Tried MiniTool partition software which failed detecting the SSD too.Īnd probably more which I am forgetting right now. Used Samsung's software "Samsung Magician" and "Data Migration". Even moved it in a USB stick and tried to load the driver by clicking the "Load Drivers" option in Windows Installer. Ran Samsung's exe which contained the SSD's latest driver version. Uninstalled the SSD from the Device Manager Reinstalled the SSD making sure it fits and connects correctly to the motherboard Tried commands in Windows Installer cmd like fixmbr, fixboot, diskpart etc. Tried to install Windows 10 from 2 different USB sticks DIsabled CSM Support and Secure Boot and Keys are cleared The motherboard's name is AB350M-DS3H.Īfter a lot Google searching, I have tried almost everything with no success: What's strange though is that Task Manager found it in the very beginning of the first boot but stopped doing so after a while. It won't appear in Disk management ( Note: there's no unallocated space either) ,in Task Manager or as a drive in "My Computer". Even after booting in my old laptop's HDD (Windows 10) which I installed on this PC, the ssd will appear normally in Device Manager but only there. The problem is that Windows 10 Installer will not detect it. So recently I built my first Desktop and bought a Samsung NVMe 960 EVO M.2 SSD as well.
