Hi, tried that but unfortunatley didnt work.
Ive contacted dell and samsung support hopefully they may be able to help.
Downloaded samsung live firmware update but my model was not supported.
Contacted seller and he says it is brand new drive and no reason why it shouldnt work but willing to send me another one if i send it back.

What a headache-cheers for you help tho guys!
