    Code 45 errors usually indicates a connection problem on the drive, is that an internal or external drive?

    1

    If that is an internal drive, ensure the SSD is connected correctly in the slot on the motherboard.

    If that is an external SSD, try connecting it to a different USB port.2

    2

    If that does not resolve the problem, go to the support page for your PC on the manufacturers website to download and reinstall (not update) the chipset drivers they provide.
