Transfer only the OS (W10) to a different drive

Dang it. You just talked me into cancelling my order on the 250 and ordering the 500... :)

Having a little trouble here - just got the SSD, disconnected all other drives and hooked the SSD onto SATA 0, then booted to a recent W10 install disk (downloaded the latest about 10 days ago).
Regardless of if I set a partition (the entire disk) and format it or not I still get the following error:
"We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files."
Anyone know what's going on? The board is a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P if that info helps-
Edit: After trying one idea after another (and finding out that if I do not have a USB drive plugged into a specific port, the selection to boot from CDROM will not work??? - Kind of confirmed my thoughts of dealing with an antiquated BIOS), I finally tried switching boot order to first the CDROM and the "Hard Drive" second. Got me by that problem, but I am rather dubious at this point as I noted the date on my bios was 2009, and further, why should it all work right now?
I was about to reconnect the other drives and see if there was an upgrade to my BIOS, something I do with extreme caution as I feel it is just inviting Murphy's Law to slap me around some more, but as this seems to be moving forward...
Oh, and btw, when I got the SSD my first thought was "Are you kidding??? This thing is supposed to be a 500GB drive?"Last edited by brucemc777; 10 Apr 2018 at 17:57.

Yep 2TB is the same size and with M.2 PCIe there even smaller about the width of a RAM Stick and half as long. Storage has come a very long way in the last few years

What do you mean, the size of the SSD ? A SSD is 2.75 x 4 inches.
There should nothing on the drive but unallocated space.

I think he possibly meant when he unboxed it, the small size of the SSD and it being 500GB. I know my first SSD I was like this can't be right lol.

Ya, I'm sure that`s what he means :)

He`d probly have a heart attack if he got a M.2
But I (at 1st) thought he meant that it's not actually 500GB in windows.

The danged thing looks more like a credit card than a drive! I once bought a brand new 80MB drive (just a while after the $300 30MB drive). I don't recall how much I paid for that thing, but, and I don't know how old y'all are or how far you go back with computers, it was what was called a "double high". This was because it took up two normal drive bays because it was so large...
Anyway, I want to once again thank everyone out there for helping me. For the time being, all is stable, the new drive is running great, and I even successfully allowed a W10 update to run (Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803), and it actually finished!!! (Well, this morning when it first tried it was stuck at 0% so after an hour I chose to reboot, turn UAC on and set my firewall to be a little flexible, then it installed.)
