You recently purchased an Asus Crosshair viii Formula and installed two Samsung 980 Pro 1TB M.2 2280 drives. Both are secured with the same stand-off and screw mechanism. You're considering using one as a boot drive and the other for gaming, but only the M.2_2 slot is accessible for Windows 10 installation. Need guidance or assistance?

It seems your USB drive got damaged during installation. You created a fresh Windows 10 install media on the M.2_2 slot but still can't locate it in M.2_1. Try checking other USB ports or using a different drive to see if it appears. If the issue persists, consider formatting M.2_1 and reinstalling Windows.
