[NAME].Psaki  You can use this procedure to reinitialize the old drive: [URL] I would ren something like CrystalDiskInfo,to verify that the drive is still in good condition.
I am replacing a 4-yr old XPS 8920. Intel RST says "PCIe SSD on Controller 1, Port 0: At risk (SMART event)." My question is, can I transfer the old 1 TB HDD to my new system as a secondary HDD? If so, I assume I would have to remove the original partitions and reformat. What is the best tool for that? Thanks for your help!
