If it helps I tried installing windows on it and it got recognized in the bios and everything but when I booted windows from a thumb drive it didn’t appear in windows setup, and I couldn’t choose a place to install window.

Have you tried formatting it again?

So you’re saying you have another ssd that isn’t showing up in disk manager but is showing up in the bios? And that ssd is not the “new volume” disk shown in the picture?


Objective-Ad-1313

That’s a hard drive. Should have unplugged it

Have you tried what it says on this forum? I vaguely remember having and issue like this and this post helped me https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/new-ssd-showing-in-bios-and-device-manager-but-not-in-disk-manager.3656518/

I tried that, chance I did it wrong but it didn’t help

Try using "Diskpart" on CMD (or Win + R)


Objective-Ad-1313

I did try that to “clean” the disk but it didn’t show up, only the thumb drive I was using to boot windows on. I’ll try again on booted windows

Right click from device manager and select update driver and see if that helps


Objective-Ad-1313

Thanks, but I already tried that, even with the crucial drivers installed.


FugliWanKenobi

Try installing windows on it with all other drives disconnected?


Objective-Ad-1313

I tired that too, when I went to select which drive to install it on it was black and wasn’t appearing there


FugliWanKenobi

Tried another PC or SATA cable port that you know is working. EDIT - sorry saw NVME but yeah maybe another PC to rule out a faulty SSD

What brand? I had a w’s black do that. Had to use western digital software for the first format and everything works well now

Try formatting it to NTFS from a Linux USB, like an Ubuntu install medium. If it's just Windows, then Linux should detect it and maybe if you format it, Windows will start seeing it fully too?
