Hey, 

 

Pulling my hair out here, I installed a 500gb 970 evo onto my Asus X99-s, using a pci adapter card as my heat sink blocks the vertical m.2 slot, and cannot for the life of me install Windows. 

 

I updated my bios and tinkered around with some of the bios settings as shown in various YouTube videos, and eventually I got it to show up in windows 10 installer, and went through the installation process. When it reset though, the drive was still not bootable and now wouldn't show on the bios or installer. 

 

I plugged in my old ssd and booted into windows, I can see the drive as another drive in windows and Samsung magician, and I can see some of the files left over from the install. However I still have no way of seeing it in the bios or booting it. 

 

What can I do? 

 

Thanks.
