Yeah, I went into the bios and just clicked restore defaults (Never changed anything myself so idk what was wrong O_O), it booted up and the drive shows up now so strange. Must have been a setting that stopped it from showing up

On the computer it's not showing up on or the one it showed up in disk management on? This photo is the one that doesn't show it in disk management

I plugged it into another system and crystaldiskinfo showed no bad sectors

I have this system that shows the harddrive in the bios, but doesn't show in disk management in windows. So I am unable to make a partition for it... Motherboard is an MSI H61M-P31/M8 and the harddrive is a WD BLUE 500GB I also tried different sata ports and same thing still Thanks

I downloaded "AOMEI Partition Assistant" and that fixed this issue - both 500GB and a 2TB harddrive show up in windows now.

I found that pesky secure boot setting, turned it off - didn't help anything

So 2 drives I have plugged show up in the bios fine but Windows won't show them in this PC or disk management or in the system devices

The one I got is this one. I'll go check what chipset is used now. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000075147477.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.402c4c4ddGj6DA It does seem to be that is happening, annoyingly

I have this system was being upgraded which original specs had an E3 1240 and a H61 motherboard. It originally was 120GB Kingston SATA SSD and 500GB WD Blue Harddrive. The person it's for got given a WD Black SN750 500GB NVMe SSD but obviously it wasn't going to work with the original setup. I got a Chinese X79 motherboard which works with the drive. I cloned the old SSD to the drive, but after this it now doesn't read anything through the SATA ports. It will read any drive through USB but not SATA and I don't get why. I have also tried with a clean install of Windows on the WD drive and it still won't read anything that is plugged into the SATA. This is in the disk management also and not just My Computer. I took the NVME out and plugged the sata SSD with windows on and it does recognise through this same X79 motherboard so the fault isn't there. Any ideas why it isn't working? Thanks

Oh ? Well, I bought it from a bundle seller because it cost the same either way and the bundle seller never specified this on his own listing. I'll probably just sell this drive and upgrade to an nvme one honestly

This is the board that I have if it makes anything easier. So no way to make the integrated slot work with my M.2 Drive? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32941784993.html

I got one of those X79 bundles (E5 2689, 16gb quad channel and X79 PlexHD motherboard) which has an NVME X4 slot. I plugged my M.2 Drevo SSD into it and it isn't being recognised. Some research into it says it's becaause my M.2 drive is SATA and not PCIE. Is there any possible way for me to make the motherboard work with this slot, or do I need to get an adaptor? Thanks

They have tried all of that drivers countless of times

Only just realised what I typo'd x)
