Hey all,

I'm currently trying to install windows on a new ssd through a windows 10 media creation tool install on a USB drive. I get as far as setup, where I try to install windows to a drive, and by new drive doesn't show up. The drive has never been partitioned or used before. I already tried shift+f10, and the only drive that pops up is my USB. The drive shows up in BIOS. 

Thanks!

    Hi OwenTacy,

    Your motherboard support page is:

    https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-crossblade/rog-crossblade-ranger-model/helpdesk\_download

    On this page the storage driver is what I think you need. The link is

    https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/misc/sata/AMDRAID\_Win7-81-10\_V121\_131\_614\_612\_615.zip

    Extract to a folder on the USB drive and have the Load Driver search that folder.

    Hi,

    It is possible for a drive to appear in Bios, but still be non-functional..

    The Bios basically reads the Bios of the SSD.. Just because the SSD's Bios works does not mean the SSD works..

    Since the SSD has never been formatted it should appear regardless as to whether you select Legacy or UEFI Bios..

    Is this a typical SATA SSD, or is it one of the NVMe drives ?

    Great. I’ll still be able to boot off the same drive, right?

    A typical sata ssd. It’s straight out of the box.

    Yes. This driver is used when Windows is loading.

    The readme file for the installation notes:

    Installation Notes

    The driver can be installed either during OS setup or as an update

    To install the driver during OS setup use the setup dialog window (use the advanced settings to configure the Windows Setup program to use the specific driver; click “Load Driver” to load the specific driver from the media that includes the driver).

    Let me know.
