Hi,

Have you tried using diskpart

Open CMD as administrator

type      diskpart

               list disk

               select disk X      (select the 120GB disk, put the number instead of the X)

               clean

now you can type exit to close diskpart and then close the CMD. Go into Diskmanager and initialize the drive. You should then try to reinstall on the SSD as it will have a greater performance.

Hope it helps,

David

"DiskPart has encountered an error: Access is denied.
See the System Event Log for more information. "

I also tried other solution i found on internet .Not working

You are using administrator account?
