1463511 2019-09-06 00:23:00 Try taking ownership of the drive Corsair MP300 NVMe SSD before wiping it.

Dis-enable Fast Boot then try it before re-enabling it again if you wish.

1463512 2019-09-06 00:32:00 I have done something a while ago when I created a new bootable USB of Winpe Easus Partition Master and it is absolutely ridiculous so I'm not relating the tale here :D Y'all be in fits and incredulous, and of the mind that this guy is a danger to himself and certifiable :D
ciao...I have things to get fixed here. :D

1463513 2019-09-06 00:52:00 I mention a thought I had the other day and it came to mind earlier today. When the 'Freeze up' happened and the BSOD about the drive and the 'exception' error code, it was when the movie I was watching had finished in VLC and I went to close the VLC player... I also was encoding a movie to MP4 in the Vidcoder app and it had 8 minutes of the 2 hours encode time to finish. Vidcoder is not installed to C Drive, it was installed to the Samsung SSD and the movie was in an external drive as MKV with subs, I wanted it in MP4 format/codec.
Well when it froze and the info I am getting about the MP300 being 'used' by another process so I cannot do any changes to it as I have been trying to do...perhaps that 'used by another process' is locked into the MP300 thus preventing my being able to Format/Wipe/Fix it. Just a thought

1463514 2019-09-06 00:55:00 Not going to re-read 8 pages of posts, but have you tried one action -- boot via a Windows DVD, troubleshoot and run system restore to before the problem occurred ? wainuitech (129)
1463515 2019-09-06 02:29:00 If you want to find out where the problem may be there is something you can try. Just did this for a customers Computer. BUT the host PC must have the ability to use hyper-v.

Install macrium Reflect on a working PC, www.macrium.com When installing make sure you select the VI - Boot option. Make bootable CD from Macrium, boot from that CD, make an image of the drive (m.2) then on the working PC Open VI-Boot and add the image, it should boot into that OS, if it does at least you have a working copy of the original drive.

wainuitech...yep I tried doing that at the very beginning of attempts to get the MP300 working. Wouldn't do anything in Troubleshooting, said there is no OS to troubleshoot. I tried Restore first and was told to restart computer and pick an OS to restore., Just tried to use Winpe USB of easeus partition master to try to wipe the MP300 and it says I can't and have to do it in Windows. Have tried to do the wipe or fix several times in Windows and it fails.

wainuitech, ok I will give that a try. I have Macrium Reflect 7 and a portable Technician version of the app. I will use the Installed Reflect 7 version.

hi. I cannot take ownership of the MP300. Reason is that it does not show in Explorer. the MP300 does show in Easeus Partition Master though, and that I cannot wipe or fix or do anything, in both Easeus opened in Widows and from a bootable USB of WINPE Easeus Partition Manager...… it is a real locked up safe as houses SSD. Impenetrable...…..grrrrrrrrrrrrrr :) :(

1463519 2019-09-06 04:27:00 Have you looked under This PC>Manage>Storage>Disk Management. By chance does the SSD show there? Bryan (147)

hi. Nope I not done that but could do very soon. Sorry for late reply. I have just been doing what wainuitech said to do and I have a positive result, in as much as an image I created of the MP300 I can run in Virtual Ware. That at least shows that the drive is operational, I guess :D Now to get it to Boot in the real world.
cheers, I will have a look into what you suggested shortly
