Installed a 1tb Samsung m.2 SSD and tried cloning my HDD to my SSD with Macrium Reflect when I got a permission error, saying I don't have permission to access the SSD. Now, in devices and drives in This PC it says I have "67.0mb free of 96.0mb". Please help, kinda freaking out and don't know what to do. Especially since I "don't currently have permission to access this folder" pops up when I try to open my drive.

Also, there's no security tab in the drive properties. I'm currently running a chkdsk.
 
I would:
install Samsung Magician
and download Terabyte's Image for Windows trial, and try that, assuming Samsung sees a properly functioning drive

I'll try these, thanks. What about the denied access to the drive? It tells me to use the security tab in properties, but there is no security tab..

yeah, I'm "hoping" that Macrium is just having issues accessing, and caused a problem, and that Terabyte can resolve it. Magician should tell you if the drive is ok.
 
are you using Macrium as Admin?

I am. I managed to delete the volume and re-format my SSD and it's back to normal. I'm trying Macrium again. I got the same error message at the start of the clone "You do not have access to this file" but I just clicked "close" and the clone seems to be still running. Fingers crossed.
