As suggested here, I got a new Samsung EVO 850 SSD drive and some new RAM. I installed them to day and all looks good. The RAM is acknowledged and disk utility sees the disk. All that's left is to format it and then I can clone from the external drive I've been using to the new EVO, right? Wrong.
I can't format the disk. I keep getting the message "File system formatter failed" I successfully formatted it as a DOS disk, but I've tried everything I can think of and read of (running disk repair, using a terminal command to try to format and no luck.) I've read with an external SATA to USB it might work, but I don't have one and it will take a while to get one here.
Any ideas for work arounds?
