Over Provisioning is greyed out in Samsung Magician

[volkmaestro]

After last two updates of Samsung Magician i can't change over provisioning partition size. Can't even delete it.

And now i have 528MB recovery partition which wasn't there before.

Please help.

Hi @volkmaestro 

Did you manage to get this sorted out or are you still having the same issue?

[volkmaestro]

Nope. All still the same.

I have the exact same problem. My product is an 500GB 960 EVO M.2 NVME. Please help a customer out, Samsung.

Hi,

Hanwha Techwin has nothgin to do with Samsung nor do they give any Support for Samsung SSDs. They are a surveillance camera manufactur.

Same with me. I found a new recovery partition on my disk just next to the OP partition, which me too suddenly became grayed out.

After a little search I found someone who stated he understood how to resolve this. According to him it is linked with this new recovery partition just next to OP partition which makes Samsung Magician struggle so it kind freezes it out.

This guys just deleted this mysterious new recovery partition and voilà ! It made sens because before apparition of this recovery partition OP was not grayed out in my case + the size of this recovery part. was not the same as my legit recovery part. (like half its size).

So I just did like him and with powershell admin, diskpart just deleted (carefully) the new strange recovery partition and right after that OP in Samsung Magician became available again.

Problem solved.
