NVME not recognized , I cannot see my m.2

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I cannot get my 2 TB NV3 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 Kingston drive to be visible.
I cannot see it anywhere in the BIOS.
I have updated my BIOS using the creative.rom method.
(June 20, 2025).
I have removed and re-inserted the CMOS battery.
I don't know what else to do.
I did get the drive to be visible in the Media Sanitization Configuration option and thus decided to sanitize that. Taking a long time for that.
I know that is not really relevant but it is the only sign that the 
BIOS sees my drive.

What else can I do ?
--
I am using the B650 PG Lightning board.
64GB memory is seen,
CPU recognized.

	I should mention this is a new computer build and there is no OS , no partition table on the drive. Straight out of the box. How do I use a linux live usb ( i use linux, ventoy didn't work ) , to force the system to load from my usb since I don't see any boot options in the bios ? thanks
