SSD - Install and Transfer the Operating System

googull said:

Nice Tutorial - Unless I missed a follow up post, the tutorial should probably include some details about TRIM under the section "Settings after the OS transfer". TRIM in Win7 should be verified as "active" and proper chipset drivers should be installed to ensure such. Also, I believe there are some SSD models that now support TRIM without the OS making them usable for Vista/XP, etc. Anyway, just seemed like an obvious but important uncovered item from the tutorial.

Open an elevated Command Prompt (run as admin) and paste this command into the Command Prompt window:

fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify

If Command Prompt returns a 0 (zero), your drive supports TRIM and it is enabled.
If it returns 1 (one), the file system has disabled TRIM for your drive. This means your drive's controller does not support TRIM.

Zero bytes is only for drives that have no media or those that are formatted in Fat32 like my drive #7 which is a USB stick.

That is strange indeed. No idea what could be the cause of that.

Might a chkdsk help shed some light on this mystery?

It certainly would not hurt. But I would think that cmd gets this info from the MFT the same as Disk Management or Partition Wizard that you show behind the cmd window. So chances that chkdsk can fix it are slim.
