SSD not showing up under My Computer???

[FunKaLiTy]

Hi, once again I need your help

 

Okay so I had some issues with my M.2 NVMe SSD after I did a clean wipe using the manufacturers software (Toshiba SSD Utility Tool), I could no longer boot from my other SSD which is the one I had installed Windows on.
I believe this happened because Windows was stupid and chose to partition up my other SSD (not the one I installed Windows on) for it's MSR part or whatever you call it, so when I did a full wipe of what should have been an empty SSD Windows could no longer launch. (Reason I did the wipe was that I was getting a BSOD about half the time when booting up giving me an error I read up on how to remove, but could not remove using the described method...long story short)

So I ended up doing a clean wipe of my other SSD as well and reinstalling Windows with only that SSD installed to the motherboard, it's now working fine without BSOD issues.

 

However....of course there had to be more issues....when I reinstalled the Toshiba SSD on the motherboard it's not showing up under My Computer, meaning it's inaccessible and completely useless.

 

I tried going to device management and uninstall the SSD, turn of computer, remove SSD from motherboard, reboot computer, turn it off again, reinstall the SSD, reboot, check for drivers, initialize the SSD using Acron True Image, but still it's not showing up

 

The C drive is my other SSD (WD Black 500GB).

 

Please anyone know what else I can try? Please check screenshot for some details

you just need to format your disk 1 under disk management, as it is for now unallocated.

But as you can see it's not showing up under disk management

I can see on the disk management screenshot a Disk 1 that is unallocated, you need to right click on it and format to ntfs

Ah I see now where you mean, but when i right click there the top 4 options are greyed out (none of them say format, they just say "New something volume"), my options are to either convert to dynamic disk or convert to GPT-disk, Disconnect or go into Properties.

luckilly I can use google translate ahah !

 

But what happend if you convert it to GPT ? 

[FunKaLiTy]

I converted, checked, rebooted checked and seemingly nothing happened, but now it seems I can re-initialize the disk using the Acron True Image software.
I could not do that before, don't remember exactly what happened when I did the "Add new disk" thing earlier, but since the first time I initialized it after having removed it and reinstalled it again I didn't get this initialize option anymore when doing the Add new disk thing with the Acron True Image, now I did as you can see in screenshot, which option should I choose? Last time I chose MBR layout

 

[FunKaLiTy]

YES! I found the solution, I had to right click just a little further to the right from where I did in the Disk Manager ^^

 

When clicking in the big area where it said it was unallocated I had the option to give it a drive letter thus allocating it and now it's available for use again
