You're facing a tricky issue with your ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E. It seems like the hard drives are showing up in BIOS but not in Windows 10, especially those connected via SATA 6G ports 1 to 4. After trying cable changes and switching ports, the problem persists. You might need to adjust BIOS settings manually—perhaps updating firmware or reconfiguring storage paths. If you're unsure, consulting a professional technician could be helpful.

Yes, I checked the initialization status of the disks.

Thank you for your message. I understand the issue. You changed the cables connected to the SATA ports. The hard drives you connect to the SATA 6G_E1 or E2 ports appear in BIOS but aren’t visible in Windows 10. When you connect the same drive to a SATA 6G port on ports 1 to 4, it shows up in Windows. However, it’s not an initialization issue—I hope this resolves it.

No, I'm not checking disk management. Let me know if you need help with something else.

It was the initial step I took upon spotting the issue. No SATA 6G_E1 or E2 device appears in Windows or Disk Management.

Do you have any NVMe drives linked to the chipsets? Typically, most boards turn off specific SATA ports to prevent bandwidth problems when both NVMe and SATA are used together.

It seems the issue might be related to the NVMe connections. Checking if you can re-enable SATA ports in the BIOS could help resolve it.

Review the manual for disabled items and adjust accordingly. If none are listed, consider using a PCIe to SATA adapter to add extra ports, though for redundancy you might be better off with dedicated HBA cards rather than relying on software RAID.
