I bought a new 120 gb samsung 840 ssd yesterday, and today i tried cloning my hard drive to it. Cloning was successful, but it didnt show up ounder boot options in my bios, i could only use it as a boot override. So  I thought it was becouse i didn't format the ssd prior to the cloning. So I tried cloning it later but it said something along the lines of "Windows couldn't complete the formatting of the drive" (don't know ecsatly what it said couse i don't have a english copy of windows 8), tried formatting it later in disk management, but it said the similar thing after it completed 99% of the format. Everywhere i checked it says the drive is healthy, checked it and it had no problems

 

In the bottom picture the 840 is listed as disk 1, and the problematick partition is named (J:). The window says formatting was not successfuly finished.
