Sata drives not recognized after samsung 960 evo upgrade

[teun2408]

Hi,

 

Today I received my samsung 960 evo 500gb, I installed it in my pc where I was using a samsung 850 evo 250gb and a seagate 1tb drive and a external 2tb drive. 

So I went and installed the new 960 ssd, but when I went to instal windows on it I saw that it only detected my new ssd and the external 2tb drive but not the old 850 ssd and neither did it detect the 1tb hdd.

I went ahead and installed windows on the ssd because I thought maybe it would be fixed after I installed windows and new drivers, but nope now I have fully installed my pc but still can't see the hard drive and old ssd. 

I have gone in the bios but it's also not seen from there, I don't even have the option to boot from my old ssd anymore. I have installed all the drivers from my motherboard and from intel.

 

Do any of you have suggestions what could be the problem?

 

thanks Teun2408

I posted it on the wrong thread the first time, don't know how to delete that one. But this is the right thread for it?, or should I now leave the first one open and close this? if I find out how to do it.

 

I edited the old one, now it says that I that one was a mispost and removed the content. I don't know how to actually delete the post.

Try plugging the old drives into different sata ports, IIRC if the m.2 slot gets occupied it disables certain sata ports? Don't quote me on this but its worth a try.

Yes thanks, this was indeed the problem on my motherboard it disables the sata ports 1 and 2 when I use a m.2 ssd. I swaped them with porth 5 and 6 and they both work again :).
