NVMe not shown in Win 10 installer

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

   Hi,I have problem with installation of Windows 10 on WD NVMe WDS250G2X0C because this disk is not detected by Win 10 installer. My MB is ASRock B450M PRO4 with AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU.

SSD is shown in BIOS and I can choose it as boot source.

I tried booth method from this thread: http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1236&title=how-to-install-windows-on-a-pcie-ssd but nothing worked.

In Win 10 instalation, when i tried "diskpart" command it shows my SSD correctly. I tried changing partition table to GPT and MBR and nothing helped.

I will be glad for any advice.
Thank you.

	I tried Win 8.1 installation too, but with 100% same bad result. Could be Samsung SSD 970 EVO better choice or I can expect same problems? Edited by kumen - 09 Sep 2018 at 8:37pm

	it does seem strange i would suggest fully clearing cmos (jumper pin+remove battery+ remove power lead 10 mins) and reseating the nvme drive into the socket (you do have it in the upper m2 ultra socket ?) if still no good i would assume the drive might have a defect then
