SSD HD Tune problem

Running it on an OS drive? That message is to protect you from destroying all your data. (I learned this the hard way when HD Tach a while back DIDN'T show that error message).

If not, remove all partitions with diskpart or similar and re-run.

oh so I can't run it on a hard drive that has an OS installed on it?

I'm a newb at this...so I should use diskpart and the 'clean all' command line to erase the drive and then use another hard drive with an OS installed to boot up...then install the SSD as a secondary drive and install and run HD Tune from within that correct?

Yes, run it from a different drive. Make sure you have your data backed up.

thanks!

so earlier versions of HD Tach did not give you that error message when trying to perform a 'write' benchmark and just proceeded to wipe your entire drive without warning?...wow that is crazy

 
HDTach didn't write I don't think.

That warning is so people who don't know what they are doing don't nuke their system drive. It will still nuke the drive if it's not the system one.
