What do you think the problem is? This is new computer with all new components.Įdited by PC Genie, 06 February 2016 - 04:55 PM. Maybe there's something missing in the installation instructions. I've seen instructional videos on YouTube for the installation and I have repeatedly followed their instructions, but there is always an installation error.
#SAMSUNG SECURE ERASE FROZEN STATE INSTALL#
I don't understand why I keep getting errors when I install FreeNAS. Do I install Windows first then install FreeNAS or do I install FreeNAS onto an empty harddrive? It seems that FreeNAS is a Linux codes program and may not get virus or have constant miscellaneous program updates. I would actually prefer to use FreeNAS with it's plugins.

However, Windows always has something to update and these media servers are always getting disrupted.
#SAMSUNG SECURE ERASE FROZEN STATE WINDOWS 8.1#
After getting exhausted after several attempts at installing FreeNAS, I just installed Windows 8.1 and I've been using Emby and Plex. I tried to install FreeNAS, but I kept getting errors. I did however discover that the motherboard's bios has a secure erase feature built into it, so I tried that and it worked. This did not make any difference with the M.2 card and I kept getting the same error about the SSD being frozen. I flipped over the motherboard, turned on the power and went through the secure erase proceedure by pulling the M.2 card out and then re-installing it. So I re-installed the power supply and then removed the motherboard. Well, I removed the power supply to access the M.2 card but the card was not accessable. The secure erase process requires me to disconnect the power from the card only and not turn off the power to the computer. This is why it is so difficult to do a secure erase on the M.2 card that is physically located on the back side of the MB that is located just above the power supply. I had to learn where to install it by talking to the computer sales person at the store where I purchased it.

The MB manual does not properly show how to insert it, nor does it explain correctly where to put it. I have physically seen where the card is to be placed and I placed it there. He placed the M.2 card into the slot on the backside of the MB and showed me how to insert the M.2 card into it. He took the new M.2 card out of its package and looked for the slot to insert it, but then he turned over the MB and found the slot. While I was there, I thought to purchase the M.2 card and I told the sales person that the MB manual said to install it on the top side of the MB. I found a local computer store (47 miles away), where I could walk in and purchase it. I first purchased a motherboard from however, I couldn't get it to work and I took it to computer repair who reported that one of the memory slots didn't work. Once the operation is complete, hit the ‘Esc’ key to exit the DOS environment and power down your system. Continue with the prompts by pressing the ‘Y’ key until Secure Erase is finished. Once the command is executed, you will be brought back to the FreeDOS Utility to continue onward. If that command yields a distorted screen try segui0 /s (type a space then /s). If you are placed into a black DOS screen Samsung SECERASE with a blinking cursor, you need to enter the syntax command ‘SEGUI0’ (that is a zero). After the Power Cycle has been completed, the program will allow you to continue. If you receive a message saying that your drive is in a “frozen state”, you will have to perform a Power Cycle (which is disconnecting the SSD from both data and power ports, waiting 3 – 5 seconds, and reconnecting the drive to the ports again). At that point the application will scan for your SSD and allow you to choose it once scanning is complete. You should enter Samsung SSD Secure Erase Utility, will display a warning message. Power on your machine and ensure to boot from the Bootable media by entering your BIOS or accessing your boot sequence. Upon burning the disc or making the bootable USB with that program, shut down the computer. In the secure erase tab, there should be an option to create a bootable cd/dvd or usb.
