The message displayed plus the phone call to Samsung SSD 
support....who told me that Linux was difficult to work with, 
etc.....I told him I did not appreciate his comments; I just wanted

Was not supportive at all!

I have now went to an older HD I still had that was a dual boot with 
Windows 7 prof on it - will try to do it from there.......
