SAMSUNG SSD 990 EVO Plus (m.2)

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 HD3P-CF

Windows NT Home

I see the SSD in the Bios but not in the manager or explorer.

When booting from an old windows 10 disk it is visible, but not in Windows NT

Please help!

Thanks!

    Are you able to break out of that loop to access the recovery environment using these steps.

    Start your PC, just as Windows attempts to load (spinning dots), press and hold Power Button for 5 - 10 seconds to perform a Hard Shut Down

    Do this twice

    On the third start Windows will boot into the Recovery Environment and from there you can access System Repair, Safe Mode, Command Prompt... etc.

    This is very strange, if you cannot access the Recovery Environment using those steps, then you will need to create a bootable Windows 11 USB on another working PC and boot your PC from that, then rather than installing Windows 11, select ‘Repair this Computer’ that will give you access to the Recovery Environment from there

    In the Recovery Environment on the USB, try each available option.

    Click this link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/win...

    to download the Media Creation Tool to create the bootable USB.

    Then, Boot your PC from the Installation Media you just created (change Boot Order in your BIOS)
