No.

Can you post a screenshot of the drive layout in disk manager?

 

[dylgri]

sorry am i clicking on the bottom image to delete the drive ?

 

[SpyderTracks]

So you've created a new volume on the drive, you don't want to delete that, it's now ready to write stuff to.

You don't need to delete it, it's ready to write to.

Sorry, without screenshots it's very hard to work out what you're referring to.

 

[dylgri]

it just says this when i try to install it again

it just says this when i try to install it again

That’s because it doesn’t exist. It’s trying to update a game and filer that don’t exist.

in the drive it still showing my old folders i had in it and i carnt delete them. The folder steam games 1 i just created it to try and install gtav and it still coming up with disk drive error

 

[dylgri]

should i try the whole process again from the start

 

[SpyderTracks]

You’ll need to reinstall the games from scratch.

I would also do a full scan with malwarebytes to check for viruses.

Are these games legitimate or torrented?

 

[dylgri]

im tryiing to reinstall gtav and it wont let me

it woudnt let me delete it at the start just came up with these errors

So you're saying that when you right-click on the D: drive in Disk Management and select Delete Volume, you get that Incorrect Function error?

If that's what's happening you need to phone PCS because your SSD is probably faulty.

 

[dylgri]

yeah when i select delete volume it comes up with those errors

 

[dylgri]

i will phone pcs on monday thanks for your help guys

The SSD may have moved, open the chassis, check the screw if it moves or not and in the worst case remove the SSD and put it back in its place.
I had it one this on a laptop and everything went ok after.
If it still has problems, call PCS to explain the problem, the SSD may be faulty

That was a good old slog that one. Some good trouble shooting though so cudos to the op for managing to get through all the instructions

As above, I would shut down fully and re-seat the m2 drive. It's a last ditch, if that doesn't allow you to carry out the commands then it's a faulty drive (at best) or faulty motherboard (at worst). It's most likely the HDD though so hopefully PCS will have it sorted in no time.

I don't think you need to wait to Monday to call though. I believe they are open today
