2:10 you could of simply converted to GPT by 1 click… how is it a better to use CLI and type a bunch of code over 1 click??
Convert to gpt is safer.
There is nothing wrong there. The MBR format limit is max 2TB. Use GPT only for drives over 2TB. For less than 2TB use MBR.
What u guys there is a better way to do this.
I was annoyed when MS removed the GUI for disk partition. I am a techie and the GUI just allowed you to do it faster and not have to type command after command to do the same thing. I remember that one reason was that some people were messing with it and loosing their data. They should have instead, is make it hidden and use a command to make it available for those that need it.
I could not use the dispart cleaning command. it came back as an error. it said it could not perform the command because of an i/o device error…so now I'm stuck.
Diskpart is useful for deleting volumes or partitions when the GUI won't.
Hi britec😊 so what a good program to check any m.2 ?
Example .hdd is a program hd tune about like that!
To my knowledge you should use the command "clean all" on a SSD (which a NVMe drive is). This ensures that each drive sector is zeroed. The drive controller will still see data on the drive even when using the "clean" command and will affect the drive's performance over time. Doing the "clean all" is basically like using the trim function, it's telling the drive controller there is no longer any data on the drive so it will write to the entire drive space. Yes the "clean all" command takes longer, but is the correct way to ensure the drive controller knows each sector is free of data and can be written to.
nice one, wasn't really sure what you's were talking about last night but i guessed diskpart watching the video, also love cruical drives great product for a great price. thanks for sharing the knowledge.
I have no idea why this got over 2.1K likes. Anyone who doesn't understand it, simply click the like button. Too much unnecessary technical videos and this is one of them. Did you really miss the "Convert to GPT" option? One who needs to watch this video to do that, should never touch it and could damage their whole data.
So what is the advantage of using diskpart compared to simply using the gui here, which does exactly the same thing. I didnt get it.
Couldn't be better timing. My ss just failed on me. 😢😅

This video seems to be targeting people who are not particularly tech savvy (not throwing shade). IMO, I would probably avoid suggesting tools or programs that are unnecessary and destructive.
So in this case, it was obvious the disk was in MBR format, not GPT format. The solution to fix it was to right click the drive in the Disk Management and select "Convert to GPT". Diskpart was not necessary.
Furthermore, you yourself said there was a risk in using Diskpart's clean command. There are legitimate use cases for using the clean command and while likely it won't hurt if used on a new drive that has no data on it, the chances of wiping your OS drive makes it a command I would only use if I thought it was necessary and in this case it did not look like it needed it.
IMO the video is a bit reckless. You have to realize that some people will look at the video and think that they may need to use the command line in order to fix the problem. Some may actually use it here and could potentially wipe the wrong drive. Others may get scared and look to other programs. Just scrolling down a bit I see people recommending programs like Mini Partition Wizard. That example is a legitimate program, but it could have been a malware or fake program that was rrecommended instead and a user that was scared to use the commmand line might think that they needed it when Disk Management comes by default in Windows and can already handle this problem.
I had that error before, turns out the drive failed, no matter what computer I used it wasn’t detected
And it's Really special feature is that it phones home and tells Daddy AAAALL About what you got stuck in that hunk of silicone.
Install Linux!
There's a simpler fix. Search ssd association and download their free formatter and use that. It also works on those pesky tiny ssds we put in Raspberry Pis when they get messed up and of course thumbdrives.
wow, you discover the wheel! again!
04:00 after select disk #
ALWAYS RE-RUN SELECT DISK AGAIN and ensure the select took and the asterisk is now at the desired disk number.
Same for select Volume, Partition, etc… DOUBLE CHECK everything in DiskPart before doing a Clean, Delete, or other alteration to the disk.
I just used diskpart on my empty drive, which had 3 partitions: one MBR, one main partition and a recovery partition. From within the GUI of the disk manager, I could delete the MBR and normal partitions but not the recovery partition. Right-clicking that partition only let me select "Help", there were no other choices. Using the clean command, I got rid of that recovery partition.
Bruh u made a simple task 5hat can be done in disk management instead u used diskpart making like 5 extra steps
What happen to Windows 10 cumulative update KB5041580….it will not install and undo changes after 3 to 4 restarts.
Another good video Bri,is there any reason you used powershell instead of cmd.
Any way I could ask how to set up Wireguard for a Linux 6.4.14pclos system?
Interesting enough, I had this same issue with a Crucial SSD SATA 2.5-inch drive. I contacted Crucial and they gave me the solution in a very reasonable amount of time. It would appear it's not limited to just the SATA drives.
How did it save your SSD? The video title implies it was broken or faulty.
I had this yesterday on a USB stick. I used one of the free partition programs to sort it.
