Right click that J: drive and press Explore. Go check your My Computer afterwards and it should show up.

Or you could try restarting the pc and it should show up if RCoons suggestion does not work.

Try that. At this point, turning it off and on again must work by now.

Try restarting the pc, You could also download samsungs latest SSD software and see what it says about the drive.

When you right click your Disk 2 (J: drive), what is available to click? (Print screen it)

Also, just checking. You didn't right click that F: drive did you? That will have Explore greyed out because it's a system partition. Just making sure you're ignoring that F: drive completely.

The grey block to the left of the drive, where it says -Disk 2, Basic, 232.88 GB, Online-, Right click and click Offline. Restart, Right click Disk 2 grey block to the left and click Online.

As a nuclear option, you could always unplug *everything* apart from your 120GB SSD, reinstall windows (properly, not with a dynamic disk, that means cleaning the drive in CMD during Windows installation), and then plug your drives back in after Windows is installed.

The restart thing didn't work.

Is there anyway to stop the SSD drive coming up as active? could this be the issue?

Only mention it because the way my backup drive shows up and i notice its not set to active and its the only difference i can see.

If nobody else can help within the next few days, I recommend nuclear. Format windows with only one drive installed. Clean your Dynamic disk during the Windows setup before you install windows ( tutorial - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/52129-disk-clean-clean-all-diskpart-command.html), and then install windows on a Basic disk.

I don't really wanna choose the nuclear option....

Seeing as the SSD is new and seeing how you don't want to nuke anything i would maybe consider unpluging all your drives and installing windows on the new samsung SSD then once done you can plug in your other drives and backup any files you need to keep.

Hmm if i can find another option where i can just make my SSD full again i will but this option seems like my best bet so far, thanks.

So what is TeamViewer and how do i use it?

It works like remote access but is much easyer to use and it does not need to be installed.

It basically lets me connect to your pc and gives me access to be able to look and change things without having to leave the home.

You still have access to everything and see everything i do and can even cut me off when ever you want.

All i want to and need to look at is the disk manager page and nothing else.

https://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx?pid=google.tv_ex.s.uk&gclid=CJ3zkqaPjMUCFQkcwwodOTAAqw

Download the program and when you click the exe it will give you many options, i personally always choose to run the program as is so i dont need to install it.

These are the settings i choose when running it.

TOASTED_PIE · Apr 23, 2015

I have downloaded it.

TOASTED_PIE · Apr 23, 2015

Do u have skype though?

Sorry no Skype here as i hate using a mic and do not have one anyway lol.

See my pic above for the options i use when i run TeamViewer.

Once loaded you will see an I'D number and password that you need to give to me but you should send it me in a private message

After talking to the op in a PM we will try out teamviewer tomorrow i think as the op had to go for now so i will update this thread once i have more info

232GB is right when it's formatted, so he should be able to put files on it now.

xorbe · Apr 23, 2015

Try changing drive letter. Try navigating directly to J:\ in file explorer, my goodness.

And no I cant because when I go to computer it still has a "New volume (F

" as a drive with only 98MB.
