hansangb Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 So I was updating a surface book, when the media creation tool wigged out on me. Long story short, I see multiple 0 byte partitions on my SSD. this is when I boot into media creation tool for a new install. But other tools Hiren Boot, MiniTool Partition, SystemRescueCD and Acronis rescue disk doesn't see my SSD. What other tools have you had luck with? I've never had to have a vendor fix my computer in 35+ years. But I'm close to breaking that streak. :cry::helpsmilie: hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1

Sometimes, only Linux, or a Mac, can fix it * I would use Linux Mint 19 and make a boot stick, that has ALL you need when you boot into the Live OS ;) Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Sapphire Nitro+ 7800XT - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus XG27ACG QHD 180Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X
