SSD shows on BIOS and device manager, but not on disk manager or diskpart

[martin1592]

I've been at this for hours... halp

 

I'm trying to install a Samsung 860, my PC already has a Samsung 960 M.2 (with Windows) and a random 4TB HDD.

 

The SSD appears on BIOS and device manager, but it does NOT appear on disk manager or diskpart or other software like speccy.

 

I've tried:

- Different SATA cables and connectors (even with the ones the current HDD is using which I know work fine).

- Updating BIOS, any related drivers, reinstalling Windows (it didn't show up on the windows installation software either).

- Completed a memory diagnostic test (someone said it worked for him but didnt for me)

- Clear cmos

 

I dont know what to do anymore... what am I missing?

 

Specs:

i7 8700K 

1080Ti 

32GB RAM

AORUS Z370 Ultra Gaming

Windows 10 Education

 

Any ideas? I'll provide any extra information if needed.

 

Thanks in advance!
