Check in the users manual whether using the M.2 slot disables SATA ports. I think they do

In some cases they indeed disable some ports (ports 5 and 6),

OP should move the SATA drive to a different port.

When I install my Samsung 970 evo (M.2), my SATA drive is no longer recognized. Even when I go into my bios under boot drives, all it shows is the 970 evo. When I remove it and go into bios, my SATA drives show up again. Also when I boot with 970 evo removed, it boots using my other drive like normal. Finally, I had to install windows on the 970 evo because without it, trying to boot would take me to a black screen telling me to select a boot drive and reboot or something.I don't understand why. I just want to use my 970 evo as a supplementary drive. I'm running windows 10. Here is my hardware:

Ryzen 5 3600x

Patriot viper 3200mhz (16gb)

Asus B450 Prime mb

Vega 64

Gigabyte 500gb SSD (SATA)

EVGA 850W Gold psu

Check in the users manual whether using the M.2 slot disables SATA ports. I think they do
