My new crucial mx500 does not show on bios so I cant install windows, why?

Anonymous

Bought a new crucial mx500 sata ssd, for my asus x555ld, to make it a litle faster, but it does not show up on bios, it does show on list part, and if I boot from usb drive, I can see it as an option to install windows, but then it says it does not have a driver, any ideas?

So with the new one, I should have to disable CSM to see my usb drive?

Hi Bruno,

If you can see the USB drive when CSM is enabled, then the USB is created incorrectly for an old Legacy BIOS with Rufus.

On your system it all needs to be set up for UEFI BIOS.

I still feel like the problem isn't usb drive related, because the other usb did the same, the ssd just does not get detected on my bios.

But im already creating the new usb drive, and I'll try those options you said

Hi Bruno,

Honestly, I have installed Windows on hundreds of PC's, Rufus always causes problems, those steps if you follow them closely will work for a UEFI based BIOS system.

But we've tried with a different usb drive, created with Windows media tool, and the result was the same.

But I'll give it a try anyway, got nothing to lose, i'll inform you later
