Help with formating the SSD

Go to solution Solved by Altecice,

open a command prompt as admin and type in:

diskpart 

list disk

select disk # (whatever number your SSD is)

clean

select partition 1

create part pri

format fs=ntfs

assign

 

 

Dont do any of that those are your system partitions, you cannot format your system drive and expect good things to happen :( You will need to do a full new Windows install to 'fix' your issue.

hi guys i just tried to format my whole SSD because it was full of crap and i wanted to format it but when i did it it turnt out that it was split in 2 volumes 1 of 350mb another of 220ish GB and one with 450MB that isnt formated and i can´t format wich says "recovery partition" how do i format my SSD and make it back to one volume formated?

Try and use Parted Magic to essentially nuke the SSD.

 

That's......unfortunately all I really have, so if that doesn't work, then poo.
