SSD not working properly

[JCooper]

Recently I bought a Samsumg 850 evo SSD to store my games on to but after plugging it in and installing the drive in to my pc and downloading the software my pc doesn't let the drive work, in the bios it detects the SSD but in windows data manager it does not.

Please if anyone knows how to fix this I will appreciate it!

I guess you have tried the storage manager in Administration tools

Yes i have other than that i do not know what to do

[stealth80]

Check the settings in the bios, it maybe detected but not activated so windows can detect it, play around in the storage settings with ahci/raid etc and sata settings

So in Disk Management you cannot see the SSD at all?

Have you tried throwing it out of the window?

No I couldn't but I can see it in the bios

Hold on i will try that now

[Altecice]

Open up a command prompt as admin and type in:

Diskpart 

List Disk

 

Do you see the SSD there?

What size is your SDD and other drives?

Can you determine its showing in that list?

(assuming its the 111gb?)

120GB

The SSD doesn't even show up on file explorer

It doesn't show up here https://gyazo.com/81813a4baf17f147166ca68122c52ceb

Do you have any other 120gb drives/partitions?

 

The drive is actually showing in that cmd promt so windows should be able to detect it

[Altecice]

120GB 

 

Ok so it is the one I thought, ok so from that list type in;

 

Select disk 1

clean

List volume 

select volume # (whatever the volume is of the 111gb)

create part pri

format fs=ntfs quick

assign

 

It should now work. (its the same as doing it from GUI just via command prompt)

Its the 2nd drive in black "unallocated drive"

 

You need to format and partition it and give it a drive letter then it will show in my computer. All can be done in that manager

That is my only 120gb drive I have a 500gb external drive and and my main 1tb storge

This is a good idea.

[DaltonM]

Remove the power cables and sata cable from SSD and give the contacts a good blowing. 

 

Should work after that.

Do I do this in the Command prompt

How do I do that?

[Altecice]

Yes, stop following the 10000 suggestions people are giving you its a simple fix and you will just go around in circles.
