I've tried various ISOs like Minitool to wipe an SSD. What seems to happen is instructions are ignored and the SSD loads normally.

I loaded the Win10 Repair disk and went to Troubleshooting/command line.

Opening that I tried to run diskpart several times to use the 'clean' all instruction.

The repeated message I get is no disk found. CMD has more syntax errors than I can count.

Is this some peculiarity to SSDs ? Please recommend a bootable ISO to clean the SSD. From there
I can use your Low Level Format tool and reinstall NTFS.

Getting HDDs or SSDs recognizable when the operating system in the same just causes another failure so the utility has to run from DVD or (worst case) a bootable thumb drive.

Just the last thing I tried to get this SSD with win10 wiped.

I was able to use a hard drive with win7 that has HDD Low Level format tool.
The program ran from HD in win 7 with the SSD that has win 10 on system.

Initially the program says the disk is unlocked...

... but then when the format is selected to start, the LLF errors out saying the disk is locked.

The error mesage reports some file being open but I did all this after a fresh reboot.

Well I think this is solved.

Even HDD LLF did not run, from Win 7 I was able to run Windows Disk Management to reformat on Win 10.

I had tried this before but two clones disks produce errors.

What I should have now is a small SSD I can use for data storage with no conflicts.

I'll check it again but for now I'll just shut everything down.

more to do.

When I put on the boot SSD with win 10 and added the blank SSD wiped in Win 7 from HDD the
blanked disk does not show up in Win10 boot drive. I went back to the HD with Win 7. This time, the LLF format started and is running so a fresh wipe in progress.
One thing I'd ask about is; if all this at least gets the blank drive recognized, what do I have to to do in the way of initializing through Disk Management?

Success.

After a lot of screwing around because not knowing where to start (see issues above),

HDD Low Level Format ran yesterday from an HDD with Win 7 I had on the shelf.

What worked in this instance is to run AOMEI Builder I have on DVD in ISO (a free program) after low level.

I ran multiple options from Builder including Rebuild MBR, format and create partition.

Most of the time spent was from me forgetting necessary pieces to do this.

I tried a couple of folder transfers and it seems to be working to store data.

One peculiarity I found in all this lack of SDD recognition was that to clone the smaller to the larger SDD
which succeeded, i failed to run some of the modern clone tools. What finally got the clone made was to
run a a very old edition of Norton Ghost 11.5 I still had and , it turns out , I still use.
