Windows 10 not detecting ssd?!?

[derrickd241]

So, I got this new laptop and put in my ssd so I could clone it from the original drive 5400 drive (molasses).  Everything is plugged in and the ssd shows up in bios as what it should be and when I boot up windows the drive will show up for about 5 mins and then it will be like its not even there, like it disappears from existence.  Even in the disk management it will not show up, When it's briefly visible in file explorer I formatted the drive to NTFS and still no luck.  This drive is sooooooooo freaking slow I cant even stand it 5 mins to boot to windows not even an exaggeration.  I should also add that secure boot in bios is also disabled. I also, have a seagate 1tb hybrid drive I could try I guess, but to get to my ssd (crucial mx100 500gb) I have to remove the bottom of the case which I don't want to if i don't have to.

If the drive is currently "clean" (with nothing on it) try installing ubuntu or something. See if linux can find it. If so, try installing windows via usb and let windows format the drive during the install. 

If not.. i'm really not sure.

 

To recover your files, just use another computer and transfer over network or grab a sata to usb adapter

The drive is clean formatted to NTFS no partitions or anything, but when I try to run ubuntu off a live usb the logo shows up, wait 5 mins, then my computer says that there was an error and that no live filesystem was found.  Even though it works and installed flawlessly on my other computer

on your other computer, can you get it to show up as a plain secondary drive?

Does it show up when you use diskpart in windows?

[mechanicalfluff]

if you go diskpart in cmd, accept the uac, type: list disk, you'll see the disk you want's total size

type: select disk (whatever disk it is)

as long as you don't have anything important on there, type: clean

 

Next it will tell you it's been successful

Type: create partition primary

look in disk management in windows, it should show up

Idk, my other computer is a laptop and I can't connect another drive to it or I most definitely would.  My ssd is actually out of my desktop that I no longer use/got rid of so i know its not the ssd
