I'm dealing with a tricky setup. My second M.2 isn't being recognized, and I'm feeling like I'm testing extreme solutions. When I first built the system, I used a WD Blue SSD in the M2P_CPU slot with Windows 10. It worked fine then. After switching to a 980 Pro in that slot with Windows 11, I thought an updated drive would help. I've connected the old WD Blue to the M2A_SB but it still doesn't show up in BIOS or Windows. I've tried reseating it, updating BIOS, removed the HDD cable, and double-checked the CPU—confirming it's an 11th Gen Intel processor. It seems like something might be wrong with the drive itself or the slot. I'm not sure if I've missed a simple step, but I'm getting frustrated. Maybe the drive is faulty or the slot isn't compatible. If you have any clues, I'd appreciate your help!

Yes, you can try wiping the CMOS.
