I have a win10 Pro box with a Samsung 840 Evo SSD (250Gigs) Trying to reformat a Samsung 840 Evo SSD (120Gigs) that was part of a ZFS SAN I recently dismantled, and re-purposed.
I can see the disk in DiskPart, but when I go to "clean" it I get an error.
VDS fails to write boot code on a disk during clean operation. Error code: 80070002@02070008
If I try to Initialize the drive in Disk Management I get:
Virtual Disk Manager The system cannot find the file specified.
I'm at wits end, I can't seem to find anything online regarding how to fix this. The drive is plugged directly into the MotherBoard (asus Z87-Pro).
Does anyone know how I can reformat this drive?

before clean use "ATTRIBUTE DISK CLEAR READONLY" in diskpart. – uDev – 2018-02-27T02:11:45.270
detail disk states: Read-only: NO
Also ran the command it it threw an error: DiskPart failed to clear disk attributes. – Jon Lillie – 2018-02-27T03:08:08.647
Perhaps there's a problem with the disk? – I say Reinstate Monica – 2018-02-27T03:18:02.880
The cause of issue related to window's SAN policy. Can you try it from linux? (ex. any live usb edition) @Twisty Impersonator: the disk may not fault, just some windows settings/policy protect the drive. – uDev – 2018-02-27T03:21:11.220
I finally got ahold of a USB stick with ubuntu live CD. the drive doesn't show up when you run lsblk. :/ etcher wouldn't install on my win 10 partition, and I got selected for jury duty – Jon Lillie – 2018-03-06T02:41:06.503
Anyone else have any ideas? It’s a shame to have to toss a couple of SSDs because they were part of a zfs setup. – Jon Lillie – 2018-03-09T03:27:56.073
