Hey.

 

I have a problem with the new drive. It's visible in the BIOS, but not on Windows.

 

- Drive - Samsung MZ-V7S1T0BW 970 EVO Plus 1 TB NVMe M.2
- Motherboard - ASRock Z270 Gaming K4
- Windows 10

 

The disk is visible in:
- BIOS
- Device manager

 

I don't see it in:
- Disk management (and other partition programs such as the MiniTool Partition Wizard)
- File Explorer, Total Commander, etc.

 

I installed Samsung drivers, tried both M.2 ports, made Windows Memory Diagnostic. Nothing helps :( The disk is still not visible in Windows.

 

What do you advise?

 

I would appreciate your help.

What sata ports are you using on your MoBo. Your board has conflicts with M.2 slots and Sata ports. It looks like it should be the other way around. M.2 would make your current boot disc not read, but it could be the other way around. Double check what you have them plugged into.

@ZentharionNot knowing your setup, I'd start in the same place. If that doesn't work I'd look into making your own thread so there's not 2 different threads in one.

Right click the 970 in your Device Manager and format it. 

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

So I installed AOMEI Partition Assistant and it is the only program that detected my ssd. I initialized it in this and everything works. I hope it will help you too

It seems that AOMEI Partition Assistant did the trick!

 

It showed the drive. I did not have the "Initialization" option in it but I was able to make a partition, and after that the drive is visible in Windows!

 

Thank you a lot for your help!
