BIOS doesn't recognize m.2

[ByteTal]

My Mobo won't recognize my m.2 which is my boot drive. I tried anything and nothing happened, please help me, I'm desperate

I have a b450-a ll

 

edit: I took my m.2 to my friend and we checked it, it turns out that the m.2 can't boot, thanks to all of you for trying to help

Have you been only trying the one m.2 slot? Do you have another you can test?

Take out your Seagate hard drive. see if  that makes it detect theSSD. Make sure you dont have it plugged into one of the ports that may disable it.

 

You could always just update the bios and see if it helps

Did you try switching the mode between UEFI and Legacy mode? Another thing I would check is if the SSD is a different PCIe generation. I have a 10th gen Intel CPU with a Z590 board where the one M.2 Slot is only for Gen 4 PCIe which 10th Gen Intel doesn’t have. Since you apparently only have one M.2 slot from previous replies, I would just check the storage menu in the BIOS to make sure it’s set to the generation the motherboard manual says it can run instead of Auto. The last thing I would look for is whether the M.2 SSD is actually an NVMe SSD or if it is a SATA-based SSD and whether your motherboard supports that or not.
