Can't Run Windows From NVMe SSD, How to Fix This Issue

Question

I bought a new NVMe SSD Transcend TS256GMTE110S, plugged it into the motherboard, and now the problem starts from here. The SSD will show the name in BIOS, but when I want to format the drive during setup, an error pops up that this partition cannot be formatted. I even tried using Diskpart in CMD, but somehow I can select it but not the command clean.

Accepted Answer

When you type clean, the message appears: DiskPart encountered an error: specified a device that does not exist. See the system event log for more information. This is a common error, which may be caused by a bad sector, no permissions to access the drive, mismatching drive letters, and so on. There are several ways you can try to fix it. Based on my experience, I suggest you change the drive letter, check and fix bad sectors, and gain permission to the SSD.Turning to reliable third-party software may help a lot to solve this issue. EaseUS Partition Master, an all-in-one disk manager, can check for bad sectors and assign a drive letter to your SSD.1You can use this tool to:Way 1.
