nd page. Duh. SystemRescue has both "xfce Terminal" and "Terminal Emulator," which look the same. I ran your sudo code line and I don ...

Re: SSD not recognized by UEFI

Tried SystemRescue (2nd option: boot and copy to RAM), then "startx" for GUI. GParted Information says "$MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0)" & gives the same Wary Puppy errors, except no "ntfsprogs" request. Check says ntfsresize v2022.10.3 (libntfs-3g) "$MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0 ...

Re: SSD not recognized by UEFI

I found SystemRescue https://www.system-rescue.org/Installin ... ory-stick/, which seems to include a full updated version of GParted and other goodies. That would be more comprehensive, so I think I'd like to use that.

It knew the volume was NTFS and write protected. sfc /scannow said "There is a system repair pending which requires reboot ...

Re: SSD not recognized by UEFI

The SSD was working up until I created the latest problem, so I'm not concerned about it failing. Your instructions were spot on, I kinda blew past that Device > Create Partition Table option, not realizing it applied here. The NTFS format finished up with a Warning icon error message and showed 0/1 ...

SSD not recognized by UEFI

Hi, I hope I'm posting in the correct section. I have a Samsung SSD that my UEFI is no longer recognizing, preventing me from reinstalling Win7. It had 2 partitions: boot and C, both of which I removed with GParted. They housed a corrupted Win7 that is still hung up in a Win7 installation DVD ...
