Location not found for your SSD.
Location not found for your SSD.
Hi! It seems your new SSD is being detected correctly in both BIOS and Device Manager. You updated the drivers using the Device Manager tool, but the issue persists. The "Corsair Force LE200 SSD" isn't showing up in Disc Management. You mentioned considering a GPT partition on your HDD, which might be worth noting. Despite trying to boot only the SSD with a USB and Windows 10, you couldn't locate it. You also ran memory diagnostics and checked DiskPart, but nothing changed. I understand this is frustrating—thanks for sharing your troubleshooting steps. If you need further help, feel free to ask.
Please clarify what you mean by "show the entire Disc management window." Do you need a summary, instructions, or something else related to it?
Only one hard drive and one SSD are connected. The hard drive is 931.9 gigabytes and the SSD is 240 GB. You noticed it appears fragmented, splitting into two separate partitions—C: and Data:—along with some minor sections. I don’t understand why this setup exists, but it seems unusual. It looks odd, but I’m not sure if it’s causing issues. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Turn off all additional storage devices. Attach the new SSD to the SATA port 1. If you have a Windows disk or USB drive, attempt to install Windows onto it. Navigate to the disk partition area and format it. Stop the installation process. Shut down the system. Reconnect the old hard drive, start Windows, and verify the disk management again. This might succeed or fail—please note I don’t remember all the steps.
It's possible your storage device isn't functioning correctly.
