SSD shows up as offline and i can't set it to online

[TheJulez]

Hi everyone!

I just got a new ssd which is now my new boot drive. Installing windows went well but now i put in my old boot drive to format it with disk managment so i can use it as a secondary drive but it is showing up weirdly. When i right-click on it everything is greyed out. When i start disk managment it asks me to choose between MBR and GPT but if i choose GPT i get an error message. Any help is greatly appreciated!

PS: Sorry for the OS being in german, hope thats not an issue.

it says not initialized, if you right click it should be an option to initialize it. and check that it is marked as online. 

 

But.. we would need to know a bit more around the system, 

Mainboard, what the other disk is, what ports they are plugged in to. etc.

When i right click i dont have the option to initialize, everything is greyed out.

Mainboard: MSI Z790 Tomahawk Wifi

Disk 1: WD-Black SN 770 2TB installed in Slot 1 M.2

Disk 2: Corsair Force MP 510 installed in Slot 3 M.2

can't even turn it offline and online? 

i would check in bios if it's set to SSD or pcie.

Just checked it doesn't even show up in Bios. But it does in Disk Management
