BIBM, Samsung SSD, Samsung Magician, and Over-Provisioning
Posted: Mon Sep 10, 2018 6:44 pm
Hi,
I just replaced the SSD in my Dell Inspiron 13" laptop. The SSD is a 500GB Samsung EVO SSD. Everything works, and I have 3 partitions on the SSD:
C: Windows
D: SWAP (not used yet)
E: DATA
Unallocated (about 170GB?)
Then, I tried to use the Samsung "Magician" software and set the over-provisioning, which showed like 10% recommended (about 47GB).
However, then when I rebooted, I got a popup frim BIBM saying that there were errors and overlapping partitions, and looking at it in Partition Works, the D: and E: partitions showed "E".
I did this several times, starting with a clean SSD (deleted all the partitions except for BIBM), and kept getting the same problem.
Has anyone seen this before?
I am a bit confused about why this is happening.
Thanks,
Jim
