Un-formattable space on ssd

[reparto_temp]

Sold a 120GB ssd, formatted it completely and deleted all the partitions, buyer claims he can only access 34GB of the disc. From what I understand, if there is no partition then the disc should not show up at all in windows without creating a partition and there is no way 2/3 of the nand flash will fail whilst leaving the drive operable.

I have enough evidence to take this to the police if there is wrongdoing BUT i have a feeling that the guy that bought the drive doesn't know how to set up partitions...

Any thoughts?

nope it shows up even if there are no partitions and that's normal the fact he found only 34 Gb and that's not a fail he will need to use diskpart command on cmd to fix that , I had this prob many times before

Follow this short paper and the prob will be fixed right away

i guess its my fault, but i dont care as long as it can be fixed.

Thanks for that, I will send you an invisible unicorn sometime next week (seriously, I will actually do it if you give me an address... )

what file system did you format it to? Fat and fat32 dont play nice with larger disks hence the issue with only showing a limited space. so make sure the drive is formated to ntfs

use diskpart command on cmd

I know the issue is kinda solved already, but I take the opportunity to hint at the nifty diskmgmt.msc tool which is a Windows onboard one (simply start->run-diskmgmt.msc)....
