Houston, we have a problem,,

well, its all up and running again, a few hours and still all good,, am scanning the other drives,
tried mini xp off Hirens to see if I could format etc but that wouldnt even recognise the ssd,,, had to use Seagate-Acronis to format the samsung,

just on one of those wim things,,,
ran scannow,,

and buggar me it came back and said it repaired corrupt files back to 100%.....

Hmmm

Hmmm indeed ........................ :(

How about using something like this. Deano :)

Got it, doesnt actually do much thats helpful,, unless I'm missing something..

I thought Samsung Magician would be the perfect utility for upgrading/testing etc your SSD. I'll download it and see what it says about my old Win 10 SSD :)

Ha ha ....................., I already had it (Magician) installed. Seems to be a pretty good utility to set up the SSD to meet varying requirements :)

Ok,, so after running for at least 5 hours (left it downloading at 11pm) got up at 3am (dont ask) to find a bsod,,
ran chkdsk, "Read-only chkdsk found bad on-disk uppercase table - using system table"
stage 1 and 2 ok,
stage 3 examining security descriptors, errors detected in uppercase file

ran chkdsk /f
"failed to transfer logged messages to eventlog with status 50"

"windows cannot run disk checking on this volume as it is write protected"

ran bootrec /rebuildbcd
it found my synced backup on another drive,, but not on C

it completes /fixmbr
I dont have authority to run /fixboot

Is this a failure i can claim under warranty? or is it deemed my fault?

its not starting at all now,,[bigsad]
its saving the log files in my sync backup drive???

Returned for a warranty claim,,
5 years on these... [thumbsupbig]


though they dont actually make 850's anymore,, 860 now[bighmmm]

could be a credit or new 860 [bigwhistle]
