Drives not appearing on my computer

Go to solution Solved by Husky,

right click on the black unallocated spaces and create a new simple volume with NTFS

I just bought and installed two new drives they both appear in BIOS and computer management

  • Samsung 960 Evo 500 GB M.2 2280 
  • Western Digital black series 1TB

I have reset the computer changed around where everything is plugged in a few times (outside of the m.2 which only has one slot) not honestly sure what else I can do

Noctua - NH-D14 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler

Gigabyte - GA-Z170X-UD3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

format it as NTFS

windows key -> create and format disk partitions

 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

138 is a good number.
