I recently swapped out my motherboard because my CPU stopped working. The ASUS Prime B450M-A II I bought is an issue—my hard drive isn’t showing up in Disk Management. The WD Green™ SATA SSD M.2 2280 seems fine, but it doesn’t appear at all. I’ve tried formatting the HDD and the whole computer, reinstalling Windows, but the problem isn’t the drive or the cable. It’s not working in Ubuntu either, where it shows up normally. I’ve used two different drives, including a Seagate Barracuda 1TB, but one had Windows installed and no issues there. Now I’m stuck—what should I do next?
I experienced the same issue before, actually two times. The first time it was resolved by switching the SATA cable. The second time I had to reinsert all the cables.
From Microsoft: Before proceeding, ensure you have a backup and a reliable copy. Open regedit, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Policies > Explorer. Look for the DWORD "NoDrives" with value '4'. If present, remove that key and restart the system.
