Brand New SSD stuck on Format step, now in RAW File system? HELP!
Hi all,
Read other threads but different to my situation, so am posting for help.
Brand new AMD Radeon R7 SSD, 240GB, from Newegg. Never on external enclosure or such like. Put it on my Case's SATA dock, Disk Management saw it, went to add 'New Simple Volume", did so, and at last step, to do quick format to NTFS, it hangs!
Tried to cancel format, could not, then hung up Disk Mngmnt; exited, tried again, same. And shows as RAW File System...
Then, decided to try Diskpart, so used Elevated CMD and did the Clean, then Create Partition Primary, then, Selected it and made it Active...so far so good...then, went to format fs=ntfs quick......and shows 0 percent completed...and stays there!!
Did I royally mess this up? Or did I get a DOA drive?
Pic attached from Disk Mgmnt...help very appreciated...or do I just RMA?
Thanks,
