I usually have to, at most, boot up my GPARTED USB stick (what is, how to use is on the web) to wipe the new drive clean. Now with a clean SSD I can clone to it or make partitions in the OS I need it for.
Hi, I bought a gigabyte ssd but I can't initialize it. When I try to do nothing happens. Also try the EaseUS Partition Manager, but the same thing happens.
