Pc isn't recognizing sdd after I used todo to wipe the data

[Naer]

I had malware on the ssd so I wanted to clone my other hardrive to the ssd. I wiped the data using todo so I can clone.

What's the solution?

Can you see the SSD in the BIOS? Also I am not familiar with that program; does it perform a secure erase ? ... from what I read SE is the best way to "wipe out" an SSD
if the BIOS sees the drive, are you able to do step 2 here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/91339-ssd-hdd-optimize-windows-reinstallation.html ?

What exactly is "todo?" Can't find any such program. The SSD may have to be reinitialized. Do you have any of the SSD OEM's utilities?

What model SSD is this and is the SSD being detected in BIOS?

Todo is a free backup and cloning software

where do I find out whether I have a oem?

It's a seagate 600 224gb's

Not to speak for CorkyG but I believe he refers to http://www.seagate.com/support/internal-hard-drives/laptop-hard-drives/laptop-600-ssd/ I would try to run seatools for DOS as long as the drive is seen in the BIOS
EaseUS ToDO --- BTW is one of the few free cloning programs I have seen thanks bringing this issue up.

It recognizes my ssd almost fully because I deleted a partition in comp management

But when I use todo to clone, it says it's not enough space. weird

 

[HOSED]

When you look at computer/Disk management do you have any unallocated space?
Also what version of windows are you running and is it 32 or 64 bit?

Problem solved. I just used a different cloning sofware, reflect, rather then todo

Hoo boy! It is To-Do, not todo. Makes a huge difference when searching. 🙂
