1463481	2019-09-04 02:03:00	wainuitech hi...... I saved to external HDD, everything non Windows OS from the Corsiar Force M.2 NVMe SSD. Created the FAT32 USB flash drive, opened Disk Genius and created the WinPE bootable USB Drive of Disk Genius. Disconnected all apart from the Corsair MP300 and Optic drive. Booted into it and it Loads files... shows W10 Logo on black screen and then opens to BlueScreen of W10 Desktop..for 1 second then closes and get window says "Monitor going to sleep" Tried it 3-4 times, then recreated the Bootable WinPE drive again and got the same results as earlier. I noticed that when the 2nd making of the WinPE bootable USB drive of Disk Genius tha the window showing job completed said that it has been created as UEFI / MBR. The M.2 SSD is GPT. I wondering if the UEFI / MBR has been created because when I made the WinPE of Disk Genius I was doing it from the Win10 installed on the Samsung EVO860 SSD and that drive is MBR, not GPT. seems to be troublesome more than expected.... I beginning to think I might have to resort to Barbarian Brute Force to delete the complete M.2 NVMe SSD one file at a time!	kioti (17360)

Start a win install (boot from USB/DVD) del all the partitions , go from there some things to try for that GPT error www.easeus.com docs.microsoft.com 9949	1101 (13337)

Start a win install (boot from USB/DVD) del all the partitions , go from there some things to try for that GPT error www.easeus.com docs.microsoft.com 9949 1101 hi. I have tried to wipe the drive using the W10 Install DVD and it refuses to do it because its a GPT Partition. I have stated all this earlier here. I cannot Delete the M'2 SSD at all! Because its GPT and protected...and whats more, the M.2 Drive is Faulty..or the W10 -OS on it is corrupted. I have tried Convert to MBR using CMD. Diskpart, and 4 different Partition Managers and they all fail to complete the task. Easeus Partition Master I tried to use again an hour ago and it had to boot to Native mode to 'do' the set task.... it gets to 25% of the 100% and stops saying Error has occurred and due to some Partition...something like that. So, for what it is worth, that Cprsair M.2 NVMe SSD I have is incumbent with an OS -do nothing and can't be evicted or killed forever. All I can do is remove it and bin it. I could send it back to Computer Lounge as it has a 5 year warranty and is only 8 months old/used but I do not know if it is the SSD or the W10 OS ...or the Mobo/BIOS/UEFI that is at fault. Thanks for your advice and the links.... I will check them out. I was expecting the new M.2 NVMe today... yeah more Sods law.... I been waiting for it since 6:30am, it was with Courier here in Dunedin at 10:17am. now in Tracking it says "Awaiting Collection"...I call Courier, tell them that no one has come to my door..its 114 feet away from me in the lounge and doors open for cat to come-go...and no one has knocked on my door... the delivery courier has left a card in my letterbox..... I can't go to depot to collect it because the driver hasn't returned ! I have to wait til 4-4:3pm and call again if he hasn't come back to deliver it...it is a Signed for delivery.... and I know he ain't come to my door and knocked. I reckon he made it as far as the letterbox and couldn't be bothered to walk up path to find which of the 4 paths off the main one leads to house #60. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr!!!!! thanks I go read the links info you supplied cheers edit: Not too long ago I entered BIOS and tried to set it to MBR/ Legacy, and as said , anything I do in BIOS / UEFI and try to save using the F10 key cannot be done...all fails to save,,,I am informed I have NOT made any changes... so is BIOS at fault, The M.2 NVMe SSD or the W10 OS installed????????????? so many poptions to consider cheers :D	kioti (17360)
1463485	2019-09-04 04:04:00	1101, in the pic i add it shows Easeus Partition Master cannot do the Convert GPT to MBR because "Host process for windows services is running" i can click ok to stop it.... or is " Host process for windows services" a virus????????? After pic 2 I rebooting as requested www.google.co.nz	kioti (17360)
1463486	2019-09-04 04:27:00	1101 Ok, following on from last pic in post above, here are some more...the convert to MBR cannot be done :( I think I can safely say that there is no way, Jose, that I am going to Convert to MBR or wipe the M.2 of all data and have a 224GB SSD of unallocated Space onto which I can instal W10. sigh...but thanks for your help, 1101. Much appreciated. Now I will go amuse myself reading up on the "host process for windows services virus"... have to appoint cause somewhere :D cheers	kioti (17360)
1463487	2019-09-04 05:01:00	Im guessing you're someone whos reluctant to give up :) .. so In case you havnt tried allready www.easeus.com "What is an EFI system partition and why you cannot delete it" "Change EFI system partition ID and set it as a data partition" you use diskpart with "SET ID=ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7" I saw someone advise to turn off secure boot in the bios . Try that ? After all this It may just be a faulty drive . That might explain why nothing works	1101 (13337)
1463488	2019-09-04 06:09:00	After reading 1101's post I'm thinking the same thing, There could be either a Hardware fault someplace OR something else thats not so obvious is going on. While waiting for a couple of customers laptops to upgrade I did the following. Pulled a Image of my basic Workshop PC from my server and dropped it on a SSD drive, took about 10 minutes - booted fine- then booted the computer from a CD containing a few versions older of Paragon Hard Disk Manger 15 .?? I think ( YES I have a few different pieces of software that do similar tasks) :D Changed / Converted the Drive to GPT, on reboot totally screwed the boot, no bootable device ( that's what I expected) Rebooted from the Paragon CD, double checked it had converted fine to GPT, (the option was there to convert to MBR if I wanted) , rebooted from a standard Windows 10 1903 DVD, when it got to the partition options, had no problems removing all the partitions to a completely empty drive, and did a complete install.	wainuitech (129)
1463489	2019-09-04 06:11:00	Silly question but have you checked that you have the latest BIOS for the motherboard? Just a thought!	Bryan (147)

After pic 2 I rebooting as requested www.google.co.nz Kioti.... create a Partition Manager Emergency disk and then boot with it. This should allow you to perform operations such as deleting partitions and MBR to GPT conversion. I recently perform the same operation on my Active NVMe. I cloned my SSD (which was MBR) to the NVMe and then booted into the Partition Master Emergency disk. This allow me to select the NVMe and then convert it to GPT took about 20 minutes with 2-3 reboots if I'm not mistaken. It is best not to perform disk operations from within Windows as there are a myriad of processes which will "lock" the disk.	chiefnz (545)
